Big flavor, body, and ABV coming from the Idaho 7, Mosaic & El Dorado hops, along with subtle bitterness from the Styrian Wolf hops added to the boil & whirlpool.

Can from Beerdome. Aroma is fruity hop with citrus, some pine, orange, mango, soft pale malt, tropical notes, some sweetish pale malt. Flavour is rather on the sweet side with a moderate bitterness. Body is medium. Decent, but I'm a bit disappointed by the sweetness.

Hazy IPA by this Detroit craft brewery, making use of Idaho 7, Mosaic and El Dorado hops. Medium thick, creamy, egg-white, shred-lacing, opening head on a hazy apricot blonde beer. Aroma of peach purée, ripe pineapple slices, whipped cream, dough, yellow kiwi, mango, raw yellow bell peppers, dough, raw celery, honey, marijuana. Sweet, fruity onset, lots of mango purée, granadilla juice and Zespri kiwi, fizzy carb, soft doughy body; malt sweetish core with honeyish sugariness to it somewhere, soon drenched in very lusciously aromatic hoppiness, reminiscent of sweet mandarin, mango, kumquat and persimmon, with a peppery tail from gin-like alcohol. Fruitiness overrules dankness here, in a most charming way; the creamy mouthfeel and ‘green plant’-like aspects in the nose only made it more interesting. Among the better hazy IPAs tasted that evening.

Can at home sourced from Ales & Brews - hazed up yellow colour with a white head. New brewery tick ✅ lots of papaya and tangerine, touch of mosaic bubblegum, blueberry, further idaho 7 apricot and red grapefruit notes chiming in, creamy sweet malts, solid hoppy close. No initial wow but was a grower as it warmed up a little more, nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Big Tuba on 26 Mar 2025 at 12:02 - Score: 7.
