Brewed with a simple malt bill of Pilsner malt and two row with just a touch of flaked oats thrown in for body, the shining stars of the show are triumph and galaxy hops added late in the kettle and also for the dry hop.

Clean, bitter, pungent resiny with pine, bitter orange peel, marmalade. Clean, minimal malt, snappy and bright. Oily, clean finish, lovely texture.

Pour at de Garde 10th Anniversary event. Pale golden pour, light cloudiness, white foamy head fades. Aroma is hoppy, pine, herbaceous. Taste is more layered hops, getting danker the deeper you go.

16oz can
Do my eyes deceive me!? HM finally makes a clear IPA?!
Pours three massive fingers of white head into my Willi glass. Retention is good, with half of the head remaining after a few minutes. Initial lacing looks pretty solid too. Body is golden, crystal clear, with a hefty amount of bubbles coming up. Looks nice so far.
Nose is slightly sweet, bursting with aromas of ripe mango, honey, and a very faint dankness. Overall a huge aroma. I trust it won't be too sweet, though that characteristic brings the smell down just a bit.
Flavor hits much different. Some traces of fruit, but far more herbal and earthy. Notes of sage, pepper, and cannabis. Not exactly my preferred flavor profile, but at least it's something different, and it’s relatively complex.
Carbonation is medium, but the hops add a lively nature to the beer. Pretty light bodied, as it should be. Not sweet nor dry, very well balanced. Bitterness is medium-low. Overall a solid mouthfeel.
Drinkability is nice, this is pretty light and crisp.
Appearance turned out pretty good as well. Lacing was cohesive for the most part.
Overall a solid IPA. Flavorful and different.

Pours a clear bright yellow with plenty of foam in the Maredsous goblet. Hint of peach and the faintest malty sweetness. Then it's green weed, pencil shavings, and blackened blackberry stems. Astringent finish but still that ghost of the peach. Bitter. More bitter. From the 16 oz can purchased at Garden Path. No apparent date and no info that I can find on the Intergalactic Library. But they had time to crank out a nice label.
