Got in a trade with brutalfarce. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 12/27/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, raspberry, blueberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate lactose/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, raspberry, blueberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, raspberry, blueberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate lactose/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a fantastic milkshake NEAPA. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate lactose/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Amazing Mosaic/Enigma profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a nice balancing lactose and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
