A Hazy IPA that radiates the full spectrum of modern hop eccentricities. An initial burst swells with the essence of ripe mango, papaya and apricot, while reverberant threads of green grass and prickly pine tether its final form. Here’s to a bright spot.

Enjoying at the Art Institute Cafe. From a can, no glass. Aromas are grapefruit, wet grain and malt. Leans just slightly bitter with enough sweet and carbonation to balance. Body is a touch thin but still very drinkable. Nice beer.

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Hazy orange-golden body, off-white head. Ginormous dank aroma, mild fruity touches... maaaan this was dank. Lean, resinous taste, bit citric, soft, sticky, not too bitter, anty, bit messy but chuggable.

Pour is a hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is a minor orange and mango. Flavor is a little bland with some mango showing up toward the end. Kind of a basic hazy but just does not have enough oomph to make it a good one.

Can, from the taproom. Pours hazy dark yellow with a #mall foamy off-white head, mango-orange aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange-unripe mango taste, somewhat thick body, long finish. Tasty.
