Revenge of the Hippies was brewed with oats & spelt and hopped with Mosaic, Citra, Azacca, and then we hit it with something totally new to us - Mosaic Spectrum, which is a crazy new, super sciency way to get loads of primo Mosaic dry hop vibes, flavor & aroma while keeping it mellow and smooth.

Grabbed a can; poured out a relatively clear bright brass yellow, but hazed up a bit as residue escaped bottom of can. Though no residue/yeast etc at all resulting self bottom of glass. Medium bubbly big white head that rapidly dissipated with slight foam cover and thin halo.
Nose is fruity pineapple; touch of citrus’s/lemon; very slight must.
Flavor full; mirrors nose. Greater pineapple, now melon maybe guava…some dank seems from Azacca. Unfamiliar with Mosaic Spectrum. But overall hop bill with solid malt base flavors was really tasty.
Body is brightly carbonated yet smooth. Very drinkable; even refreshing despite bigger body and abv.
Overall a nice fruit forward DIPA that drinks a bit lighter towards IPA vs DIPA. Enjoyed.

No canning date
Appearance: Pours a nearly completely hazy (10% clarity), light and pale yellow color with a moderate white head. SRM of 5. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong and juicy aromas of sweet lemon, peaches, some tropical pineapple rind and grapefruit citrus underneath. (4.25)
Flavor: Strong flavors of sweet lemon, sweet citrus flower, peaches, tropical pineapple and melon underneath. Juicy, mildly sweet. (4.25)
Feel: Medium-bodied, strong carbonation and juicy finish, but only mildly sweet. (4.25 )
Compared to Drekker Clueless Wonder 1/2023: Pours identical, milder head. Stronger aromas. More lemon citrus, citrus flower, peaches. Less tangerine and maybe pineapple. Juicier and newer with more flavor. Overall, similar.
Overall: One of the better ones from Drekker. Nice candied lemon, sweet citrus flower above some peach flavors. Stays bright, juicy and light though. Unique and very nice juicy flavors. Drinkable. Very enjoyable and one I'd buy again if I see it. (Rating: 4.24)

This is a great brew, don't get me wrong, but it's no Garbage People, a Drekker that is one of the best hazy style IPAs ever. This is close.
It pours yellow and not fully hazy until you get to the bottom of the can. Nice lacing and fizz continues with the drink. The aroma is very clean for the style (too clean). The taste is tangy and juicy as these usually are. It has a messy finish, leaving a nice lingering, not too bitter aftertaste.
Recommended. It's not as good as Garbage People, what can I say. My sample is 5+ weeks old - I'll bet it was better a few weeks ago.

Canned 3/14/22; drank 4/3/22 @ the Yarchives.
Cloudy pale yellow/orange appearance.
A violent pour yielded a big, noisy off-white head; strong lace.
Orange citrus, tart lemon & mild yeast funk in the nose.
Soft, medium mouthfeel.
Lemon & faint orange citrus flavors; mild yeast funk on the finish.
A bit saison-ish, but still citrus forward. Interesting but not amazing.

Pour is hazy light gold. Citrus, white peach, mango, light grass on the nose. Taste follows the nose. Blend of green and tropical notes to finish. Overall a solid offering.
