Special Lady Friend is very special indeed, an all Mosaic hazy IPA which results from the culmination of experience gained through the last year or so of thoughtful experimentation with varied yeasts, hops, and procedural techniques. Originating from a sturdy base of 2-row, white wheat, and flaked oats, Special Lady Friend boasts a purified expression of Mosaic, given that Mosaic lupulin constitutes 50% of the dry hop by weight. Overripe pineapple, candied orange, and the fresh essence of blueberry dominate the nose, while the palate experience melds into a pithy melange of tropical fruit, ultimately resulting in a dry, yet soft, elegant finish. Cheers!

Grapefruit and pineapple. Nice balance here. Pretty well done. Murky yellow pour with decent head. Hop tang finish with light bitterness, some pineapple crisp bitterness. Can.

Can. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops. The flavor is a good hop bitterness right at the start and a good malt support that plays well to the finish. Well balanced, nice find.

Hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish single to two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of grass, metal, light grain, biscuits, citrus, grapefruit, a dose of pine and a touch of sweet curacao at the very end. Medium-bodied; Rich deep fruity flavour at frist that shows all the citrus, especially the grapefruit with a smooth and balanced malt, bite all with some metal, grass and floral hop profile, with a dose of sugars at the tail end which show more of caster sugar than fruit-based sweetness. Aftertaste shows a proper balance with a smooth, but pungent hop bitterness at the end that blends well with some wheat and the very subdued malt notes - nice and easy drinking throughout. Overall, a nice hazy IPA with a light floral bite, but most of the complexity comes from the fruits, the light wheat and malts, but only a touch of bitterness at the end from flowers. Nice to sampled this, a good option for folks to try in and around the area. I sampled this twelve ounce can purhcased from Total Wine in Towson, Maryland on 27-May-2019 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Wsahington on 20-June-2019.
