The Phlow
Roadhouse Brewing Co.

 

 

Pours a pale straw with a finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of pineapple and lemon. Taste follows nose.

 

im shocked people dont like this more, its one of the more unique ipa types ive had in recent memory, and its super interesting. its also awesomely drinkable at a very modest abv for the style, one of the better roadhouse hoppy beers, and they are all pretty solid for the most part. cool can art, light haze to a very light bodied looking brew, no real color from the grain, pale straw color is all, decent and persistent white head on it. the nose and taste are great, real cool hop profile that goes from tangerine candy to terpy sativa to fresh pineapple, eucalyptus, and sweet orange, just super summery and cool, the ferment is real clean, and the grain profile is quite minimal. surprised how sort of mild this is, usually interesting also means intensity in hoppy beer, but in some ways this almost hits like a pale, very little bitterness, no green oversaturated character at all, and there are just a ton of layers to it it still, coconut, papaya, white grapefruit, green skittles, its super good, nice and fresh, bone dry, has great carbonation, a fast finish, high refreshment value, and really is one i liked a whole lot. these guys have done some nice beers lately! this is distinct on the hop side, well refined, and to me should be rated quite a bit higher than it is right now here on BA!

 

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy straw pour, one finger airy head. Faint aroma, biscuity, fruity. Taste comes in very subdued, bready malts, light citrusy elements, lemony, floral. Crushable and sessionable.

16oz can poured into a nonic; pale straw with some opacity, small white head. The can boasts of a 'limoncello' character to this brew and I sense it on the nose and palate; light crackery grains and malts push through, with a grassy lemon character thats refreshing. Sabro pops at times with some cedar and mint. Overall this is a pleasant IPA, though its light on flavors and aromas...doesn't punch you in the face, but its refreshing and drinkable.

16oz can at Pinkie G's. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, lemon and toasted caramel. It tasted of tropical fruit, toasted caramel and a light piney bitterness.
