Hopswitch (Triskel)
Urban Chestnut Brewing Company - Midtown Brewery & Biergarten

 

Pours an effervescent amber with 3 fingers of cream colored head. Sheets of lacing, nice head retention

S: Bready & grassy

T: Follows the nose, white grape & pear up front. Greassy, faint lemon notes, grassyness & pear as this warms. Finishes bready sweet, with pear & slight grassyness

MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, good balance

Drinks more like an English IPA, must be the hop variety, might work better for me in lager form, easy enough to drink though

16oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It left some sticky lacing. It smelled of grapefruit, orange and mango with some piney notes. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel, toffee and a sharp, piney bitterness.

Light, yellow-gold in color with a hazy complexion. The head is white and the lace is clingy. There is a serious dough-like aroma...yeasty, fresh-baked, lightly malty, and a plenty of background earthy hops. The taste is balanced, refined, and wonderful. The dough-like quality continues in the taste, and the hops become more intense...spice and earthy. The Full in body, lightly sweet. Enchanting.

Copper color with a touch of fine sediment suspended within upon close inspection. There's a half inch of frothy dishwater white. I smell grassy German hops and light, bready malt. I'm tasting exactly what I smell with a gentle blend of grassy German hops and delicate light and bready malt. The mouth is light and fairly quaffable for an IPA.

 

Aroma is citrus/fruit, malts and unique/herbal hops. The flavor is citrus, malts/mild sweetness, fruit and a mildly bitter/herbal/slightly spicy/hoppy finish.
