Can to snifter. (canned 4/26/21, ghost 996)

LOOK: hazy, medium to dark yellow color, healthy off white head, very good retention.
AROMA: pineapple, white grape. light notes of veggie, red pepper, rum? Above average strength of aroma.
TASTE: heavy grass, pineapple, touch of citrus, veggie, pepper.
FEEL: light to medium body, dry and dusty in finish,

**

A: a hazy pale yellow with a voluminous white head.

S: sugary sweet up front perhaps with a touch of lemon. Something in there reminds me of the Lipton iced tea drink that came in powdered form.

T: sweet orange, fresh lemon juice, and tea. Tropical fruits round out the finish.

M: light in body, high in carbonation, semi dry finish.

O: overall tasty. The hint of tea is interesting, but not unpleasant.

 

Hazy, pail yellow with not much of a head but whats there is foamy and stark white. Nose pops with lemon, dandelion and a little earthy clay, maybe sand. Taste begins with bitter dandelion and doesn’t really give in until finally something citrus creeps in and brings with it a maltiness as well. Taste and feel gang up as the taste and burn of boozy roll in and leave a little sweetness and a lot of lingering, prickly heat

This is my second 4 pack of this stuff, picked it up from a Total Wine in Fairfax, VA. Brewed on 8/14/19.

All around a very good IPA. Dank and slight biscuity overtones on the back end. Would drink again though I prefer something like their No Escape From the Darkness.

 

 

From the bottom of the can: "CANNED ON 08/14/19 10:35 CONSUME LIFE"

Appearance: The beer is very cloudy and yellow-gold. It has numerous tiny suspended solids. There is a short fluffy white head with good retention and lacing. The can does state that this is a "HAZY IMPERIAL IPA."

Aroma: There is a nice aroma of mango, peaches, a bunch of garlic, and some bay leaf. It smells nice and leans a bit more towards cooking herbs than fruit which is interesting.

Taste: Bay leaf flavor kicks the palate right from the start. There is a bit of tea leaf and spicy black pepper and a light bit of mango puree.

Mouthfeel: The texture is thick and a bit chewy but it doesn't have a lot of weight on the palate. It carries about a medium-light body. It is a fairly slow drinker due to the thickness of the beer.

Overall: The beer seems to be more of an attempt at an imperial version of a New England IPA. It has a nice herbal flavor with a touch of mango and black pepper that work well together. I would drink it again.
