Hype Forager East Coast Turbid IPA
Trinity Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is very cloudy pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left lots of lacy rings of bubbles around the edge of the glass and a short head covering the surface after it settled down.
S: Light to moderate aromas of orange pith are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, having lots of flavors of orange pith. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This New England IPA isn't quite bursting with flavors compared to others in the style but its appearance is very turbid.

Serving type: can

 

 

Canned 9/21/18; drank 10/25/18 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a huge bright white head; frothy lace.

Mandarin orange, wheat & table sugar notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Mandarin orange & wheat flavors up front; table sugar & faint peanut butter notes on the finish.

Nice enough, but that peanut butter note doesn't really work for me. A pass moving forward.

Had from the can, inverted as instructed. How do they come up with this stuff? Love the creativity. Has a pilsener like bready base with tons of floral and grassy hop notes, serrano pepper, and some light citrus, tangerine and grapefruit perhaps. Sneaky creaminess to the feel to go with sharp hops, herbs, flowers, and grasses. Unapologetic in vision and execution, highly amused

I gave it a bit extra for Look because of the clever label.

Poured into a tulip a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a nice thick/creamy one-finger white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple), slight pine. The taste is hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple), piney. Medium body, ABV is hidden nicely, with a dry/bitter finish. Overall, a tasty brew. A nice thirst quencher.

 

 

Appearance: Pours rather cloudy with a honey color; the modest head fades somewhat quickly, leaving a few strips

Smell: Papaya and tangerine tones

Taste: Tropical fruit forward, with papaya and guava forward; through the middle, the tangerine flavors add a modest citrusy bitterness into the middle; the finish is somewhat juicy

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall; Not sure why they call this an East Coast IPA (perhaps that term no longer means what it used to) as they are clearly going for the Northeast style; this is drinkable, but if you want to go Northeast you need to make it juicier
