I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club mixed pack. It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had mango and apricot notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright sweet malt base with bitter apricot and nectarine presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

Hazy pale yellow color with a small white head and a bit of lacing.
Aroma of citrus and pine.
Taste of grapefruit, orange, and pine.
Nice hop bitterness.

 

nice hoppy ipa good drinking but niothing specuaial

Got this from Adam after the fourth annual MW bottleshare. Would be second Fiction beer, having previously given Logic is Relative a 3.88. Description online was, “Loaded with over 5 lbs. of hops per barrel. Featuring Idaho 7, Mandarina Bavaria, Mosaic and Citra hops. Brewed with over 30% wheat. Flavors of ripe papaya and mango with pineapple, orange zest, and peach skin. Juicy. Hazy.”

Poured a pale hazy color with 1-to-2 fingers of frothy off-white head. Slow moving bubbles creeping up along the sides of the glass. Good watery lacing. Below average retention. (Sight - 3.50)

Smelled very dank from the beginning. Got dank Idaho 7, Citra, papaya, mango, peach, apricot, orange rind, pineapple, resiny pine and stone fruit. From the can got Citra, Mosaic, mango and pineapple. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted Citra, caramel (Motueka like), spoiled fruit, papaya, bitter orange rind, nectarine, apricot, mango, pineapple, dank Idaho 7 and resiny pine. (Taste - 3.75)

Medium body. Oily texture. Lively carbonation. Bitter finish. (Feel - 3.75)

This was a very good beer. Would have it again for sure. (Overall - 3.75)

these guys are making some great ipas right now, some of the best in the city i reckon, despite remaining almost entirely unsung. this one is a dry hopped monster, hazy and east coasty, but cleaner when i actually drink it. huge aroma from the tap of pineapple and melon, also that classic tropical mosaic profile, although this cant possibly be all mosaic. juicy would be an understatement here, its dripping with fresh hoppy fruitiness, but even in the flavor there isnt a ton of bitterness. it does however have some finish, despite feeling a little fuller it dries out nicely at the end, i prefer this in my cloudy ipa now, a quicker finish rather than the lingering hops, thats where they get vegetal and start to taste like the actual pellets themselves. this has pineapple juice and orange peel and spruce notes to it, all coming together really nicely. average carbonation is appropriate here, dont need to whizz through these hop layers too fast! overall another killer hoppy beer from these guys, i am always surprised their beer doesnt get more attention...

 

Opaque sunset orange with a thin bubbly lumpy white head, this chalky dry, thin beer has notes of dank cannabis, mango and pineapple. Not bad Colorado.

After a week in Colorado, I finally found a Colorado beer that really made me super happy.
Madam Psychosis, not only is in a beautiful can and references David Foster Wallace, but it's a damn good beer to boot!
Overall, a hazy, fruity, lovely NE IPA that is smooth, refreshing, crushable and a delight. 3 out of 4 from my four pack disappeared on the first night. A really lovely and refreshing beer. Heading over to pick up another four pack now.
