Tony Goes Dancing (Dance/Batch #14)
Back East Brewing Company

 

Tried this at Eli Cannon's in Middletown, CT. Came in a tulip glass with about three quarters of an inch of head leaving behind sticky, soapy lacing. The color was a cloudy orange juice kind of color with an aroma that was citrus and pine forward. The flavor is citrus strong with resinous notes leaving behind a sweet taste on the tongue that is not offputting. Nice dipa.

 

Thought I would add this in as I've come to find out each batch is drastically different and it's not fair to keep rating the same beer as if it were the same. I couldn't relate at all to the reviews posted until I realized that some were rating a Cascadian Dark Ale, some were rating a super fruity ale, and this, well this is a very earthy IIPA.

Thanks to brutalfarce for sending me this 12 oz can! Canned on 6/14/18. Fresssh! Batch # 14 (this should really really be divided up into separate beers as I think they do different versions of it each time)

Beer pours a really gorgeous murky dijon mustard yellow body with a tall 3 finger head of cream. It leaves lots of lace on the glass as it recedes. Very nice show.

Aroma of dough and citra hop. Nice pithy stringy orange aromas, very faint pineapple core.

Flavor is pretty piney-peppery, but has a nice citrus/tropical fruit thing going on in the background. The fruits are mostly on the bitter-rindy side though. It's largely earthy, has a bit of a lemon dish soap thing going on as well.
Goes like this : Pine->pepper->earth->lemon dish soap->mango->grapefruit rind->pepper->earth.

Feel is creamy and nicely carbonated, with very little resin on the finish.

Overall, I'm not sure how I feel about this beer. The flavor profile is way more dirty than I'm accustomed to. Very peppery pine with dish soap. Could do without that. Definitely NE IPA with the look and feel though.
