Friday Night Dice
Pipeworks Brewing Co.

Canned 9/2022:

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, medium to light pale orange-golden color with a mild white head. SRM of 8.

Aroma: Moderate aromas of orange citrus, tropical melon, berries. Juicy and somewhat resinous.

Flavor: Strong flavors of ornage citrus, melon, berries. Juicy, resinous, sweet. Somewhat earthy. Relatively dry

Feel: Medium-bodied, smooth and clean finish on the palate. (4.25)

Compared to 3 Floyd's Cheer Team Ale 12/2022: Pours lighter, milder aromas. More melon, berries, Mosaic notes. Less juicy grapefruit and pine. Slightly more resinous.

Overall: A nice and clean IPA here. Showcases the Mosaic well with resinous citrus, tropical melon and berries. Yet dry, crisp, and very drinkable. (Rating: 3.80)

 

My first impression on the aroma was cantaloupe and muskmelon. But that seems to have faded quickly and now I'm getting a lot of pine and citrus on the aroma and flavor....

Oranges,tangerines, pine, a bit floral....I really like how this all comes together...a touch of tobacco as well.

Body is medium. Mildly bitter on the finish...Highly drinkable.

My kind of IPA...One of the better IPA' I've had in recent years.

 

 

Pours a slight hazed golden color with a fresh 1 finger head. Smell is fruity and tropical . Taste has lots of tropical notes , melon, oranges tangerine lemon pineapple and papaya. Mouth has caramel bread malts with tropical hops vert nice , Well done and at a great price point.

Orange and melon dominate the nose, with the mosaic hop spice coming through as well. Like if the wood of the popsicle could be tasted with the fruit, but nice. The taste is hoppier than smell, but very satisfying. Has hints of honey, kiwi and lemon in the taste as well.

 

On-tap at The Engine Room in Mystic, CT

22 oz bottle poured into a can glass, no bottled on date but I bet it’s fairly recent.

A: Nice huge white fluffy pillowy head that settles slowly and laces the glass. Body is a slightly hazy light copper color.

S: Lots of Pineapple, Orange, grass, lemon, and a light bit of caramel malts but fairly light.

T: Nice juicy pineapple and grass with a little lemon bits of cantaloupe in the mid palate nice well rounded clean finish with a little sweetness and a touch of malts.

M: medium bodied nice juicy mouthfeel without that disgusting yeast taste. Fairly clean medium carbonation.

O: This is a delightful beer and gives me hope that going forward not all beers have to be New England Style.

 

 

 

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 1 pint 6 fl oz bottle on May 27, 2018. Brewed with a juicy hop combo of Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Centennial hops. Very good.
