Pours slightly hazy. I’m tasting it without knowing it’s style, but it makes me think of a milkshake ipa with its orange creamsicle character. Slightly sweet, slightly tangy, with low bitterness and a pleasant finish.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a nice murky/opaque orange with white head. Nose is full of mango, pineapple, papaya, and some pine in the background. An orange creamsicle note is definitely there. Maybe a bit of wheat, but mostly this is a fruit-forward nose that leans heavily on the sweet side.
Taste nicely follows the nose with a lot of tropical fruit. Mango and pineapple are dominant. A tangy orange flavors lingers on the back end. That vanilla ice cream mixed with oranges is definitely still there. Apricots and honey make an appearance. There is a slight grassy/wheat note, but it's minor. This is a really nice fruity beer.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied. Creamy. Overall, I am really enjoying this one. Easy to drink and I'm left wanting another!

16oz can served in a big snifter. If there is a date, I don't see it. Received from @FBarber in a sneak attack in NBS BIF #14.
Pours a murky orange-amber with a fairly small head. Smell is very ripe tropical fruit -- mango, maybe some pineapple.
Taste is also leaning toward mango / tropical juice flavors, moderate sweetness, moderate hop resin bitterness at the end, though that builds a bit as I drink more of it.
Mouthfeel is fairly thick and rich with a hint of chalky / grittiness. Overall, this is a very nice beer.

Received from @fbarber in the NBS BIF #14. No date evident on can. Poured into a pint glass. It pours a dense orange-apricot color with two fingers of foamy, milk-white head and lots of sudsy lacing. A very attractive pour. A big, fruity nose featuring pineapple, tangerine, fresh cantaloupe, and floral hops. The taste is big and sticky and sweet with ripe melon, pineapple, and lemon, along with oaty sweetness. I cannot find the hop bill on the can or the website but they provide more fruit than bitterness. This is very tasty! The mouth feel is moderately creamy with appropriate carbonation and for 8% ABV it's almost crushable. I drained the can quickly. Overall, Cosmic Juice is a very fine DIPA. If Transient distributed to my area, then I'd certainly buy more.

S - Aroma is mango, cantaloupe and grapefruit.
T - The taste is tangerine, mango, cantaloupe and a grassy hop finish.
M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft dry finish.
O - Another winner from Transient.

My nose skills are either sorely lacking or my ability to smell has been compromised by something, either way I find it difficult to eek out the nuances that many of you can. But this I could smell, and it was really good!
The appearance started good and just got better- there was still lacing all the way up the glass when I went to wash it.
The taste was sweet citrus (orangish maybe?) and some funk that added a dryness to it that softened the sweet considerably. Nicely balanced and definitely makes me want to drink another sip.
The feel is soft - not what I was expecting at all, but soft. With a hint of edge after the dryness.
Good beer!

Beautiful hazy tangerine color with a creamy white head that positively clings to the glass it’s entire journey south. Truly a gorgeous beer. The dank, funky citrus aromas, with HUGE tangerine notes, some spicy passion fruit, and a slightly sweet oat aroma.
The tangerine is very juicy and front and center on the taste, and lingers to the back of the palate, tossing its arm over the shoulder of the creamy oat flavor to guide this into a slightly dry finish, which differs a bit from the original Juice, I’m guessing because of the different yeast (Cosmic Punch) that was utilized wIth this iteration of Juice. Wow.
This is absolutely delicious, and slightly dangerous because it’s so poundable at 8% ABV. Transient crushed this (pun intended), IMHO.
