Completely solid IPA, drank on June 8, 2019, can released April 9, 2019 - first beer from Homage that I've tried and look forward to trying more.

Poured thick, hazy and sludgy out of the can with a good finger or two of creamy head that gave lots of nice lacing as I drank it. Color was yellow haze, mouthfeel was "soft and pillowey" although I hate the blatant overuse of that word by breweries...smell was complex but the standout was the taste - without going into all the fruits, my first taste was cold out of the fridge and I almost was wondering if there was something sour going on. But no, this may have been the Cashmere hops which I don't think I've tried before, not sure. All I know is that these 4 hops played together perfectly - juicy and sweet with some kind of little tingle going on there that may have accounted for that slightly sour sensation at the colder temp. Slightly warmed, out of the fridge for maybe 5 minutes, this is a creamy juicy tinglesicle that really blew me away. This is the definition of a "complex" and quite tasty IPA that is worth seeking out. Cheers!

Postscript - after reading a couple of one phrase reviews on Untapped, I'm going to try to pinpoint this very mild tingle on the presence of some pineapple notes, which, after having read about those Cashmere hops, could come from them, but possibly others too, didn't read about them all.
