MC² is Photon’s big brother. We literally took Photon’s hopping rate and squared it. This DIPA is our tribute to the amazing relationship that energy and mass are balanced, proportional to the speed of a photon squared. It pours a hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and apricot. MC² tastes like succulent mango juice loaded with chewy hop resins. It’s very drinkable for 8.0%; be careful, this one can sneak up on you.

Tap at Drinkøteka. Murky orange-golden body, thick off-white head. Citric, peachy and overall heavily vegetal aroma. Smooth, soft, elegant, bit creamy body, highly drinkable... And yet the low citric and stone fruit notes get overwhelmed by this weird huge vegetal note. Yeah, nah. Something went wrong here. And I can totally see this being lovely, the body is nice, the alcohol well hidden, but what I'm drinking right now is... Not worth the money invested. Sadly.

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy yellow, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of papaya, pineapple, peach, young cheese, shallot, white pepper, yellow grapefruit. Taste has sweetish pineapple & peach in a doughy, crackery malt body with some bitter grapefruit & shallot. Bitter floral & piney hops in the finish, lingering tropical juicy fruits and grapefruit. Alcohol remains hidden. Medium body, slick-oily texture, average carbonation. Just a solid juicy, almost chewy Hazy.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a few tiny flecks beneath thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of papery malt and lemon. Flavour of bitter orange rind and papery malt. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is papery and pithy - something has gone a bit wrong here. I was hoping for much better.

Аромат весьма сильный, есть и фрукты и травянистые составляющие, немного дыни и персиков, намеки на лимон и ананасы. Цвет желтый, насыщеный и мутный с пенкой белой. Вкус тоже фруктовый, только есть яркая алкогольная нотка при глотке. Легкая терпкость, снова фрукты. Очень хороший баланс.

This brew has a very citrusy hop aroma. It tastes of citrus, malt, mild hops bitterness, and a little pine, but mostly this is citrus. It’s alright but to me not at the level I was expecting given others' ratings. Maybe mine wasn’t fresh enough.
