Snuck over to Windmill Farms specifically to look for this beer and a few other North Park ones (found two). North Park’s email for this one called it “The gears were turning when we made CLOCKWORK INTELLIGENCE DDH Hazy DIPA. We used a highly sophisticated brewing contraption, database, and processor to create the juiciest DIPA, for hopheads to enjoy. After careful analysis we determined the hops enhanced flavors of bright orange citrus, bursts of tropical papaya, guava, & passionfruit, and a hint of Artificial Intelligence. Not a glitch in this super-smooth haze.
Note: After imbibing CLOCKWORK INTELLIGENCE one will not become bionic, part cyborg, or a number cruncher. However one will experience a most delicious & enjoyable experience on their overall mainframe.” NOTE: While reviewing, saw from another post that the hops were Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy.

Poured a light golden hazy color with five fingers of rocky white head. Plenty of fast-moving bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Perfect layered foamy lacing. Perfect retention. (Sight - 5.00)

Smelled passion fruit, papaya, orange, tangerine, guava, pineapple, peach, orange creamsicle and floral. Would’ve guessed Citra, Amarillo and Galaxy for hops (but found out later while looking at reviews it was Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy. Not bad.). Just as good out of the can. (Smell - 4.25)

Tasted Citra, Galaxy, passion fruit, peach, papaya, orange, tangerine, guava, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, orange creamsicle, floral and lingering spice. (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, smooth finish. (Feel - 4.00)

This was an outstanding hazy IPA. (Overall - 4.00)

Pours a cloudy yellowish brew with plenty of foam in the Affligem chalice. Soft and sudsy in the mouth with a distinct acidity. Nose of orange. Taste is all citrus peel with lingering orange rind. A touch of mango and piineapple. Very fizzzy and sharp.

Overall this is an average hazy-style brew with the usual intense citrus peel taste and slippery mouthfeel. This one is a little less harsh in the acidic aftertaste. Hops are listed as Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy. From the 16 oz can purchased at Best Damn. Dated 02/09/21 on the bottom.

Okay, but some layers of flavors do remind me of the odor of warm piss. You gotta remove that sensation!
