New England IPA
Microbrasserie Le Castor

473 ml can, probably from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. Hazy golden colour, huge white head. ABV is 6.3%. Aroma of over-ripe peaches and other fruits. Pleasant flavour of citrus and peaches. Low bitterness.

If you like a fruit< refreshing summer IPA then this is your stuff. Passion fruit combined with resin and pine. Perfect carbonation and mouth feel. Cheers.

 

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy bright yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus light tropical notes and huge floral undertone is quite enticing. Taste is a smooth mix of citrusy notes with some tropical notes, light residual sugar with a smooth finish. Body is full with limited filtration and creamy texture and good carbonation. Solid NEIPA from a brewery that rarely disappoint.

A:
Pours looking like orange juice and creamer with a frothyfinger and a half. Settles to a healthy film with Dali doily lacing sheets. (4.25)

S:
Bubblegum, passion fruit, guava. (4.5)

T:
Similar tropical bubbilicious twangy sort of juicy sweetness with a sugary Ritz cracker of malt. (4.25)

M:
Soft and bubbly velvet sort of feel with a ling-ladting hoppy, resiny, sugar cookie finish that fizzles out in my nostrils. (4.25)

O:
Very, very nice!
Looks a little murkier than ideal but otherwise good the aroma is like tropical Bubbilicious. A fruity, sweet, tangy melange of tropical sweetness. The flavor follows with some of this as well as a little green hoppiness and some malt. It is a pretty varied feeling beer with a range of fluffy and biting-ness and some lingering sappy, fruity hop aromatics. Really nice on the whole. I'd gladly have it again. (4.25)

A-hazy yellow with a thick white head and very good lacing
S-Nice tropical fruit aroma with elements of grape, melon, tangerine, pineapple and candied mango
M-Nice thick mouth feel with carbonation on the medium to high end and a peppery after bite
T-There is a very noticeable tea flavour that kind of takes away from the fruit character of this beer.
O-Is a very nice beer, however I’m not sure where the tea flavour comes from but it is somewhat distracting

A: Looks the part for sure with an absolutely opaque yellow color. Pure white and creamy looking head with very good retention and lacing.

S: Pure grapefruit, passion fruit and papaya in the nose. A little bit of herbal notes and a slight medicinal note in there.

T: A little bit too sweet for my taste but it follows the nose quite well with a ton of passion fruit, papaya and some grapefruit.

M: About as perfect as a NEIPA can be. Perfectly fluffy and dry in the mouth.

O: It's a decent NEIPA. I don't know if the can I have is a little bit old or something (no date printed on the can) but the beer was a bit too sweet for the genre. Still very good.
