Hazy Pale Ale with Citra, Mosaic, and Cryo Mosaic hops.
This smooth, multi faceted pale ale sustains a hop aroma with incredible resiliency. It's a juicy, smooth hazy, puffed up with oat malt and deep waves of marmalade, jasmine, blackberry, and pink lemonade flavors thanks to the combo of Citra, Mosaic, and Cryo Mosaic hops. This beautiful hop aroma just doesn't quit.

Mild tropicality, but predominant citrus with a subdued hop bitterness and a smooth, refreshing finish. Definitely a solid hazy pale ale.

Pours a hazed gold with a pinky of beige head. Above average head retention & lacing
S: Tropical fruits, citrus in abundance
T: Nectarine, pineapple, oranges, a little passion fruit & dryness up front. Pomelo, green melon & passion fruit as this beer warms up, a touch of mango as well. Finishes juicy with pineapple, guava & a little green melon, plus some dryness
MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, nice balance
Really enjoyed this, a nice balance of sweetness & juicyness, going into the rotation, as long as its fresh

One of the best smelling beers I've had in a while. Other than that it's your standard above-average offering from Pipeworks. Pick this up if you get the chance.

Pours an opaque, thick yellow haze into an imperial pint glass. Solid head, moderate lacing. It's pretty. I get guava, tropical, banana in the nose. Mouthfeel not as heavy as one would expect--the carbonation gives a happy buzzy mouthfeel. Flavorful. Like really packs a punch of sweet tropical vs pine resin. But not cloying, not overpowering. Papaya in a pine forest. I love this stuff. It's so good I don't want two in a row, just so I don't become inured to its wonderfulness. I'm a Chicagoan, a pipeworks fan, regularly stocking up on their newest offerings whenever I go to Trader Joe's. Keep an eye out for this one. Pipeworks hits it out of the park again. I'd give it all straight 5's but I just don't do that.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of mango, guava, pineapple, orange and sweet caramel notes. It tasted very fruity with toasted caramel with a piney bitterness.
