Pours bright, hazy blond with a chunky, frothy head that dissipates pretty quickly but drapes the glass in foam chunks. The aroma is of pineapple, white grapes, berries. The taste is a rich wall of juicy, citrusy, tropical hops with mango, apricot, pineapple and other fruit in abundance. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with perfect levels of creamy carbonation and pleasant hop cotton mouth. The finish is medium to high in bitterness with lots of lingering tropical hop flavor.
This is a fantastic IPA. Loaded with dank, juicy hop flavors. A must try if you can get it.

I thought it was great! Nice color, resinous nose, piney with some funk.. Taste is mostly bitter not overly tropical like I see the other reviews saying

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on January 5, 2020. IPA 12's juicy bouquet showcases the best of New Zealand’s Nelson Sauvin hops, married with American Mosaic. Notes of crushed gooseberry, white grapes, red berries and blueberries. Dry hopped at an abundant rate of 16 grams per litre.

473ml can - I wish that I could say that I've had an even dozen of this series, but alas I cannot. Moving on then.
This beer pours a tarnished, pale golden yellow colour, with two skinny fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and weakly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some randomly strewn paramecia 'pattern' lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, subtle uric acid, and some heady leafy, weedy, and dank piney green hoppiness. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, lemon and red grapefruit citrus peel, crushed white wine grapes, some stoney flintiness, and more earthy, herbal, and resinous piney hop bitters.
The carbonation is adequate in its softly-rendered frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and essentially smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the varied fruitiness making a lingering day of it.
Overall - this is indeed another stellar offering from this Canadian Rust Belt brewing concern, with the meeting of disparate New World hops going the long mile in making my flavourbuds sit up and take due notice. That, and the 6.9 points of warming are barely that - nice and integrated, to be faaaaaaaaaiiiiir. Anyways, time to see what the fuss is all about on SNL this week, I guess.

Appearance - Pours a hazy apricot gold with four fingers of frothy white head that leaves some puffy lace on the glass.
Smell - citrus, tropical, and floral hops, vinous aromas from the nelson sauvin hops, melon, pineapple, mango, citrus and orange peel, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - citrus, tropical, and floral hops upfront. The vinous aromas from the nelson sauvin hops follow come through next followed quickly by the melon, pineapple, mango, citrus and orange peel. The bready malts and earthy yeast finish the brew off.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the citrus, tropical, and vinous characteristics lingering.
Overall - Another superb and flavourful brew from Collective Arts. This is a nice marriage between the New England IPA and regular IPA. A must have in this series of IPAs!
