With hops from both northern (El Dorado, Mosaic, Azacca, Citra) and southern (Moutere, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin) hemispheres, this heroic IPA hits all the right notes – pine and herbal aromas from the north, balanced by down under varietals delivering passionfruit, mango, and citrus. They all come together beautifully in this extravagant dual hemisphere IPA, highlighting some of the best Humulus Lupulus flowers on the planet.

This is in my opinion an almost perfect IPA. Light hop aroma and a nice hop taste that is not bitter. I think this would be one of my favorite IPA's. You taste the different notes that the variety of hops bring. It is easy drinking and has a mild aroma. The appearance is more of a hazy IPA with golden color. The head is medium with a lot of carbonization bubbles in the glass. Has a nice fruity flavor of pears, apples, citrus and tropical fruits all rolled into one beer. Rated 3-12-2022. 60 IBUs

Poured from a 12 oz. can into a Royal Gorge souvenir pint glass. White head leaves a little lacing. Color is yellow and hazy. Smell is fruity. Tastes good, with apricot up front giving way to grapefruit at the end. Good. Recommended.

You can taste the mosaic hops in this one. Really complex blend of hops here but doesn't do a whole lot for the flavors. It's a good IPA but thin in flavor and otherwise kind of forgetable.

12oz can into a 16oz nonic pint glass.
L: Pours a cloudy vibrant yellow gold with a thin, white fizzy head that quickly recedes to a thin skin and edge foam. Medium-high carbonation and a few tiny dark sediment chunks. Minimal skeletal lacing.
S: Huge pineapple smell right from the can opening. Then poured is pineapple, orange, mango and light pine. Quite tropical.
T: Pineapple, orange, mango, passion fruit and light grains. It is not complex.
F: I found this beer to be moderately light-bodied and alive. It is crisp & snappy with somewhat of a non-offending orange soda pop/orange cola mouthfeel that is a little bit prickly and is semi-dry. It has a comfortably fast finish.
O: With it's curious feel Space Camper IPA is very easy drinking for it's 5.9%ABV and is redolent of a session IPA in many respects. It is simple and very good in it's style.

12oz can, tulip, looks like best by 7/16/21.
Hazed orange sunset beer with a good parchment head.
Soft aromas. Peach, yellow grapefruit, rosemary.
Grapefruit, thin grain. Pretty flat flavors.
It is thin with medium-low carbonation.
It starts out with a strong aroma, but declines.

Poured from a can. Orangish to golden in color, hazy and juice like with a white head and some lacing. Smells of orange and mango. Flavors of tropical fruit, mango, orange and ends with a bready hint. Good flavors, nothing over top here. Enjoyable

Pours an effervescent & slightly hazed gold with two fingers of pearl colored head. Better than average head retention & lacing
S: Oranges & mangoes in spades, then fades as it warms
T: Follows the nose, Kiwi Fruit & powdery dryness as well, plus green melon up front. Bitter orange and grapefruit as this warms plus green melon and a little papaya. Finishes dry with pomelo, green melon & dryness
MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, a little prickly, balance could be better
This one is all over the map, good flavors conflicting with others. Drinkable but a take it or leave it for the style

12oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sudsy rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of citrus, orange, grapefruit and toasted caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp piney bitterness.
