DDH Freakout
Sloop Brewing

A- Tallboy can pours into a pint glass with a very floury and cloudy yellow body. The head rises up to a finger high with a foamy texture. Good head retention. A thick sheet of lacing at the top continues for about an inch with drizzle beyond that.

S- Juicy hops rise out of the glass with great strength. Fruits all around with tropical first and stone fruits and citrus beyond that. Dank weed joins in with notes of mango, grapefruit, melon, orange juice, mint, slight onion and whole grains. Berry, floral and herbal hints as well.

T- Leans a bit more towards the floral, herbal, berry and bitter flavor spectrum here but still totes plenty of dank, juicy and fruity hops. Peach, grapefruit, candied oranges, berries, grape stems, oats, whole wheat bread, melon, mint and a decent hit of scallions. Somewhat sweet but balanced between that the other flavors and the bitterness.

MF- Silky and somewhat creamy medium body. Really puffs up quite a bit and it is quite soft even with a high level of carbonation. Ends with a solid bitterness that brings no burning.

Sloop feels like one of the breweries you can trust with most of their hoppy offerings at modern IPA pricepoints. No hop burn and a fruity, herbal and floral flavor profile.

 

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head that quickly died down but consistently left a short head covering the surface and a thick coating of bubbles on the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberries and stone fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of gooseberries and lime along with notes of stone fruit. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This New England-style IPA is really packed with lots of hoppy aromas and flavors.
