Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours lightly hazy deep golden color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with goof retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big pineapple, tangerine, peach, mango, passion fruit, melon, berry, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great complexity of bright citrus/tropical hops and light-moderate pale malt balance; with great strength. Taste of big pineapple, tangerine, peach, mango, passion fruit, melon, berry, orange peel, floral, grass, pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, tangerine, peach, mango, passion fruit, melon, berry, orange peel, pine, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and robustness of bright citrus/tropical hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome IPA. All around great complexity and robustness of bright citrus/tropical hops and light-moderate pale malt balance; and very smooth and crisp to drink. Seems to be very big on Mosaic hop flavors. A highly enjoyable offering.
