Hand-selected mosaic with a splash of sabro. Expect notes of bright forest-foraged berries with soft cedar and pine notes.

The Sabro is muted, nicely balanced by the mosaic.
Only gets better towards the bottom of the glass.

Canned 7/19/22 (approx. 5.5 weeks ago)
Appearance: Pours a nearly completely hazy (15% clarity) medium orange color with a moderate white head. SRm of 7. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong dank aromas of juniper and blueberries. Foresty. Some sweet pineapple and faint pine notes. A lightly herbal finish. (4.25)
Flavor: Strong and dank. Juicy tropical flavors of forest berries. Blueberries mixed with some sweet pineapple. A light pine note, but ultimately leans sweet on the finish. Slightly perfumey. Not bitter at all. (4.00)
Feel: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation to match. Slightly sweet, but relatively clean and soft. (4.00)
Compared to BlackStack DDH City Pages 8/27/22: Pours a darker color. Similar aromas. Slightly more sweet pineapple. Less citrus herbal notes. Similar foresty blueberry flavors. Slightly sweeter. Overall, very similar. Winner: City Pages by a hair.
Compared to Phase Three DDH Graduated Color 9/2023: Pours darker, midler head. More dank aromas. More dank pine, green herbs, earth. Less grapefruit, lime, lime and pine. Slightly sweeter.
Overall: A nice DDH Mosaic and Sabro combo here. Sort of like blue raspberry mixed with sweet pineapple. The Blue-yellow candy combo. Slightly perfumey. Leans mildly sweet. Drinks well. Better than average, but nothing spectacular. (Rating: 4.04)

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a vary hazy orange amber with a two finger white head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of pale malt, citrus hops, orange, lemon, mild mixed tropical fruit and a touch of grassiness. Flavor is pale malt, citrus and lightly dank hops, orange, light mixed tropical and stone fruit; a little dankness in the finish, which is only lightly bitter. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. Not sure why I picked this up, since it looked like hazy on the label and turned out to be a classic hazy profile of mixed fruit flavors and a soft ddh hop character. Pretty much a typical hazy, NE style IPA, which is not my style. Interesting enough hop bill that should appeal to those who like the soft, low bitterness IPAs.

Canned 4/20/2021 and drank first week of May. This one real bad, note to self do not like sabro hops, I guess. Also extremely weird too thick mouthfeel. Usually can get the wife to drink the ones i don't like but she doesn't like it either. Might try to pass it off on drinking buddies but think it might hurt my rep... Not quite a drain pour but not my thing.

Canned 4/20/21; drank 5/2/21 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big off-white head; thick, frothy tree-rung lace.
Lemon, table sugar & mild dry grass notes in the nose.
Creamy, medium thick mouthfeel.
Lemon, table sugar & dry grass flavors; it's passable, and slightly above average, but not one you'll want to seek out.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on April 30, 2021. Brewed with Mosaic and Sabro hops. Look is hazy. Smell is pine. Taste is fresh berries. Feel is smooth and creamy.
