Upon cracking this can, you may begin to daydream, but this hoppy heaven of a beer is real life. The aggressively hop forward nose, provided by Nugget and Mosaic, is followed by waves of citrus and tropical fruits from Cascade and Citra. The medium body from oats and unmalted wheat leads you into a palate full of fresh squeezed orange juice and hints of grapefruit thanks to the addition of Simcoe. The finish is surprisingly clean with a lingering fruitiness that begs for another gulp.

Tap at gollem. Pours unclear, milky yellow. Small white head. Smell is creamy hops. Tad sweet trough it's aroma of fruityness. Taste is sharp. Médium intense bitter. Extremely creamy. Hoppy as hell! Tropical (pineapple etc) fruityness trough the aromatic compounds of the hops. Extremely creamy. A blast of lupilin powder!!!

Pour is a murky orange juice lookalike with a small white head. Aroma is a nice sweet peach and mango, very fruity. Flavor is again a mango with some peaches and a bit of green onion hits you after the swallow. This is a bit sweeter than most of the other murky IPA's I've had. This reminded me of drinking the juice out of a can of fruit cocktail.

Draught Fully muddy yellow-ochre beer with fluffy off-white head. Citrusexplosion, clean fruity acids, lunaria, nectarine, New World hopmonster. Bitterish-fruity, more grapefruit, also nectarines, marmalade. Notes of sage and wormwood. Sharp, nearly astringent from the hopoils. Fully yeast-filled, feels better carbonated than it looks. Very nice. Not much in the matter of presentation, but what a hopbomb! 8/4/7/4/16
