What the brewers say

“All Mosaic. Aromas of tropical fruits, dried blueberries, grapefruit, pine.”

What our panel thought

“Notes of apricot, peach, strawberry, lemon, orange, pineapple in the nose with just a hint of pine. The sip swerves, steering a different direction as it leans hard into a piney, earthy, lightly dank profile. Medium body. Finishes with a low lingering bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Orange and tropical-­fruit notes with an overripe-fruit funk in the aroma. Light and lively in the sip with a dry citrus twang that balances pleasure with drinkability.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Eddyline Brewery Epic Day Double India Pale Ale

__Aroma:__ “Orange, pineapple, apricot, cherry, nectarine, and lemon zest with a touch of toasted honey malt to balance. An ever-so-light pine aroma is welcomed.” __Flavor:__ “Citrus and light stone fruit dominate the palate with just enough malt backbone to cut the intense hops character. The body is rich and inviting, but once you sip it, you are reminded that you’re above 10 percent. Medium dank hops flavor profile comes through mid-palate. Honey and caramel come through at the end.” __Overall:__ “A tasty beverage that will slap you around if you forget what you’re drinking. Hops aren’t quite as heavy hitting as some, but the beer itself is well put-together. Crisp finish, noticeable heat, plenty of hops. Would be popular at a party.”

Grand Teton Brewing Company Teton Range IPA

__Aroma:__ “A whole fruit salad of aromas: big orange and pine up front with some pineapple and apricot/peach beneath. Some grapefruit and lemon, and strawberry with a bit of blueberry. Very subtle bready malt.” __Flavor:__ “Clean, hoppy, fairly bitter. Fruity notes of lemon and grapefruit, strawberry, and tropical fruit dominate the palate with some nice piney complexity in the background. Malt bready sweetness, like Belgian waffles. Some grassy earthiness adds complexity. The hops are showcased and are carried with some assertive bitterness that hits, carries through the finished taste, and lingers.” __Overall:__ “Love the tropical fruit notes, and the complexity of the hops profile and flavors is enjoyable. The bitterness was present and carried through but was refreshing. Very drinkable. The aroma on this beer is very cool. The strawberry character is novel.”

Knee Deep Brewing Company Breaking Bud

__Aroma:__ “Clean piney resinous notes with some bright lemon citrus beneath. Hints of candy-like malt. While it doesn’t beat you over the head with aroma, the aroma is fairly big.” __Flavor:__ “Well-balanced pine-forward IPA with some light lemon character and light toasted and bready malt notes supporting. Medium body with a balanced bitter finish that has some fruity notes.” __Overall:__ “A really good American-style IPA. It has none of the fancy, fruity shenanigans but just a straightforward bitter, clean, piney hops profile. Everything comes together and persists nicely on the swallow.”
