Double Dry Hopped Oat IPA with Mosaic and Cryo Mosaic hops. A secret we can not keep: this variant of Velocity of Light is gorgeously flush with Mosaic hops, waves of blueberry and pine echo throughout each sip of this creamy IPA.

Another absolute jewel from Pipeworks. Their Oatbased IPAs are fantastic. This one is on par with Velocity of Light, maybe one notch below but still worth seeking out.

L: Beautifully cloudy pale pineapple juice in appearance with a short foamy head with decent retention and clumpy lacing.
S: Hot with a powerful strong smell
rain-wet stone (or concrete). It’s pleasant and accompanied by alcohol, florals, and only a touch of tropical fruits eeking in there.
T: Wet stone again with tastes of underripe pineapples, a touch of that mosaic dank, and some oranges.
F: A great weight, right on the mark, and reasonably dry and carbonated. Splendid.
O: Tasted that rainy day quality before but not to this impressive extent. This is an original brew with a lot going for it. So glad I got two!

16oz can served in a big snifter. I'm not sure, but I think the date on it is 06/28/19.
Pours very hazy, pale yellow, medium head, lots of carbonation. Smell is mango and citrus rind.
Taste is juicy with a resinous finish. Fairly bitter.
Mouthfeel is resinous, medium bodied. Overall, very good.
