Mountains come out of the sky for the premiere of this IIPA: Straight up apricot + dankness + citrus sweetness. Triple dry-hopped. Brewed with a unique Oregon honey and vanilla for added dimension and smooth lushness. This brew will make you out 'n' out.

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose - oranges and grapefruit stand out in particular - along with hints of honey.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of citrusy hops along with notes of vanilla (mainly in the finish) and hints of honey. There is a moderate amount of carbonation.
M: It feels medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found the addition of honey and vanilla to be a unique twist on this IPA.
Serving type: can

Perfectly fine brew—which means at $7 a can, Singlecut has made better than this. It’s serviceable and certainly drinkable...a little too sweet maybe...bites you quick then disappears in a flash...extra dry finish...a positive “meh” from the kings of the overpriced single.

A: Poured from the can into a Piraat tulip/snifter-type glass. Body is hazy dark golden with a half-finger of white head. I will remember you; your silhouette will charge the view.
S: Honey is clearly noted, along with some tropical fruit of the sweeter variety: papaya, mango.
T: Follows the nose, with sweet honey-malt foundation. Followed by a touch of ripe tropical fruit: melon, mango, papaya. Heat from the ABV is felt in the belly but not evident on the palate. Drink too many of these, and we stand to lose all time, a thousand answers by in our hand.
M: Call it morning - err, medium in heft. Carbonation is modest, leading to a slightly oily/slick feel.
O: Mountains come out of the sky. And they stand there. Which, I suppose, is a roundabout way of saying I like this beer, but it doesn't really impress me. Too sweet for my preferences, though clearly they were shooting for that result given the honey added.

Pours an opaque, slightly dull gold tangerine with a moderate white head; decent retention and thin but plentiful lacing.
Aromas of fresh orange juice, guava, mango lassi, and wet moss; light herbal, dank notes come through consistently; faintly creamy with a touch of honeyed sweetness toward the finish.
Taste brings hoppy peach, mango, and grapefruit into the fold, with earthy honey-glazed graham cracker and dank herbal tones on the back end.
Mouthfeel shows a sturdy medium body with plenty of underlying hoppiness and excellently balanced carbonation that fades perfectly into the hop prickle; just a slight bit syrupy, but a surprising dryness is what accompanies the danker elements toward the finish.
A nice job incorporating the subtler elements of honey into this one, serving to enhance and never overwhelming the base IPA. There’s a quite a bit going on here, and it can feel messy at times, but the overall product is solid, enjoyable, and full of flavor.
