Everything but the Kitchen Sink! This addition to our Light Visions Collection is packed with Enigma, Calypso, Denali, El Dorado and Idaho 7 hops.
With the largest Dry hopping rate we’ve done so far, you’ll experience flavors and aromas of juicy mango, bright citrus zest and smooth lychee, all accompanied by the perfect amount of bitterness and fluffy mouthfeel.

Can't read the canned stamp, but initial release for this beer was 10/18/19.
Some unfortunate evidence of oxidation immediately from the pour. Not a crazy amount, but a clear copper-hued murkiness that distracts from the golden orange haze that is fighting so hard to assert its dominance. The head is good, white and frothy; it rises to about a half inch above the body of the beer.
Nose is great on this. The unique array of bright, refreshing, fruity aromas I can imagine are predominantly attributed to the potency from the Enigma and Calypso. Notes of pear and stone fruit are noticeable, as well as undertones of raspberry, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. I am not usually a fan of Enigma, especially on its own, but paired with the right hop varieties it really makes itself known.
Drastically different on the palate than on the nose. Not necessarily in a bad way, but can't say it's in a good way either. There's just a lot happening. Immediately struck with abundant bitterness, characterized by floral hops and a robust, dry earthiness. As the potency from the hops subsides a little I'm greeted with the more acidic side of the citrus spectrum, namely grapefruit and lime. I do feel as though the oxidation is lending to the increased bitterness in this beer, but even with that aside there's not enough prominent fruit or present sweetness to balance this one out. As I continue to sip, I begin to get some underripe pineapple and strawberry, with some grape skin bitterness on the tail.
Mouthfeel is fine; medium-bodied with an equally even-keeled seltzery carbonation. It finishes with a bit of residual film and that aforementioned bitterness.
Overall, the quality here seemed to be a bit compromised, however I think I was still able to gain the major elements of this beer and am still confident in concluding that the "kitchen sink" method of hopping was unfortunately unsuccessful in this effort. Color obviously off, aroma was great, palate below average in comparison to what I expect from TrimTab.

Had on can in brewery June 2018
Solidly in the now classic hazy IPA style; pours deep OJ orange with a nice frothy head; taste is sweet, ripe mango & fruit punch; hop flavors muddle together and no distinctive profile comes through; another easy drinker but not exceptional
