Proxima
Modern Times Beer

16oz with no canned on date visible. Opened 5-9-20.
1" white head, decent staying power, slowly recedes to a solid cap. Orange-gold and hazy IPA. Early lacing and wispy lace pattern on the back wall.
Only got about 15oz of this one due to much sludge appearing toward the end of the pour.
Orange, peach, apricot, berries and a creamy malt base.
Big fruity sweet and sappy hop flavors. Mango, orange, some bitter pine. Lemon peel late.
Between medium and full body, appropriate carbonation. Soft and round mouthfeel. Decent punch of resiny pine bitterness followed by a lengthy syrupy fruit hop finish that's semi-sweet.
Good.
My first sub 4 beer from Modern Times.

 

This pours a candied orange with some foaming. Light aroma with candied tangerine and a hint of pineapple notes. Low bitterness, sweet finish, lots of citrusy fruit juice.

 

Quite a tasty hazy IPA color is as expected a hazy bright yellow with no sediment chunks and a nice half-inch of froth that settles to a good ring. Smell is on par mango papaya fruity hops but the taste being very balanced not very strong ethanol notes smooth body is more medium then I expected but it is kind of a higher gravity hazy IPA. Overall better than I expected loving the high gravity hazy IPA

 

Loved this beer! The first Modern Times canned beer I've tasted. Had several at the San Diego brewery. Proxima has it all, great citrus bouquet, a little less hazy than its hazy billing. The hop flavors(!) come at you in waves: mango, peach. Silky mouthfeel. Complex. Delightful!

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop cooler 3-3-20 for $3.24. Canned on 1/24/20; consumed 5/6/10. Cold stored since purchase.

Beer poured a cloudy orange with a nice white head that is leaving some lacing behind.

Nose has orange, mango, grapefruit which is a nice bouquet.

Taste is really well balanced with the pale malt base melding well with the orange, mango, and grapefruit. Finishes with very little discernable bitterness; 4/10 on my scale.

Mouthfeel is soft but a medium weight finishing pretty refreshing.

Overall a tasty beer!

 

Poured from a 1 pint can. Canned on 02/03/2020.
A nice looking pour, the nose is nice and dank but the taste is so so i have had many better ones.
Overall a ok East Coast IPA.

First time seeing this in stores after seeing many people check into it online. Website description read, “We’ll be employing monstrous quantities of Mosaic, Comet, and Chinook hops to craft this incredibly tasty IPA, yielding vibrant notes of mango, grapefruit, and pineapple that will be virtually impossible to consume without issuing forth sighs of delight and contentment.”

Poured a medium yellow-to-gold hazy color with two fingers of off-white frothy head. Calm setting underneath with no noticeable bubbles. Good spotty lacing. World-class retention. (Sight - 4.00)

Smelled Mosaic, cat piss, grapefruit, viney berry, Juicy Fruit, pineapple, pine, black pepper, mango and cedar. Much of the same from the can. (Smell - 4.25)

An outstanding beer for the style. Will be having this again. (Overall - 4.00)

Can from beer mule approx 2 months old.
Smells like ripe melon, papaya, mango.
Ripe mango taste, slight bitterness and burn going down. Little dankness. Banana aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel.
Overall: ok but not impressive.

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Orange golden pour, thick two finger head. Citrusy aroma, mostly oranges and pith. Taste continues with a mouthful of tangy orange juice. Sweet and juicy and that oh so sharp bite. Nice!
