A little cloying on finish. Is this from hops oil?

 

 

 

my second from these guys, and another banger for sure, incredibly fresh and a unique mix of hops here, with strata leading the way in front of mosaic and citra, at least it stands out the most to me of the three in the mix. i love strata hops, and in such a well refined base hazy beer, its an impressive offering. hints of watermelon rind, pink bubblegum, fruity pebbles, and blue taffy in here, but its not sweet oddly enough, although its not bitter either i guess, its pretty neutral in that regard, but the hops are bold and awesome, some candied orange to them, kiwi fruit, mango juice, and some faint grapey sativa as well, pungent but not overdosed, no linger or bite at the end, no vegetal thing either, its smooth and easy to drink. the base beer seems simple, multigrain, and well enough refined, but short of fully clean. the fermentation is close to complete, this is on the dry side for the style, and the carbonation and other intangibles are all present. the strata hops define this for me, but its becoming obvious that aurora is making some killer hazy stuff. awfully rad of my brother to send these out for me to try, i loved this one!
