Never Enough Hugs
Wilmington Brewing Company

 

A: Pours an extremely murky dark golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate dark burnt orange + faint caramel + ruby red colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall slightly dense sudsy foamy off-white head that reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, tropical/mango, and citrus/orange hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of bready + caramel + wheat + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel + lactose sweetness. Slightly heavier than light aromas of sweet raspberries.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of bready + caramel + wheat + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel + lactose sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of sweet raspberries. Finally there are just shy of strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit, tropical/mango, and citrus/orange hops which impart a just shy of moderate amount of bitterness which fades away leaving lingering citrus + tropical hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp with a soft/fluffy mid-body and light amounts of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable with the sweetness from the lactose + malts + raspberry upfront and the hoppy bitterness on the backend.

Murky orange beer with a reddish tint. Head fades quickly. Aroma is filled with raspberries and some grapefruit. Sweet up front with a lot of raspberries and grapefruit. Super bitter finish.
