My can says its brewed by rivertown and it also says mimosa IPA, so I guess this is the place to put it? Got it from chalet in boardman. Poured into a mug, its hazy, almost muddy, and it smells alot like oranges. tastes like oranges too, with a heavy punch of IPA as well. However, the orange is the forefront. Yes, I dislike IPA but this has an edge on it that I can appreciate. Don't think I've had an orange flavored IPA, I'd have to say its a fruit beer, not really an IPA per se. A little weird if you ask me. BWDIK?

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours very hazy golden orange/amber color with a small fairly dense and fluffy off white head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing eventually. Minimal lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, oranges, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; and light orange tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, oranges, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no astringent hop/fruit flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and fruit tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/sticky, fairly resinous/rindy, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is a delicious fruited brut IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, oranges, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink for the ABV; with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Feels like Columbus, Centennial, Cascade, Simcoe hops. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops/oranges; with a nice solid malt backbone, and no residual sweetness from crisp resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering; and well made spot on style example. Great balance between hops and oranges.
