Powder Dreams - Citra Lupulin Powder & Vic Secret Hops
Captain Lawrence Brewing Co.

Pours a hazy and turbid golden color with a finger of head. The nose has both citrusy and dank notes. The dominant flavor is overrippened fruits. There is a harsh alcohol bite on the finish, which is surprising since it is only 7.5%.

16 oz can from Tavour. What more can be said about hazy IPAs? While hop selections offer minor fluctuations, theyre all starting to blend into a big indistinguishable blur. Normal look, tropical aroma, hint of dankness in the taste. Juicy? Of course. Easy to drink? Sure. Good, but didn't wow me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazed & effervescent gold with a pinky of cream colored head. Pretty nice head retention & lacing

S: Tropical & citrussy, tangerine mostly, once warm, some mango

T: Sweet orange, a little pineapple , mango & plenty of dryness up front. Orange sweetness & a powdery dryness dominates as this warms, some breadyness & grapefruit with a smidge of mango backfills the edges. Tangerine, dryness, a little pineapple & lime in the finish

MF: Medium body, subtle carbonation, nice balance

Great drinkability, ABV well masked, super solid IPA

Poured into snifter. Fairly hazy but not turbid. Somewhere between golden and amber on the color with a frothy white head. The aroma was medium-intensity, not bad for a 3-month old beer, with citrus and tropical notes. Some bready malt presence as well. The taste was bright tangerine, orange, mango. Again, some bready malt but impressively restrained for the age of this one. Medium clean bitterness that lingered nicely. Medium feel and clean. Would love to get this one fresh, but this is very enjoyable now as well. Thanks Wasatch!

Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice cloudy yellow/orangy color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger white head, which also leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, guave, apricot), pretty nice little diesel like. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, guave, apricot), pretty nice little diesel like. Medium body, ABV is hidden pretty well, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew, even with 3 months on it, glad to see it around here. Orange Julius! Addictive! Milk Shake!
