Scale of Complexity
4 Hands Brewing Co.

 

Very hazy yellow/orange color with a respectable and lasting white head with some decent lacing. The aroma is pineapple, citrus, possibly mango and stone fruit.
The taste is complex, as advertised, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, cherry with a hint of strawberries and honeydew. The finish is dry with lingering grapefruit zest, moderate bitterness. The body is medium, soft carbonation, smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very nice New England style IPA, plenty of fruit juiciness, interesting and tasty combination, refreshing, very nice.

 

 

 

After the contents of a pint can were emptied into a clear Imperial pint glass some observations could be made. A liquid just a little more yellow than orange juice is now out in the open. It brought with it practically
no head nor lacing. It did bring a good deal of citrusly aroma. The grapefruit aspect dominates the smell and the taste. The carbonation is unappealingly low. There are some bitter characteristics to the finish, but not enough to compensate to the lack of body, nor that it tastes too much like grapefruit juice.

 

 

 

From a tall aluminum can, this brew is a milky, hazy, thick, cloudy straw color. The head is a tall, white, soapy foam. Somewhat fruity aroma, with some sweetness. The taste has hops, fruit, and yeast. Not bad.

 

Released 1/3/20; drank 3/9/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a nice white head; strong, frothy lace.

Grapefruit & baking soda notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Grapefruit & baking soda flavors up front; faint lemon notes on the finish.

This misses the "hazy IPA" mark by a few miles.

 

Pours an opaque milky yellow with a half inch white head that left nice spotty lacing. Smells of peaches and tropical fruits. Tastes of peach, apricot, mango, orange and some caramel sweetness. Medium bodied and carbonated, creamy mouth feel, lingering yet light bitterness on the finish.

 

 

 

I tried this beer at my good friend and old neighbor's house in the 'Wego for his son's high school graduation party. The scent had faint tangerine peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with ripe tangerine fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.

Poured into a tulip glass.

A: Canary yellow, hazy throughout, with about an inch of an off-white foamy head that slowly dissipates.

S: Definitely getting the apricot and peach notes cutting through the hop aromas.

T: Apricot, burnt caramel, some subtle mango and other tropical notes. Bitterness on the finish with some herbal notes, including mint.

M: Creamy, moderate carbonation and medium to medium-full body.

O: Good quality beer. I agree with previous reviewers that the bitterness seems a little out of place on the palate. The burnt caramel note really sticks out for me, which is not my personal preference, but others may enjoy.

Light copper colored and hazy in complexion. There’s a half inch of dishwater white. The nose is of peach and apricot. I’m tasting peaches and apricots along with pineapple. The mouth is smooth and easygoing.
