swamp juice #18, a blend of canuck pale ale and the maniacal hopshop IPA. 12oz draft pour at the brewery, nov 4 2015. because all swamp juices are different, i'd create unique listings for each beer once i can get more information about them
a: hazy light orange with white head
s: grains, white bread, cantaloupe, orange, pine, grapefruit
t: follows the nose exactly with additional strong piney marijuana flavours and a moderate bitterness
m: creamy medium feel with medium-minus carbonation and a strong drying sensation at the end
o: a delicious, super dank and hoppy IPA that is kept in balance by an ample malt presence

Poured a nice pale Amber with a white head, that leaves a trail of lace.
Smelled of orange, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, floral notes and slight malt biscuit.
Taste is sweet orange and mango balanced by bitter grapefruit giving way to sweet tangerine. It finishes dry with floral and bitter herb. Very nice.

On draft at Rib Eye Jacks in Burlington. I enjoy this beer. Great hop flavors with a nice malty backbone. Great balance. My palette isn't good enough to tell guava and papaya from citrus but it's a solid beer. If I could buy it in the USA I would.

Pint served on tap at Rib Eye Jack's in Burlington. This beer was labelled Swamp Juice #16, as I gather a number of different batches have been made, and while they are mostly similar, they are never quite the same.
Appearance - Rich golden color with orange hues. Nice finger of white head on top and plenty of lacing. Some clarity and some lively bubbles in action.
Smell - Quite tropical, but more in the grapefruit and papaya vein as opposed to orange, pineapple or melon. A couple whiffs had me reminded of their Limp Puppet IPA, the resemblance is striking.
Taste - Again tropical some grapefruit and papaya or guava, not quite exploding on the tongue with flavors like some of their other IPA's but still big flavors and ridiculously easy to enjoy. A little bit of sweetness, but only in the finish the way a good tropical IPA usually does.
Mouthfeel - Smooth, well carbonated with a lighter than expected body for a 7.3% ABV.
Overall - Another damn well crafted IPA from GLB. What else is there to say about these guys.
