No canning date
Aroma: Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (5% clarity) light and pale dusky yellow color with a strong white head that lingers. SRM of 5-6. (4.25)
Aroma: Strong aroma of lemon peel, passionfruit, some mango, pineapple floral notes. (4.00)
Flavor: Flavors follow with lemon peel, mango, pineapple. Hints of coconut and bubblegum. (4.00)
Feel: Medium bodied, appropriate carbonation, finishes, zesty, yet tropical with a smooth, underlying sweetness. (4.00)
Compared to Phase Three Dimensional Drift 3/26: Pours identical, similar aromas. More lemon peel. Less orange, berry, earthy notes. Overall somewhat similar.
Overall: Interesting hop combo with Strata, Simcoe, and Talus. Definite grapefruit, lemon peel, mango notes from Strata. Hints of coconut from Talus, and then a smooth tropical note from Simcoe to smooth it out. Excellent. (Rating: 3.97)

I got a tall boy can of this beer from Flight in Downtown Yorkville, Illinois whilst hanging with my Oswego Posse. It poured a hazy golden with white head that is leaving some nice lace. The scent had ripe citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle sweet malt base with ripe sweet citrus presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Canned 3/22/21; drank 4/1/21 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque dull orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big off-white head; thick, frothy tree-rung lace.
Fresh flowers, orange peel, mild ganja & faint wheat notes in the nose.
Creamy, medium mouthfeel.
Peach and orange peel flavors up front; mild cream, mild ganja & faint wheat flavors on the finish.
This is balanced & quite tasty; one of the better IPA's I've had from Phase Three!
