Can, undated, drunk 12/19/18.
Muddy/soupy/chalky looking drab-brass. Frothy, white head atop is slow to recede.
Smells like Mosaic and sure enough it's in there. Nectarine, pine and light resin with somewhat harsh citrus. Seems to be quite malty; can smell the rich, honey-like notes. There is definitely something weird in there, almost gasoline-like.
In the mouth, the beer is fantastically well-brewed, as far as the malt goes. Very soft, malty and well-attenuated but with enough malt sugar leftover to keep it balanced. Tight carbonation. Unfortunately, the hops are a bit resinous and there are some odd phenolic compounds adding an almost gasoline-like note, seen in the nose. That being said, the Belma provides some nice pineapple, floral and apple notes while the Mosaic contributes light pineapple-mango. Those are very nice and the bitterness is appropriate, as well. Some lingering spice, pine and resin. So a bit of a mixed-bag, though I think that's just the Mosaic and El Dorado being the usual shitty hops they are. LIC still kicks ass.

Super hazy golden and straw coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of light grassy and herbal hops with a dose of flowers and more resinous and citrusey hop flavours. Medium-bodied; Strong rich and pungent citrusey and grassy hop bite at first with a good deal of alcohol noticeable, some lighter yeastie and floral malt components and a dash of sweetness from the citrus fruits and a pungent cleanser-like flavour towards the end. Aftertaste shows the grass and very dry hop notes with a light bite from alcohol and citrus with a very clean and robust flavour throughout. Overall, a nice and very floral-forward beer that is super dry, but showing a bunch of complexities with the yeast finishing it off nicely. Good to sample and well worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-September-2018 for US$3,89 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-October-2018.

Very hazy amber golden color. Dry with mangoes and pineapples. Slight astringent. Low bitterness. Modestly juicy. The over ripe mangoes just linger. Decent

16 oz. can purchased at Citi Field, Queens, NY. Consumed directly from the can. Shows a mild juicy character. Good citrus, mild pineapple, and some light grass. Subtle bitterness at first and increases as it warms. Good.

(On tap @ Himmeriget, Copenhagen, July 7/17) Cloudy dark gold pour with a big white head. Notes of semi-sweet mixed citrus fruits, fairly light mango, pine needles, lightly earthy, some sweetness to the malt core supports things and balances a moderately bitter finish. Medium bodied for style, fairly average and slightly creamy carbonation. Pretty solid modern single IPA, not the most hyper-concentrated or unique but quite drinkable.
