"Hop Bomb" would be cliche to describe this beer. It goes way beyond that - pungent, intense aromas of pineapple, freshly crushed gooseberry, orange pith and the whole spectrum of DANK blast through the glass. That's what you get with a clean fermentation and heathly heaping of Mosaic, Citra, & Galaxy hops.

Solid aromatics of curry and resin. Hazy light golden-yellow with moderate white head. Alcohol overwhelms and it is a blend of medicine and fusals. Moderate burn.

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has bright piney hops, some resinous hop oils, light tropical melon, and a thin biscuity malt base. Flavour is much the same, bursting with bright piney, citrusy hops, tropical melon, and a surprisingly thin biscuity malt base for a IIIPA. Ridiculously well-balanced, more of a blonde IPA with a wonderfully vibrant hop expression. Wonderful.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Pine, sweet malts, and yuzu on the nose. Flavour is jammed full of hops, bright pine, yuzu, melon; sweet malts. Very well-balanced, strong hop flavours and a reasonably thick body. This is excellent.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear darkish gold with a monstrous foamy near white head. Pine wafts from the pour. Dank. Med plus body. Flavor is dank, juicy, garlic/green onion and pine/resin. Very dry. Astringent. Bitter. Yet juicy. Hops that knock malt right out of the park. Fantastic flavor.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 11, 2021. Aroma is moderately hoppy with notes of tropical fruit, orange, grapefruit and pine. Medium light cracker malt notes, light caramel and lights alcohol notes. Pours a clear, brilliant gold with a medium small, medium sized, thick, pillowy white head that recedes quickly to the edges. Light lacing and medium length legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with light cracker malt and caramel notes. Fairly strong bitterness with medium light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of grapefruit, orange and citrus notes with lighter notes of stone fruit and dank, resin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid TIPA. It's fairly malty and sweet, but it has a decent amount of hop bitterness and character to counteract the malt profile. Alcohol is decently hidden.
