What's on the Can/Website: "Time is already gone... Throw your mind away and fall into the sea of Galaxy & Mosaic hops obsessively layered in this New-American Hoppy Ale. Bursting with aromas of eternal existentialism, ripe stone fruit, consciousness exploration, mystical grapefruit flesh, mango-nectar, and resinous proton waves! There are some people on earth. They live with separate minds. Dissolve your body today. There is no more outside." Read more here!

REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head; good lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Sweet tropical-citrus; mix of grapefruit and mango. Complementing oaty malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Mix of resin, trace octane, and tropical stone fruit to start. Octane goes away rather quickly and doesn't ruin the experience. Mango and resin stick around for a bit. Aftertaste reminds me of grapefruit peel. Bitterness kept in check very well; lots of juicy citrus there. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Very juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding Double IPA. Another kickass beer from a brewery specializing in the New England-style IPA. Huge fan of the abundant tropical while retaining lovely drinkability. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.475/5
