Tuckahoe Brewing Company "Arc of Visibility"
16 fl. oz. can, "CANNED ON 11/1/2018 10:04 THANKS MIKE BELL"
Notes via stream of consciousness: It's poured a cloudy yellow body beneath a finger-thick head of white foam. There's almost a green sheen to it. It looks like a glass of orange juice. Wow! It smells intensely hoppy! It's really like putting your head into a freshly opened bag of hops. I'm getting lots of hop resins, orange, some lemon, some grapefruit, and a light bit of fresh pine. On to the flavor... it's pretty much the same but I'm getting some additional mango, and more pine in the finish. Lots of resins. Juicy. The malt is basic, golden sweet malt. It's got some bitterness to it but not too much. You wouldn't question it as an IPA though, it's definitely got some bite. It's fairly crisp in the mouth, and that accentuates the bitterness as well. I'd call it medium-light in body. If there's a flaw to this beer it's that it's got too many hops. My God, is that possible? Did I actually say that? I think, yes. It's amazing they've got so much hop flavor in here. I'm worried that all of those alpha and beta acids might turn my stomach sour - I'm kidding, but the thought did cross my mind. Seriously, I have to wonder how they could make any money off of this. That's a ton of cash spent in hops for this; the number of pounds per barrel must be off the charts. But back to 'too many hops', it's really resinous and that covers up some of the juicier notes in the end as they start to build on your palate. On the other hand, that's not such a bad thing now, is it? This is unique, and doesn't have to be what a lot of other NE IPAs are. "This one goes to eleven". Well worth seeking out just to see.
P.S. - OK, so I mentioned an almost green sheen to the beer, well that seems to have actually been hops. When I got to the bottom of the glass there was a sediment there that I first thought was yeast, and which may partially be yeast, but which is also hops. I have never seen THAT in a beer. Maybe this was one of the last cans off of the line? Regardless, that's pretty amazing. I should also note that the head retention was fairly limited, but with that many hops in there that would have to be expected. Amazing. I've bumped up my overall score from a 4 to a 4.25 based on its brash and bold uniqueness.
