No canning date

Pours a brilliant, turbid dark gold body capped with a massive head of soapy white foam; great retention yields a rocky finger of cap in tandem with a chunky collar; globs of webby lacing round the walls of the glass.

Aroma highlights a medley of papaya, sweet kiwi, and melon rind across the bouquet, with a general grassiness in the backdrop, before touching into a deep, deft mango sweetness on the close.

Taste opens with mango, lychee, and melon, advancing steadily in ripeness to a strong presence of composting tropical fruit potent on the back end; some black peppercorn, white bread, and grass accents the finish fleetingly.

Mouthfeel shows a medium body sporting moderate-low carbonation and amplified by a creamy, soft texture persisting across the palate; a vague oily tone flits past the mid-palate into a low, prickly bitterness fading through the finish with a minor earthy grit.

While the heavy hopping has this one charging unabashedly toward the sweeter side of the spectrum, there is an inherent, tightly-wound composure keeping things together in fulfilling and deeply expressive form; however, the borderline unhinged intensity leaves this beer with fleeting moments without focus, holding it back from the upper echelons of the style it was very nearly trending towards.

Fresh can from casknflask.
This was the 4th or 5th batch according to label. Used galaxy and mosaic.
Very hazy slushy appearance. Fluffy head.
Very tropical smell. Like cracking open a papaya and shoving your face in.tastes like that but additionally other fruits come out. Mango and melons. There’s a tinge of peanut sauce and dank cattiness to this.
Nice full juicy mouthfeel.
The only complaint is the tingle of nut and cat flavors I don’t care for. They were minimal and didn’t wreck it though. I think they come with the territory of some of these hops. Maybe it’s a personal problem. I don’t blame the brewer.
First beer from this LCB brewery. Will try again.

 

Yet again another perfectly carbed hazy!!

 

 

 

 

Poured murky orange/light brown with a really small head that did leave a ton of lacing. Looks like dark grapefruit juice.

Aroma and taste of citrus and tropical fruits with a little bit of green grassiness.

Feel is medium-full, smooth and creamy, good carbonation and very low bitterness.

Overall very nice, I'd classify it with the better hazies produced out here.

Pours with a deep yellow (picture makes it seem darker, sorry) very hazy body. The head formation is fairly minimal, though whatever head does form actually stays better than expected and leaves lots of lacing on the glass. Smell is very citrusy, full of oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits. Taste follows the nose — lots of citrusy notes and a bit of oat. I suppose that I can perceive some floral tropical notes from Mosaic hops, but Galaxy obviously dominates. I should note that the taste is truly strong; as far NEIPAs go, this is a big one. In terms of feel, this beer is big, full-bodied, and creamy At the same time, the alcohol is very well hidden. Overall, I'm happy with this beer. Oats are not too prominent, Southern Hemisphere hops really do destroy the palate, and the strong body fits the overall profile of this beer.
