Pouring light orange with a slight, glowing haze, Permutation 6.53's hefty dry-hop of Mosaic and Simcoe offers intense tropical notes as soon as the can is cracked. Tangerine, candied orange, sweet melon, and pine surge across the palate. Juicy and soft, Permutation 6.53 finishes dry with a pleasant kiss of bitterness.

Pours hazy gold color, not much head. Aroma has sweet citrus blossom notes. Taste is similar with sticky sweet floral notes with a strong citrus base. Very soft and a little sticky with a slight alcohol burn i n the finish

16oz can dated 12/5/19.
Pours clear yellow with an inch-plus of white foam. Retention is nice with plenty of tattered lacework. Grapefruit in the nose with orange oil and a light booziness. Medium bodied with a slickish, tacky mouthfeel. Citrus oils with a trace of malt on the palate. Grapefruit with garlic and pine. Finishes dry with a decent bitterness.

Pours a lightly hazed yellow gold with a creamy lasting white foam head. Smells like huge mango, berries, sweet melon, candied orange, tangerine, pineapple, tropical passionfruit, fresh citrus, some grainy malt, almost vanilla or caramel, with floral earthy dank resinous pine. Tastes pretty clean and refreshing with notes of berry, mango, melons, tropical pineapple, passionfruit, fresh grapefruity citrus, tangerine, orange peel, some slight caramelized bready grain, with clean lightly bitter floral earthy resinous pine. Feels medium lighter bodied with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a real nice IPA.
