Yellow-orange pour with a bubbly white cap. This beer is all Mosaic, but has a lot of character for a one hop Imperial IPA. The nose is sweet--berries and blood orange. It's not a dense beer, more of a moderate mouthfeel. Flavors straddle the fence between sweet and bitter. Sweetness is a berry contribution, while bitter comes from a touch of citrus. Overall though, this beer leans sweet but is in no way cloying. Nice balance.

 

Full disclosure, huge fan of the hops, but not a Hazy IPA guy. I was gifted the can, which was purchased fresh from the brewery.
Poured into Pro Pig IPA glass, the muddled cloud that is hazy DIPA, but an appealing vibrant, electric orange haze. Very thin, tiny-bubbled-head that did not linger. No lacing.
Aroma, like appearance is muddled, but orange citrus/Julius is apparent.
Taste follows along...muddled, though somewhat appealing.
Mouthfeel is, as per the style, low carbonation, thick, and not that pleasing as it goes along.
Good for the style, and along the lines of EQ and TH.

 

 

 

 

Had this again today, so I’m updating my review. From a 16oz can dated 09/27…..2023. Amazingly dank nose which pretty much dominates the smell. Lovely on the palate with mildly bitter finish and very smooth. Excellent NEDIPA.
