Hazy pale ale with cryo Mosaic hops.

The immediate future is most definitely hazy. What we do know is that there will be a textured and juicy pale ale bringing massive Mosaic hop aromas of blueberries, blackberries, pineapple and grape jelly.

16 fl oz. can, looks like canned 09/27/2022, which makes me late to the party. I don't recall if I've tried this outing from Pipeworks before, this one a "Hazy Pale Ale with Cryo Mosaic Hops" sounds like familiar, albeit delicious territory we're about to enter. This will be my 182nd beer from Pipeworks. How far we've come.

Poured to a Duvel tulip.
A: Looks excellet, though not what I would call "Hazy" or "New England style", definitely lacking the pulpy orange juice appearance that those beers carry, what we do have is a delicious looking, lightly electric yellow tinged American IPA goodness. Finger of frothy soapy head, has some decent retention, falls to a bubbly surface skimming.
S: Aroma is fresh & floral. Soapy, with light notes of citrus, orange.
T: Taste follows, super delicious, fresh, & floral tasting. I love the flowery taste of Mosaic, lightly piney hop bitterness, not overly resinous.
F: Feel is smooth, crisp, clean. Super easy-drinking / borderline quenching stuff, with a modest 6.20% abv.

Overall, another excellent IPA creation from Pipeworks, these guys have always known their way around a No Coast style ipa / pale and this one is no exception.

From the last tall boy of a 4-pack into the trusty la fin du monde tulip. Kind of 3/4 of the way to hazy and a 1 finger loose bubbly ivory crown. Nose is faint green tart citrus, and a little bit of dry herbal and grassy note. Taste Carrie’s to nose forward, though the citrus becomes more clearly tangerine and juicy papaya

Pours a slightly hazed & effervescent gold with a pinky eggshell colored head. Above average head retention & lacing

S: Lots of citrus & a little grassyness

T: Oranges, dryness, papaya, green melon & a little lime up front. Oranges, a little lime & guava as this beer warms up, plus some dryness & a little pineapple. Finishes dry with sweet orange. a little green melon & guava

MF: Medium body, fairly lively carbonation, nice balance

Crushable, nice flavor, a little more complexity & body is needed to take it next level

This is a hazy APA the comes in at 6%. I liked the aroma, lots of berry including blackberry, blueberries and some red grape too. There was definitely some pineapple in the taste and the taste dissipated pretty quickly. I do appreciate that this was not too heavy or overly sweet.

I tried a can of this beer at the doghouse while in the 'Wego visiting old friends and neighbors. It was poured into a red solo cup and it was dark out...but it looked like it poured a hazy golden with white head. The scent had fresh fruit hops with bold tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright citrus presence and subtle fruit peel finish. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Single pint copped from Bottle King in Livingston. Pours a bright golden hue with maximum frothing. Assertive aroma replete with hints of green apples and poached pear. Similar overall flavor profile with a noticeably sweet finish. Not bad.

Very light straw yellow, with beautiful white lacing and head. Light citrus smell, with cloud orange/grapefruit/lemon flavor. Overall a great beer. Try it if you find it.
