India Pale Ale with Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, Cryo Citra, Cryo Mosaic and Cryo Simcoe.

Moon landing? C'mon. Let's talk about the REAL conspiracy here. Those magical creatures we all "know" and love are merely surveillance drones sent to spy on human kind. Sketchy to say the least.

Unicorns may not be real, but this hyper fresh IPA most definitely is. Big Foot sized additions Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops make you scratch your head and question everything you've thought to be true. Fresh citrus, sun ripened stone fruit and muddled berry notes take control in this one.

My brother lives in Florida. He was in town the last two weeks and sent me a photo of this one when he had it at a local restaurant while I have not had it before.

Presents to me as a dank piney old school IPA. Clear gold color. Piney and resiny scents and taste, slightly dank, mild citrus presence. Crisp, clean, medium bodied, dry finish. Tasty, better than rated.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of bready malt, caramel, citrus, and piney notes. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp, piney bitterness.
