New School Hip Hops
Wilmington Brewing Company

A: Pours a very murky pale golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + orange + burnt orange + peach + honey + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of very slightly mottled very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, stone fruit/peach, tropical/passionfruit, and tropical/mango hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + wheat + oat malts with a moderate amount of honey-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + wheat + oat malts with a moderate amount of honey-like sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit, stone fruit/peach, tropical/passionfruit, and tropical/mango hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which fades away fairly quickly leaving lingering tropical + citrus + stone fruit hop flavors.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a pleasant combination of hop flavors and aromas. Slightly different than many others because there is a decent amount of bitterness (even though it fades fairly quickly) with the soft/fluffy mouthfeel.
