Fluffy Tufts
Gigantic Brewing Company

Nice citrus flavor and aroma. Had from bottle but appeared to be somewhat hazy. The mouthfeel/body seemed medium and minimal hop bite. Very good beer. Rated 3-7-2020

Lightly hazy gold with three fingers of off white head. Rings of lace appear as the head descends.
Smell is melon pine lightly dank and bready malt.
Taste is dank green melon resinous with bready malt.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with good carbonation. The finish is mildly dry and lightly bitter.
Overall a tasty and well balanced IPA. No date observed.

16oz bottle picked up at Central Market in Mill Creek, Washington.
No dating. Served in a pint glass.

Look- Hazy golden orange color. Fairly large bright white head that hangs around, ample lacing. Moderate carbonation streams visible.

Smell- Citrus (orange/tangerine, grapefruit and lemon/lime), tropical fruit (pineapple, mango and passion fruit), melon, peach/nectarine and apricot, pine, bready malt, berries and grassy notes.

Taste- Melon and stone fruit heavy (honeydew and peach), citrus and pine are back up with other said notes but lighter.

Feel- Medium/light bodied. Kind of sticky with a lightly dry bitter finish. Medium carbonation on the tongue.

O- Pretty good stuff from Gigantic, a nice take on a NE style hazy, better suited for summer, but worth trying if you find it.

 

 

Usual great artwork label from Gigantic.

Pours a hazy/milky gold colour with large thick and frothy off white head.

Medium fruity hop aromas..strawberry, pineapple and lemon peel.

Taste the same but surprsingly balanced by more bitter floral and pine like hops..

Nice medium thick mouth feel..very wel carbonated.

I liked this one ..a really well balanced hazy.

 

 

 

 

Well, its easy to search for this on BA. "Fluffy Tufts" pretty much nails that one down. Slightly hazy pour, typical,of NWIPAs. Nose is all fruit, like inhaling a Christmas fruit basket. You get a blast again on the first sip, bitterness is under control. Long finish, good mouthfeel. The name and cover art might be a little off-putting to some, but this is a solid beer under the label.

 

 

 

 

 

Bottle poured into a pub glass

A: Pours hazy deep golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces quite nicely.

S: Tropical fruit takes the lead, resinous pine, citrus, spicy, herbal, and earthy notes, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Citrus, lemon, tangerine, and grapefruit, resinous pine, tropical fruit, mango, passion fruit, and papaya, slight herbal and earthy notes, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.

O: Solid brew.

Handsome golden amber brew with plenty of long-lasting foam in the New Belgium snifter. Mango aroma is inviting. Light body with a malty substance.

Cedar and roasted malt with fruity notes of orange, wheat, and a faint bitter aftertaste. I think of green wood. This is a fragrant and tasty hoppy brew that is lusciously drinkable. From the 500 ml bottle purchased at Haggen Market.
