Sante Adairius Rustic Ales

Big nose, full of ripe, tropical fruit, a hefty dose of pine and dank, plenty of stone fruit. Wow, taste gives a burst of watermelon unlike anything I’ve ever had. Also honeydew and cantaloupe, tropical lime, tangerine, all underscored by a classic Sante Adairius malt bill, earthy and rustic. This IPA hits all the right notes, and features a real preponderant display of melon character which, for me, makes it rather unique and special. Riwaka hops are new to me, and, by the evidence here, are worth getting to know better. Another winner.

 

Can dated 1/18/22 With a be well Sara loves you stamp,Poured a golden orange with a significant head.Smell of oranges,lemon,grapefruit,diesel fuel.Taste citrusy ,mostly oranges and grapefruit.Finishes with a dry lingering finish.The initial diesel,dank aromas don’t affect the best characteristics of this beer.It’s taste and mouth feel.

 

 

 

Pours an opaque straw orange color with a sticky, one finger, white head and great, soapy lacing.

The smell is amazing. Orange, lemon, with a bitterness underneath.

The taste has a great citrus hit that quickly shows a bit of pepper before finishing with an earthy and floral flavor.

The mouthfeel is medium body and carbonation with a slightly dry, lingering finish.

Overall, this is a great mix of flavors that blend well together - Delicious and we'll executed.

Can from brewery, ~1wk old.
A: opaque yellow, creamy fluffy head.
S: wine, citrus, diesel.
T: stonefruit, white wine, dank, diesel & rubber, citrus. No alcohol presence.
F: Crisp, refreshing.
Overall: similar to Nelson hop especially considering the fresh diesel danky aspects. May mellow out when not ridiculously fresh, but at the point too much diesel. Call me crazy, but 5+ million years of evolution tell me diesel/rubber=bad flavor. In all fairness it’s more diesel notes than drinking gas.

Thank you Dimidiata for this
