Dissatisfied
2nd Shift Brewing

 

Pours a moderately dark orange with an opaque translucency. Head is two and a half fingers of white foam. Aroma is mango, papaya, grapefruit, and tangerine. There is a little orange zest mashed in there as well. Flavor profile hits mango, papaya, grapefruit, and orange zest. There is a heavy biscuity, mild bready malt behind alongside fruity and spicy yeast. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a pillowy, semi-creamy texture. Overall, good tropical fruits with some malt and yeast play just beyond.

Served in a 2023 AM membership glass from a 16oz can.

From a skull-labeled twelve ounce aluminum can, this brew is a very hazy orange colored liquid. The head is white and firm, with just a little staying-power. The aroma has musty hops and a little funk. The aroma continues through the taste...some fruit (juicy and tropical), and some funk. Full and hefty, intense and fruity. This beer is a whirlwind. I prefer a cleaner beer, but this one is interesting.

Pours hazy with little foam. Aroma is primarily orange zest with some pineapple. Has a full mouthfeel. Pretty smooth, not much aftertaste. Very drinkable for a two month old DIPA.

Pint can poured into a glass. Just exactly what I’m Looking for in a double New England style IPA. Complex fruity and hoppy aroma and flavor, very enjoyable.

 

 

 

Copper to dull gold in color with a hazy complexion. There’s an inch of frothy off white on top. It dissipated to a fingernail with a few minutes. Light, soapy lacing is present. The aroma is of floral, and lemon hops. I’m tasting floral hops with some melon and cantaloupe. The mouth is resinous and there’s a moderate hop burn on the tongue.

poured from a 16oz can into a narrow gauge willi becher pint glass. a gentle pour right down the center of the glass yields a murky orange with over three fingers of frothy white foam head. huge explosion of tropical fruits on the nose. i mean this is like sliced cantaloupe, mango and oranges served with breakfast. i would almost believe someone if they told me this was conditioned on or brewed with fruit or fruit purée. almost no real hoppiness to the nose - just a pleasant juice bomb. taste has a lot of that ripe tropical fruit flavor that the nose had but with a slightly pronounced bitterness and a touch of sweetness (lactose?) to it. taste falls off just a little bit on the finish. nothing offensive, just a tad bland. medium-full mouthfeel; carbed a little in the lower side but this does not at all drink like 8%. really tasty DIPA from these guys. i have not had an IPA by them in quite some time. highly enjoyable.

Poured a cloudy orange body with two-finger head that slowly died. Aroma is both tropical and grainy hoppiness with something like bread malt as well. Smooth, fluffy, sweet malty taste like caramel and toffee that balances with tropical fruits and there is no bitterness in this beer. Easy to drink and clean finish and a beer that is worth trying.

 

 

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a good-sized, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sticky patches of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, mango and berries with a sweet caramel presence. Great tropical fruit taste with a sharp bitterness and malty backbone.

 

 

Recently in Saint Louis and found this instead of its cousin Art of Neurosis. It is very similar, but in my opinion better. Definitely a New England hazy IPA. Very drinkable with a meal or by itself.
