Soft in body, straw gold in color, with a rich, heavenly hoppiness, Cosmic Bloom expands across the senses. A galactic dose of American and Australian hops combine to create a citrus and berry forward hop profile worthy of exploration.

Can at L42 - thanks to sister Smith. It pours hazy yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, green, danky, green banana, ripe stone fruits, peach, nectarine and a touch of citrus. The taste is dry, bitter, green, grassy, dank, pine, straw, slightly herbal, ripe stone fruits and citrus peel with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Solid NE hop juice. Drinks well.

Very hazy, pale yellow. no head. has an orange smoothie aroma with peach. Really soft carbonation. flavor finishes with a very bitter old grapefruit flavor. It has all of those new england IPA elements but everything has a bit of a stale flavor.
