L: Hazy yellow with a big bubbled white head that went away after a little bit.

S: Huge passionfruit nose along with pineapple and pine. Explosive aroma.

T: Firm bitterness, big pine and juicy citrus hop flavors. Very subtle malt, the flavor is pretty much all hops.

F: A bit thin and watery, but not bad.

Overall: A very refreshing and hoppy beer that would be great on a hot summer day.

 

Supper flavorful, light IPA. While the “space” branding usually means you’re headed to orbit due to a high ABV, this drank presently light and at 4.0% it won’t have you meeting up with Sputnik. It had a bit of a lawn clipping vibe, but overall not that over bearing. I drank it at night inside a hockey rink, but if I ever see this beer again, I would love to have it on the beech or at a BBQ. This is an ideal summer sipper, but it also worked well as a post skate brew.

No can date
Pours a med-large foamy frothy head with moderate retention, a bit of soapy lacing, very cloudy opaque pale light white-yellow color

Nose brings a mix of light citrus like a white tangerine, as well as some tropical fruits like pineapple, grapefruit, some pith, a touch grassy, some flaked wheat or oats

Taste brings lots of pith out front, light citrus like unripe tangerine, turning into big grapefruit, especially grapefruit pith and citrus rind, then mild pineapple and generic tropical in teh background, no real malt but some suspended proteins like flaked wheat or malt again, med bitterness up front, drier finish turning to higher bitterness

Mouth is lighter bod but a bit creamy soft, med to a little lighter carb

Overall not bad, somewhere between NEIPA and APA, a bit too light in body and malts in general even for a super session beer, but still enjoyable as the hops dominate as expected

 

 

 

16 oz. can.
No canning date but was delivered on Wednesday the 22nd of October.
Moderate pour yields a one inch off white, eggshell head over a very cloudy body with some sticky lacing. Nose of grapefruit, orange, and the slightest pine. Taste mirrors nose somewhat with the citrus pith taking over to a finish of citrus pith bitterness and slight pine resin bitterness. Nice feel and overall, there certainly is a lot going on with this 4%er, would have again, and recommend it. Cheers!
