Bunny Hill IPA
Almanac Beer Co.

 

Pours a mostly bright & effervescent gold with some chill hazing & a pinky of beige head. Okay retention & lacing

S: Peaches & strawberries, green melons

T: Green melon, limes, grapefruit & dryness up front. White grapes, some pomelo, dryness & some nectarine. Finishes dry with white grape & nectarine

MF: Medium body, lively carbonation, some acidity to this, pretty good balance, body lightens up as this warms, okay balance

Gidd drinkability, but nothing special here

 

 

Pours a foggy orange melon with a finger of head that settles to a thin cap with some lacing. Juicy mango and citrus aroma. Taste follows nose. Full bodied.

On tap in a standard pint glass.

Thick juice look, pale mango straw color. Snow white cap that lasts and leaves a wall of lacing rings.

It smells like a juice mix. There are notes of light malt and pine.

Grapefruit and orange flavors, tropical, too.

Chewy medium body. Juice and resin. The finish brings a little wheat feel and resinous hop profile.

Decent neipa with West Coast touch.

 

Purchased at my local TJs. Pours pale and hazy with a pillowy head. Aroma was slightly fruity and piney, dry hops were very present. Taste was light as they say on the can "like freshly fallen snow" - slightly creamy mouthfeel with a clean hop bittering finish. A nice hazy that isn't too heavy, almost a lawn mower (snow blower) hazy. Check it out!

 

Translucent ( not opaque) haze, gold color, 2-finger white head receding to a small island of thin foam plus a ring around the edge of a tulip glass. spotty lacing. Nose and taste are honeydew and some apricot. not getting the advertised citrus rind. Very smooth mouthfeel, mild carbonation, medium body, clean finish. …and one of the most festive can labels anywhere.

For the record, it's called a "Hazy IPA" and it looks and tastes hazy to me. Dry hopped with Cashmere and Simcoe. Slushy and appealing carbonation. Aromatic with melon and citrus. Juice-bomb flavors of orange, lemon and grapefruit pith.

Overall this is a better than average juicy NEIPA. But still tastes too much like acidic orange juice with an unpleasant bitter edge. From the 16 oz can purchased at Almanac tasting brewery in Alameda. Dated 12/30/21.

 

 

 

Like bad juice.
