Team Cat
Anchorage Brewing Company

Pours pale, grapefruit color that is hazy with a moderate head. The aroma is bright citrus reminiscent of pineapple. The flavor, however, is a mix of grapefruit and tangerine rind with a slight bitter finish.

Pale, whitish-yellow body; thick and frothy white head. Mellow citrus notes, lime and white grapefruit; fresh fruit. Light malt base with biscuit undertones; light citrus flavor and very nuanced bitterness. Light texture to the body; dry overall; a bit of acidic bite, but not too much.

It would be easy to dismiss this beer as lightweight and underwhelming, but to me, it brings some subtlety to the palate and beer drinking experience. The smell and taste are fairly fresh yet everything has a rather subdued note about it. It's interesting and one that I actually enjoy due to its dialed-down intensity over what many NEIPA / hazies bring to the table.

 

Slightly thin body with about medium carbonation.
Aroma was a really nice mix of bitter earthy hops, grapefruit peel and fruit, orange, buckwheat grain and honey.
Taste was dry, bitter hops as well as bitter grapefruit peel and fruit. Slightly floral with a bit of grain.
Overall a really well done interesting beer

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 2/12/21, so a little over 2 months old. Tavour shipment.

Looks very good in the glass. Hazy, slightly glassy pear juice yellow body. Bright foamy white head shrinks to a thick ring and covering, leaving interesting lacing.

Dry hopped aroma, with a dull citrus hit.

On tasting, mild dry hopped pepper taste, on the dry side, fruit notes come in later in the drink, some light bitterness around the edge of the tongue. Abv shows up late as well

Mouth above medium, finish lightly fruity dry bitterness.

Overall, solid beer, nothing outstanding, but well put together. Sorry to only have the single.

 

 

 

 

 

16oz can from Tavour. Milky yellow pour with a small foamy head, solid chunk of sediment plops into the glass. Aroma, like Team Dog, is a mixture of things, with a lean towards citrus. Taste is light citrus, lemon, oranges, with a full, thick creamy, bready texture. Hoppiness a bit more subdued than Team Dog. Plenty juicy though. This is a close call, with edge going to... Team Dog!

if you are in to cool labels - this is the brewery- team cat and team dog are a great set of label set and a great set of ipas . with galaxy, strata and motueka hops ( this is a new one for me) great hop taste all thru the drink and great hop after taste

 

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of basil-like herbs are present in the nose along with notes of lime citrus.
T: The taste follows the smell, but the flavors of basil are subdued and there are additional hints of honeydew melon. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied on the palate and has bits of crispness and juiciness with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer isn't nearly as juicy compared to other NEIPAs but it lacks an
