Momentum Drift
Heist Brewery

 

 

A: Pours a clear medium yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + bright yellow + pale burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit pith, citrus/lemon zest, herbal, and dank resinous hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of bready + pale + caramel malts with light amounts of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of bready + pale + caramel malts with light amounts of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit pith, citrus/lemon zest, herbal, and dank resinous hops which impart a light to moderate amount of lingering aggressive bitterness.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a crisp + refreshing mouthfeel. Enjoyable hop flavors + aromas and a nice WC IPA - pleasant aggressive bitterness.

 

Look: It pours golden and clear with a white head. Head retention is good.

Smell: It has dank, lemon, herbal, and minty aromas. There is a candy like aroma that develops as the beer warms.

Taste: It has lemon and herbal flavors with some mint. There is a candy elements in support with a bit of bread.

Feel: It has a medium body with good bitterness, but no harshness.

Overall, I like the hop combinations which are quite unique and flavorful.
