Poured from a 16 ounce can into a tulip glass.

Look- Pale gold, very hazy, opaque, no visible particulate, very frothy white head, above average head retention and lacing.

Smell- Clementine, melon, peach, pineapple, medium strength of scent.

Taste- Clementine, peach, pineapple, pithy, melon, high strength of flavor.

Feel- Full body, average carbonation, very slight astringency, moderately bitter, very creamy, mildly dry finish.

Overall- Look was a great very hazy pale gold with above average head retention and lacing. The bouquet was pleasant and well balanced, my only complaint was it’s medium strength. The flavors melded together almost perfectly with vibrant strength. The feel was full bodied and very creamy with only a slight astringency. Overall this beer was really good and provided a wonderful drinking experience that exceeded my expectations.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical, citrus hops, with notes of passion fruit, mango and grapefruit. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly dank hops, with tropical and citrus notes of passion fruit, mango, grapefruit and tangerine, as well as hints of peppery weed. Finishes with a light bitterness and some passion fruit, grapefruit and weed lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This makes for a very nice, albeit a little one-dimensional NEIPA that's mostly your typical fruit salad offering, but there is decent dankness to this that spices things up just a little, although I had expected a little more of that from the combination of Citra and Strata, to be honest. There sure is a strong passion fruit vibe to this from the combination of Galaxy and Strata though, which comes through quite bright and vibrant, among other tropical and lighter citrus notes. Overall, this makes for a very enjoyable, quite juicy example of the style, although mouthfeel could be better and I actually much prefered the German NEIPA I just had by Atelier VRAI.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a very hazy golden orange color with a creamy oatmeal colored head that provides substantial lacing. Dank citrus notes on the nose, with tangerine, grapefruit, mango, and pineapple most prominent, and a hint of gummy bears as well. Very nice.

The tangerine and grapefruit are forward on the taste and delicious, with mango and pineapple as well and that gummy bear note as well, which is pretty cool because I absolutely LOVE gummy bears.

The mouthfeel is medium, creamy, and pillowy. This is, like so many of the TG hazies, very well executed. I’d love to see them venture back to the non-hazy side a bit, as they were when I first encountered them in 2014, just to change things up a bit, because they’re a bit formulaic.

But make no mistake, this is an excellent hazy.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth recently for about eighteen dollars. My twenty fifth brew reviewed from these guys. Very good.

16oz can into a pint glass.
L: Pours thick gold apricot color w a 1"+ rounded & creamy off white head w good retention, low carbo, sticky lacing.
S: Citrus, citrus zest, tropical fruits, floral, alcohol as beer warms.
T: Orange, tangerine, kumquat, mango, moderately sweet, sweetbread, caramel malts, a fair amt of alcohol as beer warms.
F: Juicy & very plush, soft and whipped med-bodied feel w a med-long finish that is not too dry. There is a slight linger.
O: A slightly lighter in body brew for TG and not as full flavored as other DIPAs from them but is is very citrusy, gushing and is dignified with an inviting flavor and feel. Outstanding but overpriced.

 

Pours a hazy light orange with a 2F head and moderate lacing.

Smells of slightly dank floral, grassy hops and citrus.

Tastes of slightly tart grapefruit , orange and a bit of cantaloup with a mild bitter finish.

Medium light body with light carbonation. Dry mouthfeel.

This is a moderately juicy, delicious, well balanced and mild-mannered brew.

very aromatic! super creamy head!

Please keep your hands inside the cart at all times because the tastebuds are in for quite a ride. Toppling Goliath partners up with North Park Beer Co. to bring a taste of Citra and Strata to add to the thrill.

Glowing softly through a diffused golden orange, Dino Park sets off with a creamy white crown and a tantalizing scent of candied citrus, complementary tropical and stone fruit with spicy herbal scent. But setting a calmer and sweeter tone to start, a taste of pastry crust is mild with caramel and honey.

As its creamy sweetness twists and turns through the hops, the fruity impressions are given extra plumpness from the lingering malts. Those characteristics lead to a highly identifiable taste of tangerine, mandarin orange and kumquat with a backdrop of mango, apricot and peach. Staying fruity but also trading juiciness for bitterness, the taste of orange peel carries a fragrant spice with tea, grasses, hemp and spruce to finish is an ideally balanced taste.

Medium full to start but finishing bittersweet and drying, the beer is simply a thrill ride for the tastebuds and as soon as the glass is finishes you wanna get back in line and do it all over again.
