Glow Stick Hazy IPA
Crux Fermentation Project

 

 

Pours a golden haze with a 2 finger off-white head that goes away quickly. Aroma is citrusy orange with a hint of sweetness, taste is the same. Mild hoppy flavor and quite smooth. Well balanced beer. Rated 7-8-2023

 

This is a wonderful brew which become apparent the first sip. The flavors of melon, apricot juice and star fruit is very much present with a main back ground of plum and plum skin. There is low acid bite and enough body to balance the fruit present. This excellent beer reminds me of those by Sunriver as I think they make the best hazys in the state. The hop profile is Citra, Strata and Sabro. I love it and give it my full recommendation.

 

Love the light tropical fruit tang to this ataulfo mango colored hazy. Lots of mango, passion fruit, and guava in this lovely IPA.

Look: Pours a glowingly bright orange with a luscious white head that holds as a pillow, slowly cratering and leaving sheets of lacing behind
Aroma: Ruby-red grapefruit, tangerine, cedar wood, huckleberries, pineapple, orange, wafts of coconut, and sweet bready malt
Taste: Opens up with tangerine, pineapple, and fresh cut cedar wood that shine both separately and in unison and followed by grapefruit and light berry notes. Citrus reigns alongside pineapple in the middle and coconut subtly pokes around in the background, at times happening together and is reminiscent of a pina colada when it does. Closes with citrus and berry
Mouthfeel: Full, soft, medium-high carbonation, and smooth and soft on the finish
Overall: I dig it. I first tried this beer about a week ago and liked it good enough for a hazy for my dad to gift me another one to take home and review, which is always a nice way to slowly unpack all the intricacies of a beer. It’s definitely a unique, tasty, and well-made one with the Sabro bringing its unique cedar/pineapple/coconut into the fold, but it works and is tasty

Opaque yellowish goldish with one finger of head and good lacing. Smells like an orange. Taste is fruity orange/apricot with a thicker mouthfeel like juice. Overall really good for this style.

Pours a hazy grapefruit color with a finger and a half of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with plenty of lacing. Faint aroma of citrus and tropical fruit. Taste follows nose. Very smooth.

12oz can; thick, 'glowing' orange with deep haze and a creamy white head; lots of fruitiness and citrus presence with a bit apricot component. Mild bitterness, very creamy and juice-like; I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

Draft at Hops & Bottles. Hazy orange golden with a small foamy white head. Aroma is citrusy, presence of tropical and stone fruit flavors. Taste is fruity, mild hoppiness, relatively smooth.

Pours a cloudy amberish with sticky foam in the big Stout glass. Massively fruity taste, and actually it's the "all orange all the time" profile from aroma to aftertaste. Not bad, though, and quite drinkable for the simple blast of flavor. Sharp but not bad. It's also seriously frothy and slushy in the mouth-- not complaining, as it seems to dampen the harsh acidity. Overall a better than average hazy IPA, and if you like orange it's quite a decent taste. From the 12 oz can purchased at the local Co-op market. Dated 07/07/23.
