Mob Scene IPA
Liquid Riot Bottling Company

Enjoyed a pint with lunch with Da Boss at Duck Fat in Portland Maine on 9-5-19 for $7.00.

Beer was served golden orange with a nice white head that left some lacing behind.

Nose was of moderate fresh grapefruit.

Taste was grapefruit and orange over a moderate malt base. Finish was a nice pine bitterness; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.

Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and pretty refreshing.

Overall a pretty solid ipa in a highly competitive area for great ipa's.

On tap at Duckfat in Portland. Slightly cloudy sunflower yellow in color. Bright citrus nose. Bright hops and lime zest tasting notes. Lots of lingering dry key lime on the finish. Thin mouthfeel. My first Liquid Riot beer and it was a solid one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No visible canning date but just purchased in Maine over the weekend and a Portland brewery.

Interesting multicolor can art of a "mob scene."

Poured from the 16 oz. can into a Tree House tulip.

a: Translucent orange with a finger thick white head which receded to a slight ring of surface foam. A lot of rather unappetizing-looking sediment on the bottom of the glass.

s: Citrus leaning to tangerine/orange.

t; Grapefruit and pine resin over a medium biscuit malt base, moderate bitterness which lingers on the dry finish.

m; Medium, good body and some carbonation tingle.

o; A flavorful and sessionable IPA, tastes of a mixture of West Coast and NE styles. Seems to hold up well as it warms, although bitterness naturally increases somewhat.

From the 16 fl. oz.can with no date that I could find. Sampled on November 24, 2017.

The pour is a cloudy, opaque looking light amber-orange. It rests under a modest white head that laces as it fades. It has the appearance of fresh juice. As far as New England IPA's go, this looks to be on target.

The aroma is an inviting array of papaya, tangerine, tropical fruits, citrus, and a soft bread quality to it.

Smooth medium or better body.

The taste is like a tropical fruit spritzer. Lots of sweet effervescence, orange, papaya, and even some lemon zest. The bitterness is moderate at the finish and lingers.
