Hoof RARted
RAR Brewing (Real Ale Revival)

 

Pours a semi clear copper color. Thin whispy light caramel to white head. Nose is dank. Think west coast. Citrus pith and grassy with some sticky pine. Taste is a little from colum A: west coast style and a little from colum B: NEIPA. Nice juicy notes of citrus, melon and lemon zest. Paired with dank earth and sticky pine notes. Balanced maltyness. Bitter kick to finish with a juicy citrus aftertaste. Body is medium to full that can feel fat at times. Leaves a tad bit of that oily hoppy feel that coats the teeth. I do miss that with all the juice I’ve been drinking lately. Great beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 16oz can into my DFH snifter. I got this via trade yesterday. Cool name, cool pink label.

L: A hazy medium golden color with a half finger white head. Glass lacing recedes.

S: Tons of vegetal, herbal and grassy smells. Scallion, fresh cut grass, mint, lime, weed and some slight tropical fruit.

T: Mint, grass, lime, lemon, weed, cat piss and some scallion. Sweetness is biscuit and candy sweetness like as the finish turns more towards the tropical fruit. As the beer warms I get more fruit and less vegetal flavors and the alcohol and sweetness really kicks in. Not cloying but not dry either.

F: Full, coating, sweet and alcohol as it warms. Carbonation is good.

O: I liked it, but the alcohol really pokes through and sort of gets in the way of the enjoyment. A solid beer I would drink again, but it can't stand with the big boys. Still I enjoyed it.
