Fresh 32oz growler shared 9/22/17 by Stacey, thanks!
Borderline soupy, maize-amber-golden, with a small, white head showing moderate-to-low retention.
Grapefruit, lime, mango and light pine all play nicely together and the peach is folded nicely in, as well, and I doubt you'd pick it out blind, thinking it just another hop note. Sparse malting shows light cracker and bread while a touch of resin builds up on the finish, though nothing major. With warming and breathing more soft, succulent, juicy lime-mango emerges.
Juicy up front with papaya, peach, graperfruit, lime and mango notes all prominent. Very dry and even a bit thin through the middle, on account of the very sparse malt. Peach sugar adds back some sweetness and warming exposes more softness. Very juicy, fruity, flavorful DIPA without much resin. Bitterness is ample and there is lots of citrus, but it plays nicely, for the most part. Engaging carbonatino, no flaw or alcohol noted.

Fresh 32oz growler shared 9/22/17.
Bright, fiery, copper-amber-golden with a light haze, having seemingly settled out quite a bit in the fridge. White head atop is small-to-medium-sized and slowly falls to cover.
Mousey/earthy/funky, sort of weird hop notes in the nose perhaps show wet cat or some other undesirable hop notes; though it's not a major note. Unfortunately, behind it, is mostly pine resin, sharp and strong with a lingering boozy finish, as well. Grainy malts do nothing to soften/balance this.
Sharp and bitter in the mouth with high acidity, tons of resin and unripened pineapple-like character. Astringent with rather loose carbonation, to boot. Malt is way to sparse and provides no reprieve from this assault. Lingering strong resin. Almost nothing enjoyable here.

Growler drunk 9/22/17.
Thoroughly hazy, copper-hued golden with a small but firm white head atop.
Another good Mosaic IPA! Wow, that's quite a few recently. Nectarine, papaya, leafy, green, vegetal, fresh fruitiness and moderate juiciness all mix with a light honey-like malt base, balancing easily and showing little/no resin or pine on the finish and low alcohol. No flaws either.
Juicy and lightly bitter with some grapefruit and other various citrus, but predominantly nectarine, mango and fresh, lightly spicy, juicy fruit character. Soft texture, good attenuation and tight carbonation make for a very drinkable DIPA that shows almost no resin and no alcohol on the finish.

Tap at New England Brewing Company, New Haven. Colour is cloudy orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Fruits, some pineapple, hops and malts. Pretty basic. Some strange earthy elements in aftertaste so can't give good points
