L: pours a vibrant yellow with murky complexion. Full on murk boi making the haze bros pine. Less than a finger of head with mild lacing.
S: as soon as the can was popped open, a citrus/hoppy profile was noted. As I get a nose on it, the dry-hopped character is dominant but not overdone. Orange, pineapple, lemon and passion fruit represent the fruit aromas present. Hop profile is lemongrassy with hints of black pepper. Mild biscuity yeast in the background.
T: delicious. All the previously mentioned fruits are detected with the addition of pineapple, grapefruit and mixed berry (mostly due to mosaic hops). Finish is hoppy, grassy and dry. After taste is citrus-forward. Slightly sweet towards the end of the profile but not alcohol syrupy.
F: fantastic. Full-bodied, creamy texture with soft feel. It’s lofty, pillowy and moderate in terms of weight. Booze is nearly perfectly concealed and does not negatively impact the integrity of the mouthfeel.
O: 450 North surprised me with this one. For being QDH, it’s smooth and not too excessive. The hop profile was still noted without all blending together. The unique edition of Enigma combined with the powerful duo that is Citra and Mosaic created an enjoyable experience that I’m glad to have tried. Cheers!

Ultra murky light tan with a quick to dissipate off-white to maize yellow head that's obviously smothered by all them hop oils!
Dank and spicy, this has a thick feel with a firm underlying carbonation that brings a chalky vanilla biscuit with notes of mango before a peppery, boozy or hop burn-laden swallow.
Juuuuuust a bit over the top.

Sweet, dank, tons of fresh hops. Get a little bit of sweet graininess. Definitely an ABV wallop at 10.7%. Soft, slick mouthfeel and a dry, tropical finish.

I really enjoyed this beer, but at the end of the can I could really taste a hop profile too strong for my liking. it taste as if I just put a fresh hop in my mouth and chewed the juice out of it.
