Was one of my last picks at Craft Beer Cellar, a phenomenal beer shop in Fort Collins, Colo. The guy there told me about good this one was and I believed him. Later heard that the ratings were through the roof and that only a few places got these cans. Had high hopes, even though I am usually disappointed with the hazy stuff.

Poured a medium yellow hazy color with two fingers of frothy white head. Light bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. World-class spiderweb foamy lacing. Outstanding retention. (Sight - 4.25)

Smelled a nice of mix of hops and citrus from the get-go. First smell was all the hops that the can read - Citra, Mosaic and Columbus. Also got orange blossom, nectarine, cantaloupe, caramel candy squares, toffee and spoiled orange rind. Started out great on the nose, but trailed off somewhat. (Smell - 4.00)

Taste was at least just as good. Got a mix of Citra and trashy Mosaic. Also orange blossom, nectarine, caramel candy squares, citrus pulp, toffee, spoiled orange rind, dank resin and peach. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Long, citrusy finish. (Feel - 4.00)

This was a pretty good NE IPA, although I think I overrated it at spots overall. (Overall - 4.00)

Amazing beer! Very NE style. DDH . Mosaic, Citra and Columbus hops. Wonderful. Nice cloudy look, suburb mouthfeel. I would drink this all the time. Too bad it's a first anniversary beer.
