The fourth release in our Science is the Art Collection leverages mangoes and tropical hops to create a fruit bomb that combines the extra body and creamy richness of the Double IPA with the addition of lactose. Turn the can upside down before opening for increased hazy appeal. Or don’t. Either way, it’s a flavorful and aromatic trip into the cosmos.

-Unfiltered double india pale ale brewed with mango, tropical hops and lactose. Episode four of six.
A: Hazy orange, but clearly they skimped on the lactose by first impressions. An average rate of carbonation, not as juicy or hazy or thick as I had hoped for/expected. In my spiegelau ipa glass standard size print was clearly readable. A thin 1/4 inch off white head was forgettable and shortly lived.
S: Fruit cup aroma, mixture of wet peaches, pears and grapefruit. Clean sense, like juice additive, tart tropical pineapple-oranges, modest level.
T: Juicy tart mangoes open the flavor along with some tart tropical of pineapple with some bright spots. Grapefruit juice and tart oranges add a slight bittering factor, with flashes of fruit alcohol. Juicy tartness, some milky malt, lactose, that you can taste, just not visualize as well.
M: Juicy mouthful, medium body, tart, average.
O: I would give the flavor a 3.75, just above average in strength and complexity. Tasted more like fruit additive then derived from hops. Good flavor, but nothing that really stands out as unique or forefront on the creative side. The appearance with the lack of lactose was a bit of a let down, expected a big juicy appearance, as well the nose was a bit ordinary. Drinks like a tropical drink, rather an N.E. ipa, if indeed that is what they were shooting for. Leaves with a tropical tartness. Nice flavor, but hardly worth the investment of a six pack.
