Head Full of Dynomite v.29: Waimea, Centennial, & Amarillo
Fremont Brewing Company

 

 

Poured from a 1 pint can. Canned on 05/23/2021
Pours with a nice thick white head, the nose is dank hops and tropical fruits.
Lot of fruit notes with a smooth finish.
A nice NEIPA.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy yellow pour, small fluffy white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma, tropical, herbal, dank. Taste is recall tropical fruit flavored Life Savers, floral notes, still a bit of dank.

Cloudy amberish brew with abundant foam in the snifter. Lush carbonation fizzes between the tongue and teeth. Piney, soapy smell. Sharp and bitter. The Waimea hop, I read is massive for bittering, but there is some fruit floating on top of that. Tastes of mango and peach with a grainy flavor.

Bitter, woodsy aftertaste stops short of being harsh. This is unmistakeably a hazy, but as with most of these Head Full brews it's quite sippable. From the 16 oz can purchased at the Co-op market in MV. Dated 05/21/21 on the bottom.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, hazy, golden orange color with a good-sized, off-white head of foam. It left sticky patches of lace on the glass. It smelled of guava, mango, pineapple, orange and sweet caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp bitterness.

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a tulip glass.

Look- Pale gold, hazy, small visible particulate sediment, frothy white head, average head retention and lacing.

Smell- Pine resin, earthy, mango.

Taste- Pine resin, spicy, slight mango finish.

Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, moderate astringent finish, low bitterness.

Overall- Enjoyable drinking experience.

Poured into a Tree House glass a very nice cloudy pale yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, nectarine), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, nectarine), pretty nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty brew. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake!

Based on the colors of this pint can's labels this is the v.29 of Head Full of Dynomite Hazy IPA. Pours super hazy and thick, pulpy looking, with an enormous pale yellow head. Big juicy and citrus aroma, too. Oh, but even the head has a bite. Flavor is potent and resinous with pineapple and spiced orange peel. Interesting and tasty.

16oz canned late May and poured into a pub nonic. Beautiful full-on haze in the glass, one of the thicker HfoD offerings I've tried, with a fluffy off-khaki head. The nose and palate hit the spot for me, a bit old-school and thoroughly enjoyable; grassy, earthy spice, orange citrus, grapefruit, pine, funky, moderate present bitterness, smooth fluffy body. Another winner.

Canned 5/23/21, consumed 7/4/21 from a tall tulip glass. Hazy gold with about two fingers of very persistent white head and the head covered the liquid entirely until I drained the glass sometime later. Lots of sticky lacing. Overall, a classic hazy example in appearance. Mostly fruity smell that was a nice prelude to the similar flavor. Can't put my finger on the tropical fruit but the nondescript fruity flavor was nicely balanced by the mix of hops that added the faintest bit of bitterness. The mouthfeel was a bit on the thin side of medium, and the carbonation was fine as opposed to too fizzy and just the right amount. Overall I am very happy with this one, especially if you are looking for a variation from the common "citrus" dominant hazy IPA profile and if you put value in persistent head that leaves nice lacing.

16oz can (dated 5/17/21) poured into 16oz tulip. Poured a fully murky and dense orange color with an inch+ of white head that had moderate retention and lacing.

The scent was all frooty hops with no malt/grain. Same on the tongue, with a bit of hop bite on the back end.

The body was a bit fuller than is typical for the style, but was still on the thin side. Drinkability will depend on how well you like the style, it's a one-and-done for me. Overall, another average mukbomb.

Very hazy, fruity aroma. Light head. Sticky lacing. Good carbonation. Mild bitterness, you get good flavor of mango, tangerine and a hint of grapefruit. Moderate ABV.

16oz can served in a big snifter. Dated 05/17/21. Bought it at a Total Wine last weekend.

Pours hazy amber/gold with a medium sized head and a medium or less amount of active carbonation. Smell tropical fruit, melon, and a little floral.

Taste is less tropical fruit, and more pith and resinous. Quite bitter. Mouthfeel is medium. Overall, very nice beer.
