Beautiful hazy appearance with a respectable and enduring cap of foam. The aroma/bouquet is pleasantly citrusy, which dovetails nicely with the appearance. I can almost delude myself into thinking I’m drinking a healthy fruity juice. But then the IPA essence kicks in and we’re not in Boom Boom Juice-land any longer. I savored this long enough to also appreciate the 10.5 ABV. What a wonderful experience!

Single can from Cheers. Disappointed in appearance. Served @ 40 degrees in a standard Knick. Head never really grew more than an inch; fuzzy not creamy. Then body was a murky mud gold. No lacing, no surface film, no halo. Understand it’s a big abv…but I’ve had plenty that presented themselves much better than this.
Nose was evident with tropics and biscuit. Some resin. Taste was very good with plenty of tropical fruits like papaya, mango some pineapple than a nice bready maltiness and spot on dank. Body was full and smooth. No noticeable abv at all.
Overall as advertised… a nice tasty Mosaic TIPA. Nice sipper. But I’d probably be just as happy serving this in a solid tankard.

Aroma is fruit and Mosaic hops, among the dankest I’ve ever had. The flavor is sweet citrus, malts, a hint of tea and a spicy/dank Mosaic hop finish.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on October 17, 2022. Triple IPA brewed with Mosaic hops. Look is a thick hazy orange gold. Smell and taste is fruity and piney. Feel is full in body.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of grapefruit, pineapple, guava and sweet caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

poured from a 16oz can into a stemless wine glass. pours a burnt orange but gathers in the glass a little more golden with a frothy, three-finger foam cap. dank weed, subtle blueberries and tropical fruits, citrus and pine on the nose. taste follows with hardly any noticeable alcohol burn even as it warms up. it has a full, creamy mouthfeel with an appropriate level of carbonation. it’s a big IPA but it’s very approachable. i think they nailed this one.
