Picked up a can of this at the brewery today. Shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice golden hazy hude with a thick one finger white head that fades slowly to leave light lacing.

S - Aromas of brighter citrus, little juicy. Hard swirls brings out large vegative spicy earthy oniony Mosaic. Not really getting any Simcoe or Amarillo on this.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with bright juicy, you can tell tht it wants to get melon and stone fruit before the Mosaic hops come in and utterly dominate the entire flavour profile. The citrus stays throughout but right after that there is wave after wave of spicy vegative.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, nicely carbonated, creamy, alcohol hidden well.

O - Overall this was a solid IPA, however, the Mosaic here really clashes with the rest of the beer. I really enjoyed the three other hops but that Mosaic just elbows its way in fiercely

Serving Type: can

Thanks to rudzud, picked up today
Pours a med foamy frothy thicker head with med retention, hazy cloudy med orange-tan color

Nose brings loads of citrus, orange, tangerine, a little mango, tangerine, then a big nose brings loads of pine and green onion mosaic, touch of stone fruit, a little grainy sweet malt

Taste is very creamy and citrus, orange julius, orange cream, tangerine, a little citrus, but a bit of chalky like mineral and pithy, a touch of bitterness, papery like malt, a little grainy doughy malt, flaked oats, a touch of melon and stone fruit, hint of grapefruit notes, then the mosaic comes in and dominates with some green onion and dank pine, mild sticky finish, a little chalky mineral, getting quite melony as it goes, but that dank mosaic

Mouth is med bod, a bit soft and juicy but a little chalky mineral notes, med foamy carb

Overall eh, it has lots of potential but mosaic destroys it like it usually does.
