This beer was brewed with a massive addition of Galaxy, Eclipse, Comet, and Southern Star hops in the whirlpool, then fermented cold with a German lager yeast strain, and finally double dry hopped with even more of the same hops. The flavour profile is crisp and refreshing with an intensely hop forward aroma and flavour consisting of citrus, melon, pine, and tropical fruit.

Another boring nondescript collab, as most collabs seem to be. Nothing good, nothing bad

Poured from 473mL can. Slightly hazy blonde gold with white head. Generic malt and hop profile, hint of grass. A bit muddy. Perhaps this is an older can (no date stamp).

Hazy pale blond colour, medium head. Delicate aroma, some piney resins, some grass. Lean mouthfeel, not too dry, with mild crackery malt base, but it's clean, and moderate hopping; touch of candied pineapple.
I had more vibrant Cold IPAs, but this one is also decent.

Pale gold, just a slight haze. Thin head. There’s not much character here – some mossy hops, surprisingly low bitterness, and the malts are a touch gloppy. This did not ferment out enough, and nothing really lands well here.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grassy, herbal and piney hops, with a bit of resinous hop oils, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is clean and crisp, with a nice piney hops character upfront, along with grass, a bit of resinous oils, and biscuity malt. Clean and with good expression from the hops. Not the most interesting IPA, but it's a nice break from all the hazy crap.
