Super hazy and deep copper coloured body with a pure amber glow and a nice three centimetre tall tan head that lasts for quite a while on top. Aroma of pungent citrusey and lightly resinous hop notes with some grass and perfume as well, all with a small amount of alcohol peeping around the edges and a dose of more yeastie and biscuity malts as well. Medium-bodied; Assertive biscuity and yeast flavours at first with a big dose of citrus and resin along with a nice dry, yet bitter flavour showing some malts as well, a tiny bit of sugar and a mellow yet flavourful punch from the yeast. Aftertaste shows the hops front and centre of course with a nice citrus and resin kick that has a touch of alcohol around and a good balance from the biscuity and yeastie malt flavours, but well balanced, structured and still complex on the end, mainly from the hops. Overall, a nice and respectable IPA that focuses on the Mosaic varietal in a good way - a nice way to sample this hop in a well-balanced beer with a good deal of complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bryant Park, West 42nd Street), New York on 11-March-2018 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 03-April-2018 less than a month later.

An odd beast like Tom Waits. Hazy amber pour with ok head (cask). Some moaaic resin but not much fruit here. Clean finish. Not a lot here. Cask at Ginger Man.
