Strata Casting
Three Heads Brewing

On tap at Locals Only in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a somewhat oxidized looking dark orange color, slighly hazy, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This doesn't smell great. I get muddled/stale hops, vegetables, pine, grass, and stale bread.

This has a lot that's gone wrong here. The supposed "juicy" hop flavor is thin, muddled, and just astringent, with too much old malt character, and just kind of a very overripe fruit character. This has basically nothing to recommend to it.

This is slick and thin bodied, with a typical level of carbonation. It's not super drinkable.

Saying that 3HB is bad isn't really a hot take at this point. This is yet another disappointing beer from their new brewery. They were somehow better when their beers were being brewed by Custom Brewcrafters of all people.

Poured in a pilsner glass. A nice clear copper with a thick, long lasting white head that had good lacing. Gave an almost grapefruit like scent. Taste was crisp with a good hop bite that wasn't too overpowering. Overall I enjoyed the beer even though IPA's are not my favorite style.
