I wasn't sure how this was going to taste but it's interesting and good and different. This is the orange and vanilla version. It's part sour, part IPA, and part pilsner but actually done pretty well instead of being a strange jarbled mess. It's got a nice orange mimosa color with a brief flash of an off white orange head. The more forward taste here is the orange. Pucker and tart and somewhat juicy but certainly citric. Then comes the dry hopped pilsner malt character. Simultaneously herbal with the spicy hop bite but also with a nice malty graininess that I did not expect. Aside from the dry hopped element there's also a general IPA hop aroma and flavor. It leans west coast style IPA between the juxtaposition with the dry hopped turned somewhat tropical juice bomb hop and the prominent malt base. I would definitely recommend trying this one if you can get it fresh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coffee and a sour ipa should not be mixed.

Near-perfect. Peach adjunct.

 

 

 

 

Holy hell am i lucky to have got a crowler of this to myself.

Literally the most gorgeous orange juice appearance with pure, bright white foam.

Slight hoppy and grassy smell. With weak tangerine smell. Was a little skeptical of how it may play out.

Perfectly tart mimosa is what this tastes like. Pillowy carbonation makes it perfectly smoothe.

Wow i wish i had 30 of these.

Poured from a 12 ounce can. Pours a thick yellow color with hardly any head to speak of. Smell is sour grapefruit. Taste is a tart orange, very nice. It's a smooth beer and a nice sour. I don't see the IPA at all, but it's a real good mimosa-style beer.
