Pours a big time hazy chicken broth appearance, small 2/5" white head on it. Aroma went with the new but already familiar Mosaic and Citra combo. I guess the slight difference I may have gotten on the nose could have been the Eukanot.

I was surprised that the taste went with grapefruit (not exclusively) and there was more bitterness than expected in this looking at the appearance and knowing this is supposed to be the kind of sessionable beer Offshoot was putting out. Perhaps that bitterness is the Eukanot as well, that is usually the one they're doing as lupulin powder these days? A tad bit more sweet than expected. Given the use of oats, I thought this would be smoother and less bitter. It was still enjoyable, but at this price point and the limited pick up windows, I dunno how long this one will be around. Maybe it gets popular as the weather gets real hot. Good, but forgettable.

Poured 16oz can into Snifter. Very cloudy and pale yellow color with a 1.5 finger white head. Some spotty lacing all over the glass. Smell is big on fresh, juicy tropical notes from all the hops. Plenty of mango, pineapple, passion fruit, along with citrus. Some nice sweet honey and minimal malt. Flavor is packed with hops and juicy, very good with some tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple. Nice mouthfeel with excellent carbonation. Very sticky and juicy with a light dry finish. Nice, easy drinking hazy IPA.

Cloudy pale yellow with two fingers of airy, white head that are quick to dissipate. Would be real purty lookin if not for the minuscule crown and almost completely absent lacing.

Light grapefruit is most prominent in the nose, with hints of lemon and soap behind. Quite nice.

Sort of watery tasting up front with fairly strong pithy bitterness on the backend. Not atypical for a session IPA, but I'd prefer more backbone. The bitter grapefruit and slight herbal spice aftertaste are pretty nice though.

A bit more body than I expect from this substyle with strong carbonation.

Fans of northeast session IPAs should have every reason to love this. It's nicely crafted, I just wish it was a regular-strength IPA.

Pours a hazy whitish gold, very little head

Big tropical nose...citrus, pineapple, white peach

Pineapple is the dominant flavor, and a bit of grapefruit...it is more on the "acidic" fruit side, than the "sweet" fruit side.

Incredibly smooth...very little carbonation, but also very little bitterness. Really refreshing.

Definitely a unique, and solid offering.
