Draft at Ballard Brewery. Hazy orange gold pour. Creamy white cap leaves wonderful lacing. Zesty citrus aromas hint at sweet melon. Flavor is sweet citrus, melon and stone fruit. Notes of melon, peach, orange and pineapple. Soft, supple mouthfeel. Juicy notes. Tasty.

Can. Pours a orange golden hue with a medium white head. A big sweet perfume and citrus nose. Pretty sweet, tropical citrus, mango. Smooth.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear bright copper with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice pine note with touches of grass and onion and a light grain backbone. Flavor has lots of pine with hints of onion and citrus supporting.

Draught at the brewery, 11/7/15.
Foamy white head tops a drab bronze body with good clarity and modest retention to the head.
Hop notes get in a few jabs before being knocked out by heavy-handed diacetyl. So the stonefruits are all dunked in butter and it dosent make for much of an experience. Sadly, the flavor is very heavily dominated by it as well. Heavy butter with an oily texture, moderate carbonation and decent attenuation. 3/4/3/2/7
Draught at Ballard Beer Co, 8/17/16. Listed as 7.5% but that’s almost certainly wrong as nothing I can find says they’ve reproduced the original version.
Ahhh, much better and in fact, quite nice. No diacetyl this time and while the mosaic share space with cascade and other orange/piney hops, there’s still a lovely apricot-nectarine character from the mosaic, very bright, yet soft. Biscuity malts behind are very sparse.
Softly juicy in the flavor department, with apricot-peach transitioning to spicy orange while juicy pine adds more depth and green flavor. Soft, but very dry malt profile nonetheless provides enough depth to balance.

Draft pour at Lucky Envelope, recommended to me by Mcberko. Pours an oily golden color with an active fizz head. Weird vegetal like aroma. Flavor is like a spoiled hop flavor, if such thing exists. Flavor is tropical fruity up front, but finishes rough. Okay beer i guess. I doesnt taste like a horrible beer, but it just seems like like something went wrong here. No offense mosaic hops, I still love you. Maybe the name 2.0 was a prediction of their rating on this beer to come.

On tap at Lucky Envelope, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out diacetyl, boiled cabbage and some tropical fruit. Flavour is nasty, with boiled vegetables and diacetyl. This is totally messed up. Why would you sell this?
