Almost Finally Open In LA
Modern Times Beer

Big fan of the hazy IPA's put out by Modern Times. Was spoiled living in San Diego but now in FL and my stash brought across country is running out. I had this on draft at the brewery but actually thought it tasted better the 2nd time coming from the can. Artistry on the can is fantastic btw. Very aromatic and flavorful hazy IPA. These guys knock it out of the ballpark when it comes to hazy dankness.

I've had this beer on draft and now oddly enough I am buying a $22 4 pack weeks after its release but this is solid stuff. Resident is getting up there with Pure Project falling behind and Modern Times leading the charge on the NE style in San Diego. I'm hoping they can keep up the game and "finally open the LA" isn't the end of this goodness. No it's not Dinosaur World magical but it's a damn fine juice bomb holding up nicely.

 

 

 

From 16 oz can to pint glass

Creamsicle-colored brew, big fluffy head leaves tiny patches of lacing.

Dank nose with hints of citrus pith, tangerines, touch of pineapple.

Hop-forward flavor profile, with undertones of citrus zest and pineapple-mango juice. Hops are more snappy than juicy, while malt sweetness play less of a role than some of MT's recent hazy IPA's. Medium-long finish, as a light complexion and ample carbonation keep the palate clean between sips.

Tasty brew, a bit of a hybrid between West Coast and NE styles.

 

 

 

A: Hoppy with lots of danky, cannabis like qualities, faint malt, coupled with fruity yeast.

A: Yellow-orange color, opaque, with a thin white head that has has adequate retention. Light lacing in the glass.

T; Hoppy flavors of citrus, tropical fruit, with light sweet malt, followed by a moderately light hip bitterness and lightly dry finish.

M: Medium bodied, moderate carbonation with soft, moderately juicy mouth-feel.

O: Solid; the beer has an interesting hop profile that's complimented with a soft mouth-feel. Pretty easy to drink.
