Dank & Hazy
Motor City Brewing Works

Pretty solid NEIPA.

Described as a
double dry hopped/
double wheat + oat
India pale ale
7.8% abv

Looks like another popular/local favorite in the style.

Murky OJ with a decent lingering
white head. Sticky lacing.
Smells of dank fruit juiciness. Tangerines, peaches, tropic fruit, maybe some passion fruit?
A little boozy but not over done.
Super juicy with full flavors of citrus and tangy fruits. With a hop dankness mouthful follow up. After taste is juicy and wet. Starts off bitter then finishes wet and juicy.

Very well done! Fantastic IPA guys

Excellent choice from Motor City Brewing - totally enjoyable.

Probably their best beer. Not particularly original in its style, but quite good for a NEIPA.

 

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours opaquely hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.8%. Overall this is an awesome NE IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for hte ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Amarillo, Cascade, Citra and Mosaic hops. Extremely juicy and lightly dank hop complexity, with balanced bready malts. Great soft mouthfeel as expected for the style, not too bitter/drying. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Loved the hop profile.
