Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 3/16/2018. Pours very hazy/cloudy golden orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy passion fruit, limes, mint, fruit skin, citrus peel/zest, lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, light peppercorn/pine, honey, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of passion fruit, lime, mint, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy passion fruit, limes, mint, fruit skin, citrus peel/zest, lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, light peppercorn/pine, honey, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy passion fruit, limes, mint, fruit skin, citrus peel/zest, lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, peppercorn, pine, honey, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of passion fruit, lime, mint, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8%. Overall this is an awesome fruited DIPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of passion fruit, lime, mint, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/acidic/tangy/drying finish. Fairly soft feel, not aggressive. Extremely juicy/vibrant limes and passion fruit; balanced Mosaic hop complexity, and bready malt backbone. Touch of dankness. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. Mint fits in perfectly, and is not overwhelming. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Sample at the 6th Annual Craft Beer Festival by The Community Tap on 04/21/2018. Cloudy orange color with a medium bone white head that recedes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of herbal hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, hops, malt and mint. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Mango and guava nose. Opaque amber, medium head. Orange, lime, mango, mint. Full body, easy carbonation. I normally don't like the combination of fruit and mint, but this really worked.

Tart, sour IPA, good fruit forward flavors, bit flat.

Whole lotta nope in this bottle. Aggressive passion fruit juice dominates all aspects of the beer, at least until the mint adds a weird NyQuil vibe to the finish that kinda wrecks everything. Mosaics try their best to add some earthy, gummy sweetness, but this beer's nothing but passion fruit. So, I mean, if you're into passion fruit with a green NyQuil chaser, go right ahead, but holy hell is this a gimmick gone horribly awry. Pours a nice hazed orange-gold with a massive head and good lacing. And the texture's smooth and oily and lacks any trace of the ABV. But these plus marks skew the score; this beast is much worse than it rates.
