The Intergalactic League of Farmers waits for no man, even with a crop as delicate as bubbles. Elegant crops, of course, and no matter the trouble in harvesting them it’s always worthwhile to see those beauties shine. Light in color with a touch of haze, this American IPA maintains an approachable medium-body without sacrificing any of the full aroma and flavor of copious dry hopping additions of Simcoe, Azacca, and Idaho 7 hops.

Can at the Beervana Carnival, 2018, Bangkok. Poured a hazy golden colour with a thin white head and.a few bubbles. The aroma is malt, light citrus, dry, light floral hop and some initial bubble gum. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, fresh fruity, dry woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. The fresh fruity bubble gum character didn’t last long after the air got to the beer.

Can/Fest. A- Citrus. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Citrus, pine. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Easy to drink even for a non-ipa drinker. The name makes me think it's gonna be bubble gum flavored but thank goodness it's not. Solid ipa that's not very bitter.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/13/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, fairly crisp, and lightly resinous/rindy balance mouthfeel that is great. No warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Very classic tasting IPA. Feels like Columbus, Centennial, Amarillo, and Simcoe. Great balance of juicy, dank, and earthy hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, mild residual sweetness with lingering bitter dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is hazy, light orange/dark yellow with minimal sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and fair, sudsy lacing. Aroma is mango and citrus over bready malt base. Taste is moderately sweet stone fruit mixed with resin bitterness over biscuit. Palate is medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, neither the aroma nor the taste are all that complex and taste doesn't quite live up to the aroma.
