RB transfer

Pours cloudy orange. Medium-sized, frothy head. Tropical fruits and malt I aroma. Juicy with moderate hoppy bitterness. A good one, but it resembles APA only by ABV.

16oz can poured into a Level Belgian-style tulip

P- beautiful cloudy pale orange; not much of a head; color is perfect for the style, though
n- soft-med nose of juicy tropical, banana, and citrus notes; hints of lactose sugar; inviting
t- pretty mild profile; soft citrus pairs with lots of neutral biscuity malt; finishes with citrus peel btterness and a slight yeasty kick; meh
mf- full-bodied forward; med-high carb; a bit watery and coating in the finish
o- this one kind of missed the mark for me; pleasant aroma, but bland/boring profile; found it to be on the filling side as well; may have been better when fresh(er)?

A: cloudy; medium gold in color; 1+ finger off white head that receded to a wispy cap; nice lacing;

S: not especially aromatic; what's there is pineapple and vanilla;

T: follows the nose from start to finish; very mild bitterness at the end;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish; soft;

O: different;

 

Pours a hazy golden orange color with a pillowy white head that settled into a light cap with some lacing on the glass.

The aroma is sweet. Notes of melon and tropical fruit. There is a bit of a dank savory scent as well. Seems out of place.

The taste is of light melon, grapefruit rind and pineapple. There are also some onion and pine flavors which seem to clash with the fruity hops.

The feel is moderate on the palate with fizzy carbonation. Starts sweet on the palate but transitions to bitter in the finish.

The hop profile seems to be a cross between a NE IPA and old school east coast IPA. I think it clashes a bit but still a good beer.

 

Pours a hazy light amber with a 2 inch foamy white head, which lasts. Heavy lacing to the end.

Tangerine dominates the aroma. Also, grapefruit, floral.

Taste is tangerine zest, grapefruit, pine.

Medium bodied, light carbonation. Dry, tangy finish.

This is a very good beer.

A nice easy drinking NEIPA that was full of citrus flavors with enough malt backbone to be balanced while also being crisp and crushable. A solid middle of the road IPA that was perfect on the golf course.

12 ounce can into IPA glass, canned on 8/8/2020, best before 2/4/2021. Pours very hazy deep golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense an fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing and moderate streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, white grapefruit, apricot, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, citrus peel/rind, wood, pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium body; creamy/bready wheat, some sticky and resinous hops in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Minimal warming 6.2% or lingering hop burn. Great hop lineup in the commercial description, great softness, spot on for the style. Glad I had more. Need to keep this brewery on my radar.

 

 

From the skinny 12 oz can in a snifter. This SOLID brew pours
a hazed dirty orange juice color with a nice head of white foam
that settles to a thick ring, fat clumping layer, and sports some excellent
lacing. Nose of pineapple, mango, herbal hops, and light pine with
honey and caramel malts. Flavors follow the nose with pineapple, pine,
mango, a bit of lemon zest, herbal hops, and balanced honey sweet
malts. Nice mouth feel; medium body, medium light carbonation,
smooth as can be (oats), and a nice bitter hop / citrus
finish that is nicely balanced with sweet malts.

Overall----Excellence from an excellent brewery!

Cheers

Looks the part, but pretty basic in taste and feel. If you're not standing out in the NEIPA category, you're pretty much a skip for me.
