Futurekill
Adroit Theory Brewing Company

Pours a definite shade of hazy orange with a super bright white head. Nose was orange juice. Taste went downhill as it had a smokey flavor to it. Very smooth on palate.

Pours a hazy orange straw color with a huge two finger head. The nose has notes of tropical fruit but it also possesses a grainy essence. The flavor profile is quite fruity with sweet notes that border on bubblegum. There is not really any bitterness here. The mouthfeel is smooth.

Futurekill pours a hazy, orange color, with a lacing head. The aroma is very creamy and sweet. The flavor is sweet, with a big note of cream. Good feel. Overall, a creamy IPA, very different, yet very fun and very good.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and a strong lactose aroma that makes it hard to identify individual hop notes, but some peach and tropical accents are coming through. Taste is a good balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slighty earthy and resinous hops, with tropical, citrus and stone fruit notes of mango, papaya, orange and peach, as well as some lactose and just a hint of pine coming through as well. Finishes with a strong lactose sweetness and little bitterness coming through, with some mango, orange and peach lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

While I enjoyed this a lot more than the last New England TIPA I had from Adroit Theory, it's still not quite to my personal taste, being way too sweet and heavy-handed on the lactose. I will say that it's a lactose sweetness here though and not that typical boozy sweetness that I consider a major brewing flaw in a TIPA, with the ABV being very well hidden actually. While it also mostly lacks those overripe hop notes, the lactose overshadows the hops quite a bit here, although they still manage to make a good impression, feeling rather juicy. I also do like those subtle hints of more earthy and resinous accents in here and wish they were a little more pronounced.

 

 

Can dated 9/5/23 into pint glass. Pours a murky medium gold-honey color with a thin off-white head. Decent lacing. Initial impression is juicy citrus, pineapple, peach, pink grapefruit, and a touch of caramel. Alcohol is really well hidden. Mouthfeel is soft and juicy. Finish fades to slightly sweet citrus. Overall, a surprisingly well-balanced and drinkable NEIPA.
