A more session-able approach to our Juice Above the Clouds. We’ve added a touch of rolled oats for a pillowy soft mouthfeel. Loads of Cashmere and Mosaic attribute to the intense aromas and flavors of pineapple and guava.

Very disgustingly sweet. It feels like baby vomit got caught in the keg. I wish I could get a refund, but I bought two of these crap cans! This is horrifically bad! I’ll need more beer to wash this down!

Can to becher pint glass.
The appearance was a fairly thin yet bright translucent yellow color softly dissipating. The head seemed to be more bubbly than foamy. Not much lace.
The aroma had some chipped sweet onion, some sweet pineapple with a semi-twisted slightly tangy guava whiff. Smooth clean malts.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side carrying a clean balance between the fruits, the oniony hoppiness and the crackery malts. Semi-crackery aftertaste with some onion, guava and ever so small touch of pineapple.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Some dryness but quaint. Some soft touches on my tongue. Finishes semi-crisp with some dryness and guava-like skin semi-tartness.
Overall, I'd say a pretty nicely done American IPA worthy to come back to.

Great beer. Lovely aroma when you open up the can. Great citrus notes and an easy beer to enjoy. Great beer and goes down great. Leaves a slight bitter note that goes away fast.

Fresh can. ~2 weeks old.
Clear amber. White fluffy head.
Stone fruits, tropical fruits. Little bitterness. A little dank.
Medium to thin bodied.
Pretty good but not very memorable.
Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever be a vasco girl.

Very light yellow color. Smell is light, not getting to much in my sniffer. Taste is hoppy and lingers. Summer fruit flavors like, melon and pineapple. Easy drinker, good summer beer.

Modest finger of off-white foam, sizzles off rapidly without much lacing. Clear, spotless golden liquid, plenty of larger, lazy bubbles. Fresh and openly knit nose, tea leaf, pine sap, unprocessed grains, melon, peach, pear to guava scents, more steady than flamboyant, ends with a punch of firm dankness. Medium-bodied, extremely smooth and fluid, glides through the mouth. Not particularly dry nor sweet, treads the middle ground well. More peach, apricot, melon here without a lot of tropical bite. Tangerine citrus and florality more than pine, just pretty and crushable. Light doughy notes and then quinine, mineral water before finally a sweeter honeyed touch. Benefits from the lack of flash as well as overall integration, you chug it so swiftly it’s hard to analyze. Could pound 2-3 without even thinking about it.
