A hazy, juicy, tropical adventure that screams grapefruit bomb! Brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops added at just the right moments to create this flavor bouquet.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Two finger off white head that is creamy and persistent. Slightly less head formation than most IPAs of this style but just smaller. Body color is a muted mix of haze and clarity suprisingly, with even visible reams of light carbonation to be seen.

Aroma is a big bursting hop spicy/sweet note of green herbs, and dank touches. Bit of a chalky sweet sensation also but really adding to the character with a big creamy bent.

Palate hits real nicely. Juiced hop angle with real creamy light texture to go with it. Mid palate hints with light grapefruit but more of a tropical mango and papaya flavor that is very bold. Finish is impressive too, with light touches of mint like tea that gives some soothing warmth and even menthol like sensations. Body is supportive but also has an exceptionally light feel that manages to stay away from being wet and weak.

This is a real solid and impressive NEIPA from this brewery, they should be proud of this one.
