TASTING NOTES

Collective Arts Life in the Clouds

TropicalHoppyHazy

Life in the Clouds hits you with a thick, almost creamy mouthfeel right away. The haze is dense and opaque, and you get immediate citrus and stone fruit notes—think peach nectar and grapefruit zest—that linger longer than you'd expect. There's a subtle sweetness underneath that keeps it approachable, but it's got enough hop character that you know exactly what you're drinking. It finishes soft, not dry, which is the move if you're settling in for a few.

Cosmic Cattle

TropicalHoppyHazy

Cosmic Cattle is noticeably cleaner in the glass—still hazy, but with slightly better definition. The nose is herbal and citric without being loud about it; it's more restrained than Life in the Clouds. On the palate, it's drier, with a pinch of bitterness that shows up on the back end and gives the beer a bit of structure. The 6.5% ABV means it drinks lighter, leaner, which some people prefer. It's the kind of beer that works just as well on a weeknight as it does at a weekend session.
