Supafly
Silver City Brewery & Taproom

 

 

Received from @woemad in a BIF box. No date on can. Poured into a Spiegelau IPA glass. It pours a cloudy golden-straw color with a bright white, foamy cap. The smell is muted: just some nondescript citrus. The taste follows the nose; there is tart, bitter grapefruit and lemon peel. I don't taste any tropical fruit and there is little malt presence. The Citra and Cascade hops add a lot of bitterness. In fact, I was surprised to read that the IBU is only 52. It's nicely carbonated and an easy drinker at 6.5% ABV. Overall, despite its hazy appearance, Supafly reminds me of a bitter, West Coast style IPA.

Pretty much a let down from an otherwise solid brewery. Take their Tropic Haze and mute a lot of the aroma and flavor, watered down. I imagine this would be refreshing after mowing the lawn, but is uninspired and boring.

 

 

 

From the bottle, it pours a nice hazy amber with a nice 1 inch thick dense off-white head that stays and stays. Definite citrus in the nose. Lightly bitter and flavorful in the mouth. Yum!

Served in shaker pint glass. Poured a lightly murky yellow with a half-inch of white head that had good retention and lacing.

The aroma was a very nice mix of citrus, musk, and some very light grain.

That musk/funk aspect from the nose was bolder on the tongue, but the fruit was still the lead player.

The body was medium-light, and had a funky, dry finish.

Drinkability was OK, depending of how you liked that musky aspect. Overall, and interesting beer. Different, but interesting. Worth trying if you see it.

 

 

Label says "produced and bottle by Silver City Brewery, Bremerton, WA."

Seriously hazy amberish brew with an enthusiastic froth in the snifter. Big fruity aroma of mango and fermenting pineapple. It's quite sharp but fruity with bitter citrus peel. Malty and sudsy in the mouth. Brewed with Cascade and Mosaic hops, a good combination.

Flavors of lime peel and grapefruit rind with dry mango. Malty but just a little sweet. Some light grainy taste with a moderate bitter aftertaste. Very tangy, like amped-up bitter lemonade with a short of cheap vodka. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Haggen Market in Burlington.

22oz bottle served in a tulip. I don't see a date. Poured gently after being ungently handled by my kids dragging the cooler around the house.

Pours a pale hazy yellow with a big head that fades fairly quickly to a less big head and leaves behind a bunch of clumpy lacing. Looks nice. Smell is also very nice -- hop resin in the forefront, citrus in the background.

Taste is hella bitter. Good, but over the top hoppiness.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and resinous, dries the tongue. Overall, enjoying this beer.

22 oz bottle- Pours very hazy with a large white head. Aroma is mango, tropical fruits, spicy hops, fairly subdued. The flavor is citrusy, mango, grapefruit, orange peel, some dank resinous flavors as it sits present themselves. really tasty, it's supafly for sure.

 

A hazy brew. A good taste of cascade hopes and pilsner malt. It is not your classic tasting india pale ale but this untraditional beer has something about it, something i cant quite verbalize.
