Can thanks to AJ. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is melon, mango, floral. Slick body, juicy, melon, citrus, papaya, light bitterness, very good.

Poured from pull off top can thanks Stacey, hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt, resin, citrus pith. Taste is lemon, grapefruit pith, slightly sweet light hops mild finish.

16 oz. can, thank you Stacey. old-school pull off top / tab on the can.Aroma shows citrus, mild pine. The flavor is kind a mix of pine and fruit. Chewy texture. Carbonated high. Mild pine like bitterness. Ok, not overly impressed. Willing to try more from this brewery.

On tap at Kaiser Tiger Chicago. Turbid orange colour no head. Big tropical fruit aroma. It's a big mango passionfruit orange ipa with little bitterness. Some dankness comes through. It's decent enough. Looks like fruit juice. Hilarious but good as well .

On tap at Pizzeria Uno Chicago. Hazy gold orange colour lasting white head. Some tangerine flavour. Some tropical fruit aroma. A little thin in the body. Some bitterness on the finish. OK got better as it went on .

A hazed blonde ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light citrus and apricot floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical, nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with citrusy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, very nice. Can at dark lord day 2018.

12oz can. A really nice Amber Ale. Mosaic peach/mango tones meld interestingly with the cherry/vanilla tones of the amber malt. Medium bodied, very easy drinking. Really nails the style and updates it too. Lots of depth for the moderate ABV. This might be my favorite 6pack Amber I can think of at the moment. Really good.

American style amber ale hopped with Mosaic, thanks SterV for sharing the can. Medium thick, irregular, off-white, tightly 'papery' lacing head over a hazy amberish beer with pale orangey hue. Aroma of fresh green pine needles and spruce shoots (a lot more piney than what I normally expect from Mosaic), biscuit, caramel candy, orange peel, apricot jam, yellow raisins, young cheese, dried mango. Sweetish onset, hinting at peach, fig and apricot, light sourish tocuh, soft carbonation, smooth and slick, proportionally quite full mouthfeel. Lightly biscuity and butterscotch-coloured malt sweet middle, smoothly leading to a piney, grapefruity and orangey hop character, nicely aromatic retronasally and spicy bitter in the tail. Nothing out of the ordinary to modern American craft beer standards, just a lot more pine- and spruce-like than I am used to from Mosaic hopped ales, but in any case very well made.

IPA from a small Illinois craft brewery - a very modern and quite experimental take on the NEIPA hype apparently, trying to evoke the flavour of a piña colada. Thanks to SterV for the can - which opens over the whole surface of the top, first time I see this... Thinnish, egg-white, large-bubbled head, moussy layers of lacing, over a completely cloudy 'egg yolk yellow' beer. Aroma is heavily laden with explicit pineapple juice as a very dominant factor, but coconut milk is noticeable as well, so that the overall effect indeed resembles a piña colada; subtler notes of lime, mango, lychee, soggy white bread, dough and sweat too. Sweet pineapple juice dominates the onset, with mango- or papaja-like aspects to it as well; sourish lime undercurrent, but very softly so. Fluffy mouthfeel, creamy, with low carbonation; doughy malt sweet middle, drenched in this heavy pineapple juice sweetness. Some coconut appears retronasally - fortunately I love coconut aromas - and the sweetness lingers without becoming too sticky, balanced by the sourish lime-like factor. Ends sweet, but with a gentle but decidedly citrusy hop bitter punch amidst the sweetness. Seen the typical properties of New England style IPA, it should be no surprise that this new beer (sub?)style leads to even more fruit juice-like things like this - in that sense, this is less exotic perhaps than it may seem. Bit of a one-trick pony, but if the intention was to make a beer that smells and tastes like piña colada without the liquor, then clearly this mission has been accomplished brilliantly here. You will need to adore both pineapple and coconut for this one, though.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of coffee, nuttiness, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, lactose, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of coffee, nuttiness, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/spicy hop and roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, toasted dark/brown bread, light coffee/nuttiness, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, lactose, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, creamy, silky, and lightly velvety mouthfeel that is awesome. Slight hop stickiness, chalky roast, and dryness. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious milk stout! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, lactose, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the very mildly bitter/drying finish. Great well rounded stout complexity, with nice richness for the low ABV. It was over-carbonated, but actually felt a lot smoother/silkier because if it. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
