Deep amber with visible carbonation and next to no head retention. Tropical and floral on the nose, pineapple from the mosaic and the I don't know what from the Azacca hops. Furthermore stone fruits are there like plum and peach and a hint of Clementine. Pillowy soft with a full body and a quick finish. It has a tang to it and finishes almost dry. I'm not overly familiar with Azacca, when I've had it previously it's been party to a busier blend of hops, so having it share the stage with Mosaic is new. Pineapple is very subdued and overtaken by a tangy apricot and plum, there's no citrus sharpness, but a hint of sweetness and it's bitter like a conserve. Quite thick in texture, it's a big boy and you can't taste the alcohol explicitly nor is there any heat. Clocking in at 7.8% ABV. This brew is something a bit different whilst still a New England, I assume it's attributed to a large proportion of Azacca.

Canned on 3.5.2020 Temperature: +9 C Yellow, cloudy, very juicy looking brew. Tall, airy head leaves behind some lace. The head could be denser: 4,25/5 The aroma is definitely faded. Still, dank pineapple supported by tropical fruitiness and even some bubblegum aroma. This is also heavy with citrus. I just wish I'd had this couple weeks younger: 4/5 Mouthfeel is medium-full, solid malty backbone! Nicely soft with a medium-high bitterness. The bitterness is clearly here but IMO it could be even stronger. After all, this is an Imperial IPA. Now it just doesn't quite feel like it: 3,75/5 Taste is dank, with citrus, pine, and tropical fruitiness. Also a slightly malty taste most likely from a combination of Vienna, oat, and wheat: 11/15 Pretty good beer. Sadly, the age is showing here and the hoppy aromas and flavors aren't that fresh anymore. Still, a dank character saves this a lot, and perhaps it is even more pronounced due to beer's age. Not the most aggressive Imperial IPA but a decent one still: 15,5/20 =38,5/50

Tuoksussa makeahkoa kivihedelmäistä trooppisuutta ja jopa marjaisuutta. Suutuntuma hiilihappoinen, runsas, raikas ja vaahtoava. Maussa sitrusta, greippiä, guavaa, kivihedelmiä ja makeutta. Makupaletti ei juuri sitä mikä toimii parhaiten itselleni, mutta oikein kivan runsas dipa.
