On tap at The Answer.

Pours a hazy light orange with soft, fine head.

Smell is juiy with notes of mango, pineapple and a hint of vanilla.

Taste is juicy and moderately bitter, with notes of mango, pineapple, grass and a hint of licorice.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice, juicy DIPA, easy to drink.

Poured a cloudy, yellow body with great head and lace. Airy, citric, floral sweetness in the aroma. Smooth, medium-bodied, great sweetness with something akin to peach/mango and has a lovely, clean finish.

Look: hazy, yellow. Thin, persistent head
Smell: dank and citrus hops dominate
Taste: big citrus bomb up front, then that dank, oiliness follows
Feel: viscous, bitterness lasts on the tongue
Overall: textbook DIPA and well done. Loads of citrus with enough dankness to balance.

This thing looks great, but a little less cloudy than your typical hazy IPA. Solid white foam head that lasted pretty good.
The smell was a nice mix of hops and citrus flavors, but was not as strong as I perfer
The taste of this was a very nice mix of hops and citrus notes, I find this one to be sort of a balance between hazy NE style IPA and the more hopped forward beers from the west coast.
This beer has a great feel for my personal taste. Even though I enough the hazy IPA's, my favorite feel is a super dry finish and most hazies just don't deliver in that regard. This one absolutely did.
I really enjoyed this beer and thought it was a good mix of hops and citrus notes.

Pours a murky golden color - it isn't as ultra-turbid as something from their next door neighbors The Veil, but it's hardly crystal clear. The head is a finger high and white in shade. It's very fluffy in texture, and has decent retention. Webs of lacing are left behind.

This is Mosaic heaven. The aroma offers incredible amounts of grapefruit, along with some mango, papaya, guava, and even a little blueberry. As it opens up, the blueberry becomes more evident. A touch of sweet malt helps keep everything in check. The best part? The nasty parts of Mosaic (like BO and sweet onion) are almost nonexistent. This is close to being a paragonal Mosaic IPA going by the nose.

It opens up with lots of blueberry - lots and lots and lots of blueberry. The middle offers citrus & tropical tones of grapefruit, papaya, grapefruit, mango, and grapefruit. Did I mention grapefruit? It finishes with a slight malt sweetness, along with a mild piney bitterness. This never once seems oniony; in fact, the balance is so razor sharp it helps the beer to improve as more is consumed. That's the hallmark of a world beating IPA right there.

This has a notably crisper, lighter feel than the typical NE-style IPA. At the cost of seeming slightly more angular on the palate, it ends up being absurdly easygoing. Holy shit, this can't be 8%, there's no way. Carbonation is zesty, yet not overdone.

Yes. Yes. YES. It's not a total hop milkshake, it's just a wonderfully done IPA - and actually makes a nice break from chalky, yeasty hop milkshakes. This is a must try for anyone who loves the style, or even just wants to get into the style.

4.42/5: All the hop goodness

L: Poured from a 32 oz. crowler to a tulip glass. Had an orangey color and a cloudy consistency. There was an inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Pretty good lacing.

S: A nice aroma of hops, citrus, tropical fruits, and malt.

T: Tasted of a fair amount of citrus fruits (grapefruit, in particular), a lot of hops (to be expected), light malt notes (mostly in the finish, and an array of tropical fruit (pineapple, for one). This flavor is definitely heavy on the fruit, but it seems to work well with the hops content. Sweet and tasty.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a vibrant finish. Medium-bodied.

O: All the Action is a very solidly made, easy to drink DIPA. Light, smooth and likable.

Crowler filled 10/21/17

Hazy light orange hue with a low frothy white head. Mango, berry, tangerine, melon, and spicy herb aromas. Flavor is juicy Mosaic zesty dankness...that oily berry, pine, pink grapefruit, pineapple, and a flash of booze. Medium bodied, fluffy, pillowy feel with a long dry finish. The 8% makes itself known, but still a nicely drinkable DIPA.
