Chowdah - 5 Years of Beer
Deep River Brewing Co.

Hazy orange beer with a ton of particulate floating in it. Finger of white head has large bubbles and leaves a bit of lacing behind. Kind of a pungent hoppy aroma with a ton of overripe papaya and citrus fruit. There is an underlying caramel sweetness. Lots of citrus and caramel that is quickly brushed away by carb and piney/pithy bitterness. Bitterness lingers until the next sip. A decent version of the NEIPA.

Canned poured into teku glass

Hazy orange , one finger white foam cap, settles to a frothy layer

Aroma of citrus, bit of pine, bit of spice

Taste is citrus , grapefruit rind,

Hop bitterness lingers, good sudsing

Good beer

 

A: Pours a murky pale to medium golden apricot in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and a moderate medium golden yellow + pale burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that reduces to a large patch of thick film covering a little more than 75% of the surface of the beer with a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, citrus/orange, citrus/grapefruit pith, tropical/mango, and tropical/pineapple hops over the top of moderate aromas of caramel + biscuit malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of caramel + biscuit malts with a light to moderate amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit, citrus/orange, citrus/grapefruit pith, tropical/mango, and tropical/pineapple hops with a light amount of herbal hops which contribute a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving a citrus + tropical + herbal hops lingering through the finish.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Smooth with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasant yet slightly complex hop profile. Very enjoyable though a touch on the sweeter style for an IPA.

Came a hazed auburn infused lighter golden with with a thick full one finger white head atop that never completely settled.Bright citrusy notes in the nose with a tinge of sweet onion that is more prevalent on the palate.Big sweet Maui onion upfront on the palate with more tropical citrus notes coming in late,mango and overripe pineapple over top of sweet biscuit notes and sugary sweet alcohol.Not bad it's pretty sweet but has a decent complexity to it.

16 oz can poured into an IPA glass, a hazy yellowish orange with a two and half finger white head. Aroma of citrus/grapefruit, onion/sea salt, and some dank. Flavah is in line with nose, but very heavy on the citrus aspect, and there are some pine/mint notes underneath. The mouthfeel is medium to full, with a low amount of carbonation, but enough to hold it together and keep it from milk shake status. Pretty good go at the style; honestly never heard of the brewery, but, having some MA blood the name spoke to me in the storah. Effin right! Go Sox!
