Definitely a decent new find for me. Worth a try so keep an eye out for it!
L: From the can. The can is a bit ... interesting. Kinda grotesque if you ask me but what the heck? Who cares about the can? Slight ding because there is no date on the can. Relying on my local monger to have gotten it into philly promptly. tastes like it...
S: juicy, floral, light lemon, sweet orange. nice.
T: delivers on the nose. definitely sweet and juicy. light bitterness and some booze on the end.
F: light carbonation. smooth. it works.
O: pretty good, i must say. worth looking out for and i will likely try a few of their other offerings.

A: pours a hazy, golden body with a thick white head with nice retention and lacing.
S: juicy, floral bouquet with hints of lemongrass
T: sweet, juicy and slightly earthy taste with some lemongrass notes and sweet alcohol aftertaste.
M: medium bodied and smooth
O: pretty solid; well balanced and full bodied.

Traded for this a while ago, as the date on the bottom of the can 10/18/17 with BULLYJUICE BULLYJUICE written on top of it. No, I never saw the move (or the current Broadway musical) that this was in reference to but the can art and whimsical nature of this beer still shone through regardless as this was full of flavor and easy to enjoy - even without having to say it's name three times!

As the name implied, this poured like juice and looked the part in every way - except for any hints of discernible pulp. Topped off with plenty of head, the lacing that way left behind was in beautiful rings that bled down to the ones below. Loads of orange juice, soft hops, cream, and sticky stone fruit in the nose. The taste had all of those along with hints of garlic spice and and gooseberry juice. The body was medium and carbonation was light as the resin in the mouthfeel was allowed to linger for quite some time...

A decent amount of alcohol was in this as well which kept it on par for a beer of this type. This wasn't a bad IPA and was more fruit-forward and less hop-forward than others of it's type. Wouldn't win any awards but it was enjoyable and full-bodied, as well as being one of the better offerings from Bolero Snort. They just need to up their game a bit more!

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color—too hazy to see if there is any visible carbonation—with some hints of amber hues. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down, consistently leaving a thin head covering the surface and lots of lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of pineapples are present in the smell along with hints of mangos and tangerines.
T: The taste follows the smell, having flavors of pineapples along with notes of mangos and peaches. Little, if any bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and slightly smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA has lots of tropical aromas and flavors—I really enjoyed the pineapples. It's not bitter at all and does an exceptional job at hiding any traces of alcohol. In some aspects, it almost seems like this could be classified as an Imperial New England IPA.

Good beer - very drinkable. Standard IPA. Good hop combination of hops with galaxy, mosaic and denali. Citrus mouthfeel with limited bitterness and good flavor, but not spectacular by any means. Cool can art - thats for sure.

 

 

Poured from a 16oz into a Speiglau IPA glass.

Look is a dark hazy orange with little to no help.

Aroma is dank with a sweet orange candy.

Taste matches aroma, dank and delicious.

 

10/2/18 canning, brewed with Galaxy, Denali, and Mosaic hops at Wyndridge Farm in Dallastown, PA... Medium golden caramel-colored and opaque, with a coupla fingers of off-white head on top... Citric aromas undercut with notes of sweeter tropical fruits and light herbal pine... Flavors of mild passion fruit, citrus along the lines of orange and mild lime, a not-particularly sweet pineapple element, and a flash of dull berry... Doesn't get too sweet, nor does it present much bitterness - well-balanced between the two tastes... Feel is smooth, medium-weight, and gently carbonated... Drinks like an IPA... A very nice beer...

 

 

16 oz can into IPA glass. Dated 10/2/18.
Look is nice cloudy golden orange. Smell is sweet tropical fruit with passionfriut papaya. Taste follows and stays fairly sweet through end where there is a little grapefruit at end. Feel is medium and smooth. Overall very nice DIPA that I would buy again.
