Same deal as the columbus + mosaic brew, 3 variants of hop dosing but this time we used our super popular yeast strain found in the likes of blue shell, forbidden dreams, the hall of truth ect.... A Tropical, citrus, dank explosion! Again, lets leave it to your tastebuds!!

Copenhagen 2/7 2020. 47,3 cl can from Best of Beers web-shop. Very pink can with two small hop flowers made out to be small skulls one seemingly getting splattered.
Pours hazy, milky, opaque yellow with big, white head. Settles as thin, frothy but uneven, lumpy layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Massive lacing.
Aroma is intense with a modest sweet odor of exotic fruit and a somewhat stronger, citric odor. Peach, oranges and pineapple. Citrus and grape fruit.
Light carbonation. Soft, smooth, medium thick, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a light sweetness followed by a strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is citric and bitter. Lingers fora while. Semi-dry finish.
Extremely juicy and adequately bitter NEIPA. And smooth and soft as Hell.

Very nice fresh NE style IPA, great flavors and mouthfeel. 4/17/20 date printed on can. Looks great, hazy lighter yellow color with some fluffy white head and small scant sheets of lingering lacing that persisted. Smells of fresh ripe orange, pineapple, grapefruit, guava and passion fruit. Also some malt, creamy vanilla, bread and fainter floral hops. Taste follows the nose, great balance and depth, good juiciness, smooth slightly sticky soft mouthfeel with great carbonation. Surprisingly outstanding!

Gorgeous thick and hazy bright yellow with a pearl white head and thick lacing. Smell is playfully dank with bright orange, lime, lemon, pineapple with grass hops. Taste follows, hop bitters are very mild but not dry, fruits from nose, especially lemon and pineapple lead, add some melon and lychee too, more resinous than smell. Feel is very bright, hazy, and crushable, but hops don't shape as much as desired.

Poured from a 16oz can into a Guinness pub glass.
Look is a very light bright yellow with a frothy white head.
Aroma is super herbal bright lemongrass.
Taste is bright lemon peel.
