American IPA brewed with 100% Mosaic hops. The Mosaic gives this Midwest Coast IPA mega huge berry floral flavors and aroma. Just a solid tasting crispy IPA, because everyone should have a little security and finance in their lives.

Can. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grass with light citrus, a touch of papaya and a grain backbone. Flavor has light pine and grass with a bit of citrus, some papaya and a light grain note underlying.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; 2016 vintage bottling. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge pineapple, tangerine, peach, passion fruit, papaya, apricot, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fantastic aromas with awesome complexity and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big pineapple, tangerine, peach, passion fruit, papaya, apricot, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, honey, biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, tangerine, peach, passion fruit, papaya, apricot, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange zest, pepper, pine, honey, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding IPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.
