Cabin Brewing Company Max Sat Tropical Hazy IPA – American IPA at 8.5% ABV (C$6.25 at Collective, 568 ml, packaged on 20-Feb-2026, acquired 29-Apr-2026, reviewed 5-May-2026)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of fine pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, mild coconut. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration slightly warming finish. (4/5)
Mosaic cryo hops, Dynaboost and Hyperboost. Unsurprisingly similar to the Max Sat Juicy Hazy that was released about the same time, except the fruit tends more tropical than stone. I also get a little bit of coconut here, which isn’t something I typically associated with Mosaic – but I also couldn’t find proper brewer notes, so maybe there’s some other variants in there as well. It also feels just a tiny bit more warming than the Max Sat Juicy Hazy – which is surprising, since this one has a marginally lower ABV. In any case, yet another solid performer from a reliable brewer. (16/20)
This will be my 6,395th unique Untappd check-in.
