16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, melon, pear, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, melon, pear, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, melon, pear, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/sticky/grainy, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Slight rinds. Zero warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the mellow bitterness/dryness. Nice hop vibrancy without being too malty. This claims to have all Mosaic hops. They don’t taste like them at all, but this was still very enjoyable all around.

16 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, pear, ginger, coriander, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical hops, spices, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. A little too strong on the spices in the aromas, but not overwhelming. Taste of big lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, pear, ginger, coriander, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; slight tart/tangy wheat. Lingering notes of lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, pear, ginger, coriander, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical hops, spices, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and lightly creamy/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is a very good hoppy witbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical hops, spices, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. The citrusy hops compliment the spices and yeast notes really well. A very enjoyable offering.
