Can at Black Christmas 2018
Cloudy golden colour. Nice farmhouse aroma, and fruity. The flavour is a similar blend of farmhouse character and juice.
Very good.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is a delicious hazy IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestely bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Feels like Simcoe/Amarillo mostly. Very juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice wheat/oat/malt backbone, minimal residual sweetness from lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma seems a bit oxidized, with earthy hops, light pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour is much fresher, with piney hops, earthy notes and citrus tang. Doesn't seem that vibrant, but it's juicily citrusy. Good.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours fairly hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention and reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, honey, rye, and white bread dough; with light notes of banana, clove, musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy/light funky yeast, citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate rye/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, honey, rye, and white bread dough; with light notes of banana, clove, musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and peppery yeast/rye spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, honey, rye, white bread dough, light banana/clove/funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy/light funky yeast, citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate rye/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and yeast/rye spiciness balance; with minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and yeast/rye spiciness. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins/rinds after the finish. Mildly increasing warmth of 9.1% after the finish. Overall this is an awesome Belgian DIPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy/light funky yeast, citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate rye/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Great Mosaic/Idaho 7 showcase. Awesome juicy and fairly dank/earthy hops, with balanced Saison/Brett yeast complexity; nice bready rye/oat/malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness from lingering bitter/spicy dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
