3 hops (Waimea hopburst, Krush & Citra Cryo)
3 sip rule ..
Mixed aroma of fruit & herbal pine. Expectations of a full body & hazy fruit flavors don't materialize until sip 3 kicks in. Flavors of orange & multiple other citrus fruit then become dominant. Medium carbonation & bittering keep all aspects completely balanced.
Looking at this craft it keeps its IPA promise. From a hazy standpoint flavors wait until a bit warmer. Patience is rewarded with a quality craft

3 hops (Simcoe, Mosaic & Vic Secret)
Vic Secret is a higher Alpha hop which lends toward a bit more bittering than some hazy fans may have experienced but don't despair. Its flavor aspects pairs well with its counterparts. Pineapple aroma lets you know Vic Secret is in control with tropical flavor note. From the start the bittering backbone pushes all fruit notes along in each sip & ends again out front. Body is full. A bit danker in flavor due to the tropical fruit nature.

3 sip rule ...
3 hops ( Mosaic, Citra & Galaxy)
Bright fruit aroma blends into earthy Mosaic aspects & citrus bittering which is light. This then surrenders to flavors of citrus, peach & light pineapple & recedes to a backround role of keeping balance in a soft body.
All contributions from these hops are on full display in a well developed craft

3 hops ( Chinook, Sabro & Strata)
This begins with a mild West Coast aroma nuanced with light fruit & a malt presence. Chinook bittering provides the entrance into medium carbonation with Sabro mid sip fruit notes. Holding the sip makes this more identifiable. Strata is our end to each sip giving herbal & spice aspects. Blending becomes apparent as this warms.
The somewhat crisp body makes this lean a bit towards a West Coast style when cooler & becomes closer to the hazy side thereafter

2 hops (Pink Boots Blend & Citra)
Deep citrus & herbal aroma. Medium carbonation & light bittering. Sip 2 produces a soft flavor aspect that leans peach, orange & subtle sweet candied notes which dominate blending into the herbal/pine accents that factor into each sip end. A softer body props up all the above

1 hop (Mosaic)
Complete Mosaic aroma of fruit & earthy components. 1st sip is a blend of the same. Earthy with light bittering & a fruit citrus ending. Carbonation is light & body crisp yet pleasingly soft. Entire craft remains the same start to finish using this hop, malts & conditioning in unison

5 hops ( Galaxy, Lotus, Nelson, Citra & Phantasm)
What seems a dank aroma is not indicative of future events. While this starts off a bit bitter & carbonated this gives way to multiple flavor aspects. Most prominent seem to be Phantasm, Nelson & Lotus giving us mixed tropical & candied notes with the other actors chipping in citrus contributions late into each sip. A subtle vanilla ending is a nice touch. Body is soft & engages all the above. Colder was preferred.

4 hops (Strata, Nelson, Citra & Riwaka).
Riwaka tropical fruit aroma with notes from its partners. Medium carbonatio & light bittering. Flavor aspects of all 3 hops blend as you venture in wu=ith Nelson being most identifiable (grape) & citra (orange) with Riwaka (tropical) layered in Strata provides the light spiced ending & balance with a light dry finish. All aspects (body, carbonation & flavor ) are light keeping this easy to consume.

4 hops (Citra Columbus, Nectaron & Cash mere)
Tropical fruit aromas impart a hazy IPA start. Multiple flavors from all hops blend into the body & remain intact throughout. Light carbonation & bittering. All hop contributions are on display with Columbus light bittering qualities being the balancer thereby avoiding a juice bomb.
Enjoyably mellow would be the term start to finish as this style should be.
