Had on tap at The Plum Tomato. A great IPA with a little NE influence but not a NE IPA pernsay. Great bitterness that is not too much, but not nonexistent like some NEIPAS . big tropical hops. I find the aroma to be very pleasant. Excellent mouthfeel. And the taste is citrusy pineapple. I also love the perfect carbonation.

 

 

 

 

Poured into a 16 oz Great Divide Tulip Glass can’t read the bottom of the can. Pours a very hazy yellow orange, with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves big patches of lace behind.

Smell is guava, mandarin orange, pineapple, and some grapefruit.

Taste follows tropical all the way, really a juicy guava, orange, pineapple, and a healthy shot of grapefruit in the lingering finish.

Mouthfeel is pretty big, soft on the palate, sticky, and at 8.4% ABV.

Overall they are starting to run together, so many excellent one out now. Really worth a try if you get a chance.

Cloudy honey color with a 2F head in a Spiegelau IPA glass. Good head retention.

Citrus, tropical fruit aroma, hoppy palate, and a tropical/ citrus taste.

However, the taste- is a bit weird though enjoyable. The citrus and tropical tastes need to be more balanced. The blending is off. Regardless, an excellent DIPA.

 

 

L - pours a dark, murky, swampy orange. Slick, oily head.

S - well if I've found anything, it's the dank. Sweet, oniony, garlicky dank. Ripe orange syrup and jam. Banana?

T - peach! Sweaty melon and herbal candied peach. Cantaloupe and juicy tangerine. Ripe tropical flavors stained by a gritty spiciness from the dank. Leaves a deceptive bitterness that lingers on the lips.

F - creamy and viscous. Hits the spot for this style and is topped off by an electric peppering on the finish.

O - once again, loving what Relic is doing lately. Here we have a big dank delectoid with a delicious peach pop supporting each other well. Nicely done.

Pours turbid, with nice white head and some lacing throughout the poured can. The beer has big tropical hop aroma. Taste is pineapple, orange citrus, and a spicey hop bitterness at the end. It is not that bitter but the bitterness is not pleasant. It has a hop burn. Good full mouthfeel.
