Enchantments (Temple)
Icicle Brewing Company

 

I think the review from draheim nailed it. A really solid Hazy IPA from Icicle Brewing. Been to the brewery several times when in Leavenworth and have been impressed by their offerings. Saw this at Town and Country grocery and glad I went for it. Better than many beers in a can. Still would say their offerings from the tap are better when in Leavenworth. (And a great location to boot!) Wound up picking up a case from Costco. No regrets.
Also to. The Enchantments. On the bucket list. Been to Colchuck lake several times. What an awesome place!

16oz (canned 8/9/2022) into a tulip. Pours a hazy pale dull yellow with a nice frothy white head.

Aroma is bright clean tropical citrus, Simcoe and Citra evident. Orange, grapefruit, even a hint of juicy peach.

Taste is likewise a crisp punch of citrusy hops layered over a base of sweet dry pale malt. Juicy mandarin orange, sharp pink grapefruit. Brightly acidic.

Mouthfeel is soft and on the heavy side of medium, a bit sticky. Malt bill might be somewhere between a regular IPA and a DIPA. Finishes clean and semi-dry.

Overall a really nice, straightforward IPA. Nothing especially unique or fancy, just solid all around.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy yellow golden, soft white foamy head. Citrusy aroma, oranges, grapefruit. Taste leans harder on the grapefruit, milky notes, sweet, mellow bitterness.

Very, very solid offering considering it was canned later June - hazy orange body with moderate cap of off-white head...lots of resiny, juicy tropical fruit with some impressions of weedy diesel. Nice hoppy offering, well-executed.

this is hands down my favorite of the hoppy stuff from icicle so far, an awesome and distinctive hazy beer that is both more unique on the hops and more refined feeling to me than any of their others, frankly a league ahead of most of them, this is the side of this brewery i have been hoping to see! great hops here, a mix of mosaic, citra, and simcoe, along with the new experimental 586 which seems poised to take the world, at least the northwest, by storm. its neat to see what it can do here alongside some other varietals, mango and juicy orange notes in the nose meet pineapple and juniper and something lush like aloe or cactus, simple on the grain side too, not light, but minimal to me in the aroma and then in the flavor, supporting but dry and more about structure than taste. i get orange candy, fresh peach, dried apricot, even a hint of coconut flesh to this, juicy but different, daffodils or something polleny too, cereal grain, high terpene pungency to these hops, the 586 makes this distinct, some grapefruit and sativa as this warms, very little sweetness anywhere in it. refreshing when ice cold, but it warms up really well, more dynamic later, lemongrass, clementine, culinary herbs, delicious. creamy feel but carbonated well enough to be a fast drinker, even though its has some body. overall this is exceptional, nice flow to the hops, great texture, its own energy, more like this please!

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a tulip glass.
