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.

Fruit-forward, with a huge burst of tropical Mosaic notes coupled with berry, peach, bubblegum, and grapefruit. Crackery malts don't add much to the mix, nor does the mild, yeast-tinted citric fade. Not bad, but still lacks much depth beyond the initial hop rush. Very much for new-school IPA people. A little more hop oomph on the back end is needed.

Sample at Daily Growler Powell during the Pre-Thanksgiving Hoof Hearted + Late Night Slice Pizza Party on 11/27/2020. Hazy yellow color with a medium white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, tropical fruit and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of resiny hops, zesty citrus and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours grapefruit/hazy gold? with a white head. Gold? Dirt? Aroma is supercalamosaicalistic expearomoaiscalidocious. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is super Mosaic. Dry. Bitter. Tropical - melon - passion fruit - white berry. And it is almost mouth destructive in terms of intense flavor. Amazing. Maybe TG deserves more attention from me.

16 oz can. Pours a cloudy light apricot/gold with a dense head and aromas of juicy fruit... citrus and a bit of peach. Flavor is a nice mix of fruit notes with a balance of honey sweet malt and a kind of chewy mouthfeel. Decently yummy and a good example of the style.

Can, kindly shared by Wendigo, many thanks. Hazy yellow color with small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, zest. Nice hoppy taste with tropical fruits, zest, pines. Long hoppy bitterness finish. Nice.
