A; slight haze; medium gold in color; 1 finger ivory head that receded to a wispy cap; nice lacing;
S: pineapple, orange, and mango;
T: orange and lemon - balanced at first, with the lemon becoming dominant toward the finish; some mint in the background throughout;
M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;
O: well made, but I personally don't care for the flavor profile;

Poured from a tallboy can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Hazed light golden pour with thick foamy white head. Outstanding lacing.
S: Tropicals and citrus. Yummy hops.
T/F: Citrus and fruit... tropical forward with pineapple and mango. Sweet up front with modest bitterness... lighter citrus in the background... tangerine, grapefruit, and orange rind. Sticky on the tongue. Lightly floral at the finish.
O: A decent hazy IPA. Good drinkability... good flavor. Nothing crazy but overall very well done.

Poured from a can dated 8/24, just shy of one month old.
Smell and taste are indeed bursting with tropical hop flavors. Along with lemon citrus and tropical bubble gum, I get a curious impression of strawberry ice cream.
Feels moderately soft and medium body, with a light prickly carbonation.
A tasty NE style IPA, glad I picked it up!

From a can. Poured into nonic pint. Rapidly fading head. Thin bodied and just in general. Hits you with a tangy lemonadey Zip on the finish. But also a bit dry. Kind of one note. Probly wouldn't get again. I've definitely had much better from Relic. It's all tartness with nothing to match or support it.

Cloudy light golden color with a 3F head in a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Vanilla, fruit aroma especially when warmed up.
The body is a bit thin, and there could be more carbonation.
Fruit taste- a little weird, difficult to identify the flavors. I am not tasting the fruity flavors from either Mosaic or El Dorado.
Finish- not too hoppy.
I have enjoyed the brewery's beers- this is not one of my favorites.
Leaf Storm is in another class. An excellent IPA. This beer doesn't compare.

16 oz can into wine goblet. No date.
Look is cloudy golden yellow. Smell is sweet tropical fruit lead by orange. Taste follows nose and stays sweet throughout, little grapefruit at end. Feel is medium creamy. Overall this is a very nice NE IPA nice and juicy and sweet. Would drink again if they brew it.
