A thanks to the reigning champion of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a very hazy yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, juicy. Taste is grapefruit, lemons, bitter, but not as much as expected from a DIPA. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer, maybe a bit to easy drinking for it's abv.

 

 

 

 

Pale and hazy body; light yellow in color; nice, dense head, kind of soapy in appearance and less than one-finger thick. Delicate lemon and white grapefruit note to the smell. The taste brings out a mild biscuit malt backbone coupled with a tart, peppery note; slightly tart. Medium-heavy in body; prickly carbonation; decently acidic and dry.

This is a fine, light-heavyweight kind of hazy IPA.

This one pours a very hazy and bright looking orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like zesty but dry citrus- orange and grapefruit mainly, with some pine, and a bit of malt.

This is probably the best hoppy beer I've had from Fremont- it's a winner for sure. It's very juicy, but without any overwhelming sweetness- it's dialed back and fairly dry, which works well for me.

This is light bodied, crisp and clean, with a great level of drinkability.

I guess they made this beer exclusively for Tavour users- that's pretty cool. It's a good one for sure.

On tap at Arch Bridge the other day.

The beer pours a peachy orange amber color with good head retention and lacing. The beer smells very nice as well, as I'm pick up noticeable tropical fruit and dry citrus, with considerable pine as well. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely, but the beer really dries out on the finish. The bitterness isn't over the top, and the beer carries it's alcohol very, very well (I was surprised when I saw the abv. was 8.1%). So drinkability is pretty good.

A nice DIPA from Fremont, though I'm not sure it's a standout. Even so, it was nice to have this beer as a palate refresher at the recent Fremont brewing tap takeover at Arch Bridge (which was dominated by BA stouts).

 

11/23/17 - Picked up a fresh growler for Thanksgiving. Popped the seal and served up a few. Dark golden color with wonderful hoppy aromas. Goes down easy. Nice and bitter with little aftertaste. Haphazard lacing on my glass. Awesome hoppy flavors calling me back for another. Nice DIPA. You’d better hurry to get some.
