In pursuit of the leading edge of modern hoppy beer, Fluid Forms is our most progressive Double IPA to date. Named for the fluid, ever-changing genre of American IPA, Fluid Forms combines a grist bill featuring heaps of fluffy Ohio grown-and-malted oats with Neomexicanus hybrid Sabro, tropical Idaho 7, and juicy, hand-selected Citra hops. These elements merge to create a feathery 9% IPA rife with notes of Piña Colada, stone fruit, and exotic citrus.

I got a 4pck of this beer from my local Giant Eagle store. It poured a hazy orangish with frothy white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank citrus and floral hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with stone fruit peel spice and bright citrus highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours yellowish orange and is turbid. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves decent lacing.
The aroma is tropical fruit and melon. I also get hints of grapefruit and pine.
It is kind of sweet upfront. I get melon and tropical fruit. There is grapefruit and pine in the finish, but it is not very bitter at all.
Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel
I just find this beer a bit too sweet upfront. The finish is great with the grapefruit and pine. I just haven't loved any of Jackie O's hazy IPAs yet. I still prefer them for their barrel aging program.

Finally, a fucking beer! Let's drink it!
L: Hazy. Golden. Lightly carbonated.
S: Lovely. Tropical juiciness bursts forth.
T: Piney. Resinous. Moderately bitter (70 IBU?). I'm having no difficulties whatsoever drinking this beer.
F: Big and sticky, with a residual. So much flavor that 9% ABV doesn't seem excessive. (It is)
O: The guys at Jacki-Os understand IPA. We want hops. MORE hops. REAL hops. Invest now.

I just had a New England style IPA a couple hours ago but this is so much better in comparison, that I have to rate this brew amongst the all time best. I will adjust my numbers based on my other tastings. Needless to say, I thought this brew was what the style should be.
It pours very cloudy with nice lacing. Yellow. Very pretty. The aroma is a delicious drink-me hops and malt smell that is in no way funky. Appetizing and near perfect.
The taste is a hoppy and malty blend that is just bitter enough to balance the big malts. It is all delivered in a refreshing drink that is tasty even very cold. A sublime burp.
Highly recommended. I need to seek out more.

Look - hazy whitish yellow color with a big lasting sticky white foamy head
Smell - Great tangerine, pineapple and coconut scents. Very Juicy smelling
Taste - a lot like the scents. Not as powerful as the scent but still really flavorable and not bitter.
Feel - Medium full body with a medium slightly creamy carbonation
Ovearll - This is a really fantastic NE IIPA!!!
