Ghost Train
Modern Times Beer

 

 

Lychee, orange and grapefruit juice, creamsicle, mango, sugary notes. Beautifully smooth and fruity.

 

 

 

16 oz can into a pint glass

Cloudy, completely opaque, orange-brown appearance. A half-inch head leaves ample lacing as it recedes.

Tropical nose, with notes of mango, guava nectar. Spicy hops edge a relatively subdued bouquet.

More citrusy on the palate, as notes of tangerine and orange pith play off a spicy, snappy hop twang. Dries a bit toward the back of the sip, a little grassy, but otherwise closes with a long, semi-sweet finish.

Probably one of the better NE-styled IPA MT has done, but it's getting harder and harder to parse these out.

 

 

 

Pours a very hazy yellow. Had at Modern Times Tasting room in San Diego.

Very fruity and tropical, a typical good IPA BY Modern Times.

Great IPA, another job well done by Modern Times. It pours a lighter color of yellow than some other hazy IPA's I've had recently, but still super cloudy. (I live near TG so they are my point of reference on Hazy IPA's.) Smell and taste are amazing.. super tropical. This can was less that 2 weeks old, so it was still very fresh. The mouthfeel was outstanding, one of the best I've had for an IPA. Luxurious and smooth, just incredible. This is a beer that I personally would certainly seek out, but it will probably get lost in the noise of the crowded hazy IPA market.

 

Great double IPA however I felt the mouthfeel was lacking. Was white watery. Needs to kick it up to keep up with the north Easters. Great beer though.

 

Best hazy double I've had yet from Modern Times. Tons of mouthfeel, no bitterness. Move over hedge witch!
