Can. Pours a slightly hazy light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has melon and citrus up front with a bit of grass and a hint of citrus rind supporting. Flavor has citrus rind with a growing papaya and a bit of melon and grass in the finish.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 15, 2019 that lists the abv as 6.5%. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with mango, guava, passion fruit, citrus and some resin notes. Light stone fruit esters and cracker malt notes. Pours a hazy, dull, dirty gold stars color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a light cracker malt note. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes with mango, guava and passion fruit followed by lighter citrus and resin notes. Hints of stone fruit esters. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice hazy mosaic IPA. I feel like it may be missing a little something (maybe hop complexity) and I'm not sure I appreciate the presence of the esters, but it's a nice beer and a good representation of one of my favorite hops.
