Poured an orange body with large head and a bit of lace going down the glass. Dirty, earthy, bitter hoppy aroma with some sweetness sticking out (akin to grapefruit). Taste is same as it's a dry, hopped up beer but doesn't go overboard thanks to a bit of fruit sweetness mixed in there. Crisp, clean finish and it's quite enjoyable.

Growler purchased 9/28/16 and poured into Belgian ale glass.
L: Golden/amber with 2F head. Good retention with lacing, cap, and ring.
S: Citrus, tropical, floral, and pine, all brought to you by the good Mosaic hop. Mosac: when you want beer to smell and taste good.
T: Mango, berry, floral, lemon, and a light malt backbone. Piney finish, but clean with little dankness. All works very nicely.
F: Light to medium and carbonation. Good construction and balance.
O: Excellent DIPA.

One of the best Mosaic ipa's I've had. Juicy fruit, stone fruit and dankness. Great medium + mouthfeel and we'll hidden abv. Unfortunately it's a one time brew but hopefully Ocelot decides to bring it back.

Pours a hazy deep golden almost orange. On the rim, nose is citrus and mango. In the glass, nose is mostly citrus with a touch of cat urine that disappeared as it warmed. I get mostly grapefruit on the front. It finishes with less malt and more bitterness. Medium light carb. Feel is slick. Overall, a pretty good imperial IPA.

Quite impressive fresh at brewery. A slightly mishandled growler, if it mimics age, shows a bit of heat/light onion notes creeping in.
