(4/5) Aroma: juicy tropical fruit, citrus, melon/berry, lactose, cereal grains, hint of dank cannabis. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (9/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration finish. (4/5)
A locally-made world-class hazy IPA canned two weeks ago? I’m SO spoiled… The brewer describes the hopping as “a Mosaic-heavy hop bill that includes a juicy experimental from Yakima Chief (Mosaic 701) and some supporting Nelson Sauvin”. I’ve called the sweetness level moderate here, though it might edge just slightly higher than that – but it’s definitely not as high as one might expect give the super juicy and sweet aromas. Helluva nice beer. (17/20)
This will be my 5,837th unique Untappd check-in.
