Named after Pompeii which was famous for not only the volcano that destroyed it, but the amazing mosaics on the walls of the ruins. This IPA is created with the same attention to detail as the beautiful mosaics that graced the city of Pompeii. It features mango and pineapple hop flavors with a medium-body feel to tantalize the senses.

From a 473ml can on 25/5/202. Pours a hazy medium golden with a medium head. Has a big juicy citrus nose. The flavour is also big on the citrus, both sweet with the orange and savoury with the lemon and grapefruit, with the bitterness very pronounced for the style. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Quite powerful and challenging, with lots going on, but also harmonious and satisfying. Excellent beer.

On draught at Frontier Brewing and Taproom.
Pours a hazy orange yellow with a decent head of foam.
Smells tropical, citrus, the usual aromas for the style but of course, it is Mosaic all the way.
Tropical fruit, citrus, pineapple, dank like many of the style are. Decent amount of bitterness. Wears on my palate after a while; that's normal for me.
Good mouthfeel.
Another nice one from these folks.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 01/14/21, 2 months old; no ABV on the can
Murky blond colour. The aroma is moderately dank, there is also some citrus zest. Dry mouthfeel, on the weak side for an IPA, and a bit too chalky; the combination of chalk and lack of sugars highlights certain pithy bitterness elements, overpowering the hop qualities; definitively a beer that would need some cleanup and sweetness.
Good, but dirty.

Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Dank and weedy hops with some sweet orange. Much like the nose, sweet citrus peel and some dank with a nice balanced bitterness. Very nice and classic profile. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pompei on 02 Feb 2016 at 01:01 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.
