Slip-Ons
RAR Brewing (Real Ale Revival)

 

 

Pours a hazy golden color with a nice head and lacing
Aroma has tropical and citrus hints
Taste has a pleasant tropical and citrus flavor
A medium bodied well carbonated beer
A good Pale Ale

 

Orange yellow hazy color with minimal to moderate head. Nose and palate is fruity with notes of pineapple, orange, and passion fruit. Mouthfeel is moderate to full.

 

Solid, but not great IPA. Good deal if you can find it for under $20.

16 ounce can poured into a can glass.

I love these hazy APAs and this one while in my opinion, not the best from RAR Is a solid choice. Plenty of citrus, tropical, pineapple and fruited bread to be had in the nose as wells the taste. The soft, medium body and the overall lighter drinking experience than you would generally get from a hazy IPA make for a great beach, boat or poolside beer.

 

 

 

 

Poured from the crowler into a nonic pint glass, approximately 16 hours after canning.

Minimal head creation, barely half a finger of eggshell white like colored head. A simple puck does manage to stay though the entire time. Body color is going in that NE vein, not totally turbid, But an almost banana to lemon yellow and pale grapefruit colored body. Looks like grapefruit juice.

Slightly fruity nose, but aroma is a little bit closed and neutral. Small touch more in esters than hop it seems on first whiff. Creamy and chewy sensing sweetness, with perhaps a tropical hop bent, but it's a little tricky to tell.

Palate seems to maintain this quite neutral presence. Simple backbone, forgoing the sense of chewy and textured sweet senses on the nose one would expect. Slightly prickly, a touch of orange citrus hop, but also mimosa like faint carbonation quality. Finishes a bit dry, almost parching. Good hop warmth on the finish though, with a bit of dry herbality that lingers.

This seems more like a dumbed down IPA than a regular solid pale ale. Decent but there's room for this to be better I think.

 

 

 

Pale ale poured from a 16oz can into a Nonic Pint glass.

look: Hazy and cloudy yellowish orange just like a NEIPA. Not really to style but its good so who cares at this point.
Aroma: Tons of citrus, pine, tropical smells are popping out. Oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruits.
Taste- Compliments the aroma spot on. Bitterness is minimal.
Feel- Super creamy and smooth mouthfeel.

Awesome pale ale from RaR!
