Make It Nice
Sloop Brewing

From a 16 oz. can dated 11/30/210. Sampled March 12, 2021.

It has the appearance of a NEIPA with its hazy yellow tone and frothy, fading white head.

The aroma is pineapple, melon, and perhaps orange. Definitely a tropical fruit character. Some lower profile oat or cereal grain.

Light mouthfeel.

The taste is sweet at first and then the juice bomb explodes leading to a lingering, yet crispy finish.

 

Look: Somewhat hazy yellow with foamy white head.
Smell: Sweet with lots of citrus and tropical fruit.
Taste: Apricot peach and tangerine. Mild bitterness and subtle malt flavors.
Feel: Light and easy to drink.
Overall: Lighter than most beers I drink but a very good beer.

 

Canned: 11/25/20 Opened and reviewed on 1/9/21

Only slight haze inside this very yellow golden liquid. Practically clear by NE style standards. A finer, thinner all white foam dome settles down and spreads out quickly. Minimal lace.

A very tropically sweet fruit aroma pops right out from the hops. Lemon zest and tangy citrus smell is nice as the golden grains filled malt gives a round sweetness, especially with the milk sugar adjunct.

Flaked Oats and wheat usually means I'm going to love it in a NE IPA. True here, and with the added milk sugar I'm really enjoying it's, smooth texture that has a righteous crisp bite and tangy finish.

The lemon zest flavor from the hops and super crispy, fresh mouthfeel makes for a rad first sip. Very grainy with texture of smooth oats, crisp golden wheat and round tones of milk sugar makes me keep going quickly for the next sip. A guava and spicy citrus flavor lingers in the finish.

There is a major X factor to this one! Make it Nice indeed. The wheat gives the malt body a kick, then oats to round it out! Deep hop flavors and excellent use of my favorite adjuncts makes this one rather remarkable.

 

Poured from a 16oz can dated 11/25/20 to a Nonic at fridge temp.
Opaque yellow body mirrors the can art (kind of). One inch head of white pillows. Laces the glass heavily.
A lot of lemon rind aroma with a background of green grass.
Lemon is the prominent flavor also, like a lemon drop candy but not too sweet or too sour. Subtle dank finish.
Body is medium with appropriate carbonation.
A good beer for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

Sloop always impresses and I love this NIPA! Great job and I want more.

 

Poured from a pint can into a Willi Becher style glass. Solid white head, 3 fingers deep, with great lacing. Body of the beer is amber in appearance, semi - opaque. Nice citrusy aroma. First sip has some grapefruit and tangerine, sliding over to a hoppy bitter finish. Tasty NEIPA!
