No canning date
Appearance: Pours a mostly hazy (30% clarity) pale golden color with a moderate white head. SRM of 6. (3.75)
Aroma: Strong aromas of orange citrus, mango flesh, tropical melon and pineapple. (4.00)
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange citrus, grapefruit citrus, mango flesh with some tropical pineapple and melon underneath. (4.25)
Feel: Medium bodied, carbonation to match. Finishes juicy and balanced. (4.00)
Compared to Drekker Hex Marks the Spot 7/2023: Pours similar, smaller head. Milder aromas. Less mango skin, bubblegum, blueberries. More mango flesh and tropical pineapple/melon. Lighter and cleaner
Overall: Interesting concept of a mashup from Fair State, Modist and BlackStack of their flagship IPAs. Lots of hops going on here. I'm getting Azacca (mango) and Amarillo and El Dorado (orange) mostly here. Balanced better than I expected. Not bad. (Rating: 4.14)

Hazy and light golden with a thinning white head that has some staying power, this brew looks decent. Citrus and pineapple forward tropical nose is pretty nice I must say. Oh yea, this has a subtle sweetness and the oats play well through the finish with just light bitterness. They also help impart a lighter yet creamy feel to this brew. I’m finding trouble coming up with any weak spot. Pretty strong beer here.

A: The beer is hazy pale light yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down and left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of pineapple are present in the nose along with notes of mango and hints of pine.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of lime. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied, smooth and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems to have a rather delicate "body" considering its strength.
Serving type: can

Can. White head. Lace. Hazy straw yellow.
Lighter for a BS in terms of flavor. Earthy, mango, papaya, and orange peel. Some floral notes. Soft and juicy.
Wishing it was a bit more flavorful but I get that this is a mix of their base ipas.

Pours a lemon straw yellow color with a white head . Smell is herbal and tropical , A mix of 6 different hops in a collaboration of 3 Minneapolis leading breweries . The taste was herbal more than tropical although tasty has a lemon citrus and pine resin finish. Mouth fell is dry with medium hop bittterness , its good but to many chiefs in the kettle on this on.. its well made for sure just not a fan of this one.
