Enchantments (Version 5: Talus)
Icicle Brewing Company

 

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a tulip glass.

Look- Hazy, medium gold, frothy white head, average head retention and lacing.

Smell- Melon, pineapple, passion fruit.

Taste- Pithy, melon, passion fruit, earthy, slightly watery flavor.

Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, soft, low bitterness.

Overall- Flavor was much weaker than I would have expected from the vibrant bouquet.

16oz tallboy can purchased at Main Market for $3.89. According to the stamp on the bottom of the can, this was canned on February 10, 2021.

Poured into an IPA glass, this was an opaque, tangerine shade of amber. Spotty, eggshell white lace.

Aroma was of tropical fruit-like hops, with a little bit of pineyness as well.

Flavor is pretty much like the aroma. It starts of with a mango-like fruitiness that transitions into a more bitter taste that evokes a pithy grapefruit citrusyness and a light, oily pineyness, but retains a certain amount of sweetness throughout, ending with a mild dryness.

Medium bodied, with a soft, almost creamy mouthfeel.

As hazies go, it's pretty tasty and quite easygoing. I could see myself having several. My still-limited exposure to Talus is making me think I like this hop.
