Hazy, medium yellow to light orange color with a strong and soft white head. SRM of 7-9. (4.25)

Aroma: Strong aromas of candied orange, apricot, and dank citrus. Very earthy and dank with cannabis and weedy aromas. Some grapefruit and tropical melon underneath.

Flavor: Strong and juicy flavors of orange, pineapple, before a sweet melon flavor. However, this is all overshadowed by a dank earthy bitterness reminiscent of cannabis and weeds that is present. As it warms I get more of the pineapple, peach, and grapefruit citrus, but initially it was very dank.

Feel: Medium-bodied. Strong carbonation. Mouthfeel is soft, slightly creamy.


Compared to Hubbard’s Cave Mosaic 5/1/22: Pours identical, danker aromas. More dank and citrus. Less peaches, stonefruit, and pineapple. D

Overall: A very nice NEIPA that showcases the flavors well. Initially overpowering dankness upfront. Then, nice citrus, pineapple, stonefruit, and dankness. Initially the dankness was overpowering in this beer. So much that cannabis and weed overshadowed the flavors. As it warmed the flavors began to shine through. Grapefruit citrus, pineapple, apricot and peaches. Some dankness still lingering underneath, but a very nice NEIPA. (Rating:

 

 

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, orange, resin and sweet caramel notes. Great tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bite.

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Pours a cloudy Sunny D topped by a finger or so of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises orange peel, peach pit, pineapple, and leek. The taste brings in more of the same, the rind-y aspects coming off as juicier, some greens being added, and a slice or two of white bread peeking in from around the back right corner (it's kinda dark over there, I hope they're alright). The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda drying finish. A pretty tasty hazy boi, indeed.

Pours a hazy straw color with 1 finger head and nice lacing. Smell is herbal dank tropical and fruity . Notes of oranges/grapefruit. White grapes stone fruits papaya and melon. Mouth soft more sweet than dry , minimal bitterness or ABV notes .

Canned 4/18/22; drank 4/27/22 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a huge off-white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.

Lemon wheat, wheat & grapefruit peel notes in the nose.

Soft medium mouthfeel.

Grapefruit, lemon, dry wheat & faint cream flavors.

A solid NE IPA, but not really my flavor profile.

yellow to gold in color with a very hazy complexion. There's a fingernail of dishwater white on top. Moderate lacing. The aroma is of sharp citrus, green onions, and earthy hops. I'm tasting bitter oranges, green onions, and earthy hops. The mouth is resinous yet fairly smooth.
