Pours a HAZY opaque deep golden orange juice color, with a thick off-white/ light tan foam cap, micro bubbles, solid retention,aromas of mango, apricot, pineapple, and white grapes, taste is similar; tropical fruit mixed with lemon, clementine’s, subtle peach, and grape notes. Mouthfeel is juicy, thin to medium body, medium carbonation, and a fairly dry finish with lingering tropical fruits and little to no hop bitterness. Overall, a delicious, highly drinkable, NEIPA with soft citrus and tropical fruit flavors, no noticeable ABV at 7%, worth drinking.

Wasn't aware Horus beers were seeing distribution out here, so happily grabbed a can I saw in the cold box at John's market. Hmmm....
The beer looks nice enough, pouring a hazy golden amber color with good head retention and considerable lacing. The nose is attractive as well, as I pick up some nice tropical fruit, some undelying lemon zest, and noticeable onion. Smells like a pretty decent ipa. And then I took a sip. This beer is all sweet juice, and is a bit too sweet for my liking. Also, this beer has virtually no bitterness, and it could really use some. The lack of bitterness really hurts the mouthfeel, as the beer seems a bit heavy and listless on the palate. It's medium bodied otherwise, and alcohol is well integrated into the flavor profile. Drinkability is fair; again, the complete lack of any bitterness on the finish really hurts this beer's drinkability.
Mehhh. If this is the brewer's idea of an ipa, I won't be getting any more Horus versions. This isn't awful, but it's pretty mediocre.

Really captured the essence of soft fruits in this one. In the aromas I get lots of peach, clementine, passion fruit, grapefruit and apricot to go with paler dry hops. Taste has a sneaky juiciness that accumulates beautifully through the sip. Add grape and lime to the aroma fruits in the taste, very refreshing and bright. Body is a little thin, but fits the flavor profile well. Glowing yellow pour and white head makes for a nice picture

16oz undated can.
Pours cloudy yellow with an inch of white fluff. Decent retention and lacing. Peach, pear, pineapple, and tangerine in the nose. Medium bodied with a creamy, crisp mouthfeel. A bit on the thinnish side. Peachy and tropical on the palate with zero malt and minimal bitterness. Finishes with lingering tropicals and fairly dry.

16 oz. can dated 1/10/19. Poured into Teku glass.
L: 2F super foamy head. Leaves webs of white lacing and a cap and ring. Beer is a hazy gold-orange.
S: Pineapple, grape, and peach notes, along with cracker malts. Fairly reserved.
T: Matches nose. Flavor is subtle and the grape and peach hit harder than the tropical or citrus. Still fairly hop-forward after 6 weeks. Finish is neutral.
F: Mediumish side of light to medium body, light to moderate carbonation, nice soft flavors, pretty drinkable.
O: All in all a very nice IPA.

Loved this one. Mosaic forward with lots of subtlety going on from swig to finish. Very nicely done, I recommend.
