Tiger Shark
Phillips Brewing & Malting Co.

Got this for Olympics hockey this poured great and the taste was really good it has a slight bite to it but that probably gives the beer its own two feet to stand on good beer would get again

 

473 mL can from TBS via the Phillips Octobox. Best before Jan 23 2023 and served slightly chilled.

Pours a clear, effervescent medium gold colour, with two fingers of puffy, foamy white head situated atop. It lasts for five minutes or so, leaving a beautiful coat of delicate lace behind as it recedes down to a fat, creamy collar and sudsy cap. Citrus and tropical fruit on the nose: grapefruit, melon, maybe a hint of grape - very nice so far.

The taste does not disappoint - I'm getting grapefruit and wheaty, grainy pale malts at first, followed by notes of cantaloupe and passion fruit. Stays fruity to the end, featuring a blend of melon, citrus and green, tea leafy hop bitterness that doesn't last long into the dry-ish aftertaste. Light-medium in body, with moderate carbonation; feels smooth and soft, but also crisp. Superb drinkability.

Final Grade: 3.93, a B+. The marketing blurb mentions its lack of a "bitter bite", and they ain't kidding - Tiger Shark is fruity right from the start, and stays that way through to the end. It's too bad I haven't seen singles of this around here, because I'd be buying this on a frequent basis, I think. Possibly my favourite beer in this mixed pack, though I've still got one more brew left to review (Glitter Bomb) before I can say that for certain...

473ml can poured into tulip.

Pours slightly hazy gold with two fingers of off-white head that leaves some spiky lace as it recedes.

Smells of orange and grapefruit peel, fresh biscuit, some pineapple and melon, chalky minerals and some piney green hops.

Tastes of biscuity caramel malt, breakfast table orange and grapefruit, more tropical pineapple, hard water and more sappy pine resin.

Feels soft and silky. Light bodied with frothy carbonation. Finishes dry.

Verdict: Highly recommended. A nice light pale ale with some snappy hops.

Clear pale yellow straw color. Pours a medium height head that quickly turns into an uneven medium and large bubbled mass. The head dropped down to a thin skiff in about a minute. Very low flow of tiny sized bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Some patchy lacing.

A mild but sharp barnyard scent dominates. There is a bit of a mineral chalky scent. There are other funky yeast scents, including a light mildew, and a mild malt. Some floral and citrus (esp orange) scents show up. Swirling the glass kicked up a much stronger and unpleasant barnyard that overwhelmed everything else.

The barnyard and a sour cut grass taste dominate. Some other light funky yeast flavors float around with a bit of malt flavor. The aftertaste is bitter barnyard with the barnyard fading leaving only some light bitters.

Forms a little bit of a coarse bubbled foam along with some tongue tingling.

Pretty average, but due to positives and negatives cancelling rather than being bland. For example: the florals and citrus were nice, but were offset by the excessive barnyard. The flavors and scents seem extremely sensitive to temperature. I noticed big differences between the two cans I had that I could only attribute to the temperature.

Pours a light gold colour, slightly hazy with a small head on top. Sharp hops on the nose. The taste is bitter and hoppy, yet light and crispy, crushable. Nicely carbonated

It may be citrus, but with so much hops, how can you tell?
The hops level is specified at about 4/10 - which makes me question what a 10/10 is like.

Reduce the hops level and maybe I can taste the beer
