Clean golden color. The aroma is mildly dank and musky, maybe a note of butter too, but it doesn’t disturb. The malt base is in between modern and classic, light colored caramel, very light bread, maybe some other cereals; strong bitterness, the hopping is resiny, some orange oils, a bit harsh eventually.
Good beer, like a Dead Frog IPA, to set the expectations.

Cloudy orange-blond color, with small head. Nice aroma of Stone fruits and mango, and a hint of smoke. Lean body, off-dry, but it seems sweeter because the bitterness is not very strong, while the hopping as usual brings very juicy fruitiness, and a good amount of soft resins; delicate pale malt, traces of smoke, mild alcohol warmth. Compared to other IIPAs, the final is shorter.
In line with other Boombox juicy beers, because of its strength and probably higher bitterness I find this one very drinkable and less cloying.
Excellent.

Tasting with Alex, Brian and George. Growler from the Callister (thx, Alex!). Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma is very raw (kind of cave), with piney notes. Taste is piney bitterness. Not bad.

Hazy blond color. Nice animal hop aroma, that’s the Mosaic, with some citrus.Dry mouthfeel, yet bold; delicate flavor of crisp malts, followed by extremely piney hops, a bit dank; I’m sure the 2 weeks in the fridge cured it a bit. Very nice.

Hazy and a bit dull. Thin head. Tropical, slightly, hop nose. Muddled with yeast issues, stewed fruit, the hops are a bit of a mess, finishes ok but the malts are a bit soupy. Basically muddled, overripe, and a touch ropey.

Red and brown color, small head. Nice aroma of fermented backberries. Good body strength; aggressive acidity, fruity, a bit too much acetic acid, tart and astringent; the fruity component goes from mix berries to some cherries. As delicate as a punch in the face, but with some good traits and no flaws.

Draft - Peach skin, not sweet and an herbal medicinal note. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Stone fruit and some earthy yeasty notes. Fruity is not sweet or overly dominant, but it also doesn’t enhance the style/beer for me.

Draft - Very juicy citrus and some stone fruit. Cleanish gold with a decent white head. Citrus, touch of funk, vanilla and bitterness, juicy notes don’t really translate to the taste with the bitterness.

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is wonderfully dank, with lots of piney hops, some tropical fruitiness and a slight herbal quality. Flavour is very pungent and dry, with lots of piney and dank hops upfront, with a pronounced herbal quality and finishing rather floral. Quite assertive in the astringency on the finish, but in a very tasteful way. Very nice stuff.

Growler - Chilli, boozy, chocolate and almost vodka notes. Jet brown black with a small brown head. Dark chocolate, big dark malts and pepper notes. There is an alcohol oddness I am getting, but I think it is a personal thing.
