Sloop Brewing

 

 

 

A really pleasant and well crafted NEIPA. Nice balance with a more crisp mouthfeel so not too creamy. It’s 6.7% so pretty standard IPA level ABV but very sessionable.

16 ounce can from the source, with "12/16/20" stamped on the bottom.

More great looking NEIPA from Sloop...hazed/juiced/frothy, solid and lasting cap/ample lace left on the glass.

Fruity/earthy sniff.

Over the top flavorful brew, fresh, tropical, complex and simply delicious offering. All the usuals show up here....pineapple, mango, stone fruits, kiwi...mighty fine..go get some while it is around...again

Poured into a 16 oz tulip glass canned on 12/18/2020. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a finger sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace with solid retention. 4.25

Aroma is pineapple, passionfruit, lime, white grapes, apricot, melon, and some grapefruit rind. 4.5

Taste follows passionfruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, lime, honeydew, white grapes, and a little hint of grapefruit, but really well balanced and tasty. 4.5

Mouthfeel is about medium, soft fairly gentle carbonation, not dry or sticky, and at 6.8% ABV really easy going down. 4.25

Overall this is another rock solid NEIPA from Sloop. Obviously a great name. 4.25

 

 

 

Hazy yellow, with moderate white head. Looks like pineapple juice with a head on it.

Smell is pineapple creamsicle, light on the cream, slightly unripe peach, and some mixed citrus leaning towards Valencia (juice) orange. The open can gives a stronger unripe peach aroma, plus some grapefruit.

Taste is orange, pineapple, grapefruit, slight peach pit, with brief hints of Galia melon and white grape. Bitterness is initially almost non-existent , reaching a moderate level by finish, and lingers awhile after.

Feel is lightly slick and juicy, with a moderate level of very, very fine carbonation tingle coming in late.

Overall, another good and thoroughly enjoyable IPA from Sloop. It's got the juice, but on the dry side, as I like it. Recommend giving it a try.
