Collab - 12 Brewery Collab
Al's of Hampden / Pizza Boy Brewing

 

 

Poured into a 16 oz Troegs Snulip not sure when it was canned, but from the source I got it from I know it is fresh. Pours a slightly hazy yellow orange with a solid inch of sticky white head that leaves thin lines of lace behind.

Smell is mellon, apricot, mango, pinapple, and grapefruit rind.

Taste follows mellon, apricot, tangerine, pinapple, and grapefruit.

Mouthfeel is about medium, lite carbonation, not dry in the slightest, and very approachable for its ABV.

Overall this is a very juicy and tasty DIPA, that hides it's ABV very well, thanks @jzeilinger for this giant can.

Poured from a 32 oz Crowler from Al's.

A - Pours a hazy medium orange gold color with micro-thin lacing and very light carbonation.

S - Nose is resiny tropical fruit: pineapple, tangerine, nectarine, juicy red grapefruit, and some sticky pine.

T - Resiny and fruity from start to finish. Lime, tangerine, nectarine, red grapefruit, loads of tropical presence here - tastes like JuicyFruit in a glass. Finishes fruity with a little bit of pine bite. The 9% ABV is extremely well hidden.

M - Coats the mouth with fruity hop resin. Finishes wet on the palate.

O - This is a big IPA worth seeking out.

Pours a hazy straw color. The nose is reasonably hoppy and piney. The flavor is that of a classic Northeastern IPA. The hop finish is potent but the body is a touch thin for my liking.

 

 

Poured out as a hazy orange yellow color with a white head on top. The smell of the beer is well hopped, lots of citrus and piney resin. The taste of the beer has quite a bit of sticky resin and more tropical fruit flavors going on in there. The feel of the beer is medium bodied. Overall it's a really impressive beer.
