L: dark amber with a 3 finger fuzzy off qhite head lots of lacing good retention that leaves a finger width cap good carbonation streams

T: bitter sweet taste but the citrus lingers in the mouth very well more sweet lingering than bitterness strong alcohol taste when it hits the tongue
F: heavy low carbonation thick light dryness on the tongue

 

This beer is the best I've come across. I only wish the places to buy it were more than a 1 to a few

 

 

A: The beer is slightly hazy in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation along with faint hints of amber hues. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of stone fruit are present in the nose along with hints of mangos and oranges.
T: The taste follows the smell but has even stronger flavors of stone fruit along with hints of citrus and tropical fruit.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA is very fruity and doesn't haven much of bitterness or a malty base.

Serving type: can

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a clear light brass with largish head that gives nice lacing. I wouldn't have guessed mosaic from the nose, but has some nice mixed summer fruit along with the suggestion this will have a considerable malt backbone. Yep, the caramel malt in the nose is evident in the flavor...definitely on the malty side for what's in these days. Personally, I like it even if it is a bit sweet for me. Overall, a pretty good beer and a nice random find. Not sure what the agave is adding to this...I expect not much.

 

 

Dated 9/14/2017, so you have to take into account that it is almost 6 months old. Pours a hazy golden color with a thin foamy head. Head retention is mild. Lacing is good. Aroma is standard on what you would get with an old IPA. Many of the hops have faded. More earthy. Can detect some tropical fruit and slight pine. There is a certain smoothness, almost creamy, to the taste. The piney bitterness is there. Most of the rest of the flavor hops have faded, but you can detect some tropical fruit in the background. Closer to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
