16oz can from Tavour. Hazy, orange golden pour, skin of head. Fruity aroma with light floralral notes, citrus. Taste is a melange of tropical and citrus fruits with a slight tinge of hand soap. The Galaxy, Citra and Nelson play nicely together. Oats bring a nice silky texture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left some lacing down the sides of the glass and a narrow collar around the edge.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberry and lime are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of lime along with notes of gooseberry and additional hints of peach.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really liked the combination of gooseberry and lime aromas/flavors in this IPA.

Serving type: can

 

This one has a fresh juicy aroma with nice bite and some dankness at the end. It's just a bit on the sweet side but the bite and dankness quickly balance out the sweetness. Grapefruit, berry, and white grape are noticeable on the smell and the taste. Very good beer

 

I'm not sure where I got a can of this beer. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had bitter tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with dank tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on June 19, 2019. A semi-sweet finishing, yet soft and pillowy base lay the foundation for the intense green hop character that these hops bring. The complexity in this one offers notes of stone fruit, exotic tropical fruit, like lychee, citrus, tropical vegetation, and Earthy dankness.

Hazy orangey yellow with a finger of white foam. Tons of melon, orange, sweet grapefruit, pine, and lemon with light grassy hops and pilsner malt. Taste is the same, leaning hard on the melon and sweet grapefruit with some banana too, plus a strong malt presence that stays bright and light. Very crisp in the finish. Feel is crisp, refreshing, highly drinkable, and bright.

 

Poured into a Phase Three ale pint glass. Extremely cloudy color of dark orange juice, thick and creamy head and lacing. Something off about the smell. Kind of a funky malt base under citrusy notes of orange and pineapple. Taste is dank hops, mildly tangy citrus with more grapefruit and pineapple than orange, a strong aftertaste of caramel malt. Medium bodied, mouth watering, clean, crisp. Not great, but another good offering from Phase Three.
