What's on the Can: "West Coast-style India Pale Ale with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Strata hops. 82 IBUs."
What's on the Website: "Clean West Coast style IPA brewed with one of the greatest hop combos of all time, Simcoe & Mosaic. This beer has an assertive yet balanced bitterness and a light body, notes of dank citrus, tropical fruits and a hint of pine."
Hops: Simcoe, Mosaic, Strata.
Where distributed: Ex Novo Brewing distributes to several areas, including the Portland (OR) Metro, Los Angeles, SW Washington. Japan, and San Francisco Bay Area markets. Ex Novo also has a taproom in Corrales, NM.
Smell (25%): Assertive, yet balanced dank citrus and pine. 4.5/5
Taste (40%): A blend of sweet and dank citrus/pine to start. Next wave includes more sweet citrus and citrus peel. 6.8% sounds about right for what I'm tasting, not light and not too much octane. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Some juiciness and slight dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. Maybe it's because I'm having this on a muggy hot day, but Cozy Chaos is appreciated even more today. For me, the right balance of citrus and pine. Ex Novo continues to pump out quality brews. Oh, and a neat can design doesn't hurt. 4.5/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.475/5
