Key Bump Pure Snow
Hoof Hearted Brewing

 

 

 

 

 

From the pint can, it pours a hazy amber color with a nice white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets some citrusy fruit, but it has a bit more - vanilla? has more noticeable vanilla, along with citrus - creamy feel overall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

More magic from Hoof Hearted. It is insane how good they brew! A couple weeks ago I had a Key Bump. I don't remember it that well, but I think this is very different (except a similar label).

It pours a fully clouded yellow with fine fizz. The aroma is unusual. Like the Key Bump, it is not stanky, like many of this style, but more of a controlled chaos of smell. It has a pretty complex taste - all different kinds of sweetness balanced with a bunch of hops, but staying on the sweet side. It's impossible to pull out individual tastes from this soup, but it feels like a mouthful. A boozy undertone is laying dangerously below the creamy ale.

Highly recommended. This is one to repeat, if possible. Expect creamy, thick, boozy sweetness.

 

1 PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass

This beer pours a turbid yellow/orange color. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves very little lacing.

The smell is sweet. I get vanilla and light citrus and tropical fruit. The fruit opens up a little more as it warms.

The taste is sweet as well. Once again the citrus flavor is weak. I get mild grapefruit in the finish.

Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

It is sweet with mild flavor and aroma. This is not my favorite Hoof Hearted beer. These sweet hazy IPAs are becoming a dime a dozen. It is rare to find a standout anymore. It is good for getting fucked up hastily though.
