Edge Of Uncertainty
Heist Brewery - NoDa

 

A: Pours a murky golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass, light amounts of fine white colored particles in suspension, and moderate burnt orange + bright orange + pale yellow + medium golden yellow + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aroma of juicy tropical/mango + tropical/pineapple + citrus/tangerine + tropical/passionfruit + stone fruit/peach + stone fruit/apricot hops over the top of moderate aromas of pale + biscuit + wheat + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of pale + biscuit + wheat + oat malts with moderate amounts of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/mango + tropical/pineapple + citrus/tangerine + tropical/passionfruit + stone fruit/peach + stone fruit/apricot hops which impart a very light amount of bitterness which fades away very quickly leaving a slightly stronger than moderate lingering tropical + citrus + stone fruit hop flavors. Light amounts of green hop burn.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish. Light to moderate amounts of alcohol warming in the finish.

O: Drinks very easily considering the strength and the alcohol is well hidden with a pleasantly creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Really enjoyable citrus + tropical + stone fruit hop flavors and aromas. Light amounts of green hop burn - not too bad but gets you a little bit at first.

 

Not as sweet as your typical heist haze. Not as sweet as quenchl or clouds. Starts with a more traditional ipa flavor but really comes through with stone fruit and pineapple on the finish. Solid beer.
