Voltron Volume Five - Tripping Animals Collaboration
4 Hands Brewing Co.

 

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing on the glass. It smelled of orange, grapefruit, mango and caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with a toasted caramel backbone and pine bitterness.

Pours a hazed straw/gold color with a pinky of beige colored head. Average-ish head retention &lacing

S: Some citrus, white grapes, very muted nose

T: Oranges, white grapes, almost like a porridge-like flavor & pears up front. Tangerine, white grapes & pears as this beer warms up, some cantaloupe too. Finishes like watered down orange/pineapple juice with a little cantaloupe

MF: Medium body, slight carbonation, decent balance, slight acidity once warm

Not a great take on the style, flavors just didn't reach me

Copper colored and hazy in complexion. There’s a fingernail of off white around the rim and covering two thirds of the top. The aroma is of grapefruit and cantaloupe. I’m tasting lots of grapefruit and cantaloupe. The mouth is light and a touch acidic.

Even though I am an unsophisticated beer reviewer, the few number of ratings for this beer compel me to share a few notes. First, the bouquet and aroma are fabulous, just perfect for an early summer afternoon. The taste is pretty much what you expect…meaning, I found it refreshing, not too bitter or hoppy, and no offensive aftertaste. There wasn’t much of a head when I poured it, but that doesn’t matter. It smelled so good. I wanted to dive right in.
