This is an Imperial Hazy IPA, but there's no option to select that as the style for this beer.
Gifted for my birthday in August 2022 and drunk in September that year.
L: In the glass, it's a semi hazy, almost neon orange. It has a big, white head. But, let's be honest - it's weird looking! Almost like mountain dew. Not appealing.
S: Big tropical notes. Orange, mandarin, pineapple
T: Hmmm... There's strong grapefruit peel and pith, almost mint-like. I don't know how to describe the flavour. Over fermented pineapple? Hop vegetal matter? No, it's shampoo! Finally got it! [reading reviews of this beer on Untappd is where I first came across the descriptor of "shampoo in your mouth" for that dieselly, over-fermented pineapple, hop burn that has become more prevalent in hazy IPAs in the last little while, especially ones smothered in Mosaic hops. Now I can't get the descriptor out of my head. Just as well it perfectly encapsulates that taste...]
F: It's sharp and prickly in the mouth. Alcohol is warming and noticeable. It's just not gelling with the rest of the beer. It looks hazy, yet bites and prickles on the way down. It should do the opposite!
O: Sorry, this is a no for me. That weird menthol/mint/diesel/shampoo vibe that's becoming increasingly common in NEIPAs these days just destroys this beer and makes it a chore to work through.
Cheers!
