Project X: Blended Reality

16oz can poured into a Modern Times willi becher

P cloudy pale straw/orange w/ a 1f dense white head; good retention; heavy lace
N bold banana/tropical notes and citrusy juiciness; very inviting; some star fruit in there as well
T big tropical notes and orange over creamy biscuity malt; really solid
Mf med-full to full-bodied w/ soft-med to med carb; supports the profile well
O my favorite hazy from them in quite some time; hits all the right notes; really nicely done!

Pours a super hazed gold with a thumb of cream-colored head. Average ish head retention & lacing

S: Tons of tropical fruit, some citrus & Melon. Pineapple late

T: Guava, passionfruit, tangerine, green melon, & grassyness up front. Hints of pineapple & coconut mix in with guava, dryness, lime, green & melon once this beer is warmer. Finishes with pineapple, guava, passionfruit, oranges & dryness

MF: Medium body, creamy carbonation, great balance & acidity late

So easy to drink & really delivers on the tropical favor

I wish people would avoid using a "random hop sandwich" to make beer. This is a classic case of a ill advised pairing of hops that results in slightly boozy, rotten melon, citrus car crash.

Almost nothing appealing I can isolate in the mix.

 

 

Draft at Boise taproom. Hazy yellow pour, tight white creamy head, rings of lacing. Citrusy aroma, pears. Taste is zesty, grapefruit, pomelo. A little lingering bitterness, creamy.

this bangs pretty darn hard, and after not totally loving the last one thanks to an overdose of terpenes, they are back on track with this one, hops doing the heavy lifting not any new school products, and its brilliantly fresh, one of the better recent releases in this impressive series for sure. relatively darn hazy, but not milky and nasty and without any visible sediment, frothy creamed up white head with great retention, slightly dull really, but appealing anyway. the aroma on this is fire, killer mix of hops here, southern hemisphere fruitiness, springy and alive, galaxy and its limey character lead for me, but i get the nectaron too, albeit more in the taste than the nose, white wine grapes, coconut, kiwi fruit, and honeydew melon all come to mind in the aroma, some cereal grain off dry behind it, somewhat juicy, real fresh. the flavor comes with zested citrus, ripe yellow peach, dried mango slices, coconut water, lemon juice, and orange hard candy, really pleasant, somewhat oily with a little lingering dankness but restrained bitterness. fluffy feeling, wheat and maybe oats too likely in the mash here, feels not dissimilar to others in this series, nothing out of the ordinary but well constructed to hold these hops up, and this drinks somewhat more refined than it looks, like its bold and distinctive but definitely not overdone on the hops, the carbonation is uplifting, and this is really drinkable for the style, excellent overall. this is a series that gets me excited every time a new one drops, and this one delivers. a killer showcase of both galaxy and nectaron, unique enough there to stand out. not to be missed.

Opaque grapefruit color liquid topped by tight white foam of decently log duration. A healthy amount of lacing. Smell =taste. Tropical fruit; guava dominated? A lesser amount of citrus. Very mild carbonation
