Pale gold, murky beer with a fluffy, sticky, white head. The aroma of filled with orange, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, juice and a hint of pine. Nice sweet beer with a creamy mouthfeel. Tons of citrus juice with a pithy and pine bitterness. Delicious.

 

Exceptional NEIPA...really close to their amazing Citraquench'l just a slightly lower.abv%. Juicyness seemed to give way to more a traditional IPA as it warmed and I got closer to the end...still, all in all, I would not hesitate to enjoy this again!

Pours deep burnt orange color with thick white head and lost of spotty lacing. Aroma is of overly ripe mango, tangerine and pineapple very sweet tropical fruit aroma. Taste follows the aroma very ripe tropical fruit creamy mouthfeel. Overall another great IPA from these guys.

Pours hazy orange. Foamy, medium, Whitehead that last a little while with light lacing.

Smells tropical, mango, papaya, fruit and orange.

Taste mango, peaches, orange, light pineapple and grapefruit, papaya and just a hint of vegetal. Finish is semi-sweet with an orange linger. Medium body and creamy medium carbonation.

Pours a murky burnt-orange with two fingers of fluffy white head. Head retention is good with great lacing left behind. Aroma is orange, lemon zest, mango, and sweet marmalade mix with soft yeast, and a hint of resiny pine at the back. Flavor profile starts off sweet hitting notes of orange, lemon zest, and papaya before taking a slightly bitter turn, landing at resiny, pine hop notes. Biscuit malts, a touch of yeast, and a calcium taste round it out. Mouth feel is a touch fizzy and grainy having a yeasty feel. The graininess works with the medium thickness to create an enduring feel that rewards sipping, but not gulping or chugging. Overall, good sweet hop notes mixed with slightly bitter notes giving this beer a balanced profile.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 16oz can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

L - pours a charmingly warm peachy tangerine juice. Super neat head-- it's layered when held up to the light. The big bubble canopy lets in light and three distinct rings appear.

S - bright fresh-cut pineapple with a touch of the dank. Juicy orange marmalade with herbal grassiness. Sweet mango.

T - raw, astringent grassiness. Dragonfruit rind. I ate a lot of dragonfruit when I visited China the other month so I'm quite acquainted with the earthy, herbal qualities it possesses! Lemon peel and hard, unripe pineapple. Despite the mealy, tacky bitter grassiness, there is a hell of a lot of juice to back it up. Peachy orange pith and papaya. Slightly exotic. Slightly tropically dank. Finishes smooth and decadent with a piney freshness.

F - pillowy and creamy. Low low carbonation and the sticky feel make this a meal in itself. Dries the mouth out, leaving me--ahem--thirsting for more!

O - a finely balanced juice bomb that does a good job with slapping me in the face with the juice we deserve, but then drying off the corners of my mouth politely, leaving me salivating for more! You too, I bet!
