What’s this? An intriguing disguise to tempt and delight-that’s my surprise. If you crave a dank treat and others don’t lure, you’re already discovered the hoppy cure. Spiced with Simcoe, El Dorado, mosaic and the Ghost of Ted.

Poured from a can into a snifter. Pours orange yellow with a small fluffy head. Smells of citrus and piney hops. Tastes of citrus hops with nice tropical notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Pours a pale hazy yellow with a creamy one finger head that leaves lots of lacing. Smells of citrus zest, peach, mango and melon. Tastes of peach gummy rings, tangerine, grapefruit zest and melon. Medium body with medium carbonation, foamy mouthfeel and crisp finish

Picked up as part of a mixed sixer from the Ingles Highland Lakes cooler 6-9-22 for $2.00. Best by 7-31-22; consumed 9-21-22.
Beer poured clear golden with a very nice white head that has some hang time.
Nose has hints of tropical fruit but nothing overly pungent.
Taste is a nice light pale malt base that is hopped with a pleasant combo of mango, peach, and orange. Finishes with a nice bitterness; 7/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel is light bodied and very refreshing.
Overall a nice ipa that i would have again!

I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club pack. It poured a slightly hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had apricot and stone fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with apricot, pineapple, and stone fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

pours almost- hazy light golden yellow, dense white head is sturdy and full
bright tropical notes and light dank notes fill the air - hops galore
smooth lightly sweet-tart and similar-to-nose fruit hop flavor, bitterness is there, but like a ghost. light alcohol warmth in the belly, very subtle caramel note is really too subtle, but it's a lighter, hop forward beer, and a damn good one.
velvety but not pulpy and I love it. Classic Asheville party ipa at 7%, Trickster will kick your ass while you contemplate the uniqueness/weirdness of it - and you will like it. Think of it like a harlequin suit.
