Nullentropy (Ghost 791)
Adroit Theory Brewing Company

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/6/2019. Can# 4093/7900. Pours very hazy deep golden/amber, light orange/green color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warmth of 8% or lingering hop burn after the finish. Overall this is an excellent hazy DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Awesome Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo profile. Extremely vibrant, dank, earthy, and failry juicy hop complexity; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Loved the hop profile as expected. No complaints.

Pail, fizzy yellow is kinda boring, especially when there's really no head to speak of. Nose brightens things up with what another reviewer properly described amongst other things as apricot and pear. Beneath that is a menacing, peppery hop sharpness. Taste begins with a dip into dank but quickly emerges with the tandem of apricot and scallion, along with a very biting bitter. Dry on exit, very little aftertaste and no real detectable heat. Very nice beer

A: pale apricot in color and absolutely hazy. This looks like fresh pressed pear juice, with a small white head.

S: huge fruity too aroma. Lemon peel, grapefruit, pear, and pineapple.

T: grapefruit peel, lemon peel, slightly sweet, but they're is a earthy bitterness that is reminiscent of getting hop particles in the beer.

M: medium light, with plenty of carbonation.

O: overall pretty tasty, but there aftertaste of sucking on hop pellets is abrasive and harsh.

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a snifter glass. Had a bright, almost neon yellow color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a thin, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Not much lacing to speak of.

S: A very good aroma of hops, citrus fruit, tropical fruit, and malt.

T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (mostly in the finish), a fair shot of citrus fruit (grapefruit, lemon), a lot of hops (the main ingredient here), and some tropical fruit notes (mango, in particular). This is a hoppy and sharp flavor. It's certainly more bitter than your typical DIPA, but not obnoxiously so; there's enough fruit to make it work.

F: A below average amount of carbonation with a bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium-bodied.

O: A rock solid DIPA. Worth a look.

Unfiltered deliciousness. Picked this one up because I love their imperials, but also the can is badass. The hop profile is killer. It literally hits on all the main points you'd expect from a juicy NE style IPA. The aromatics of the hops to the slight bite, with a hint of maltiness and clean finish, it delivers.

I got a 4 pack and let it grow on me before I wrote this and I found that on day 2, this is something I was glad I still had 2 cans of. A very solid IPA that I will definitely be picking up again.
