Turbidity Pale Ale
New Glory Craft Brewery

 

 

 

 

Can into a tulip glass.

L: Mildly hazy bronze yellow, pillowy 3 fingers of white variable density head with moderate retention and plenty of mixed lacing.

S: Lots of passionfruit, followed by graham cracker, some citrus once it warms.

T: Similar to the nose but with added citrus. Finish is soft, mild astringency, limited bitterness.

F: Lighter bodied, moderate carbonation, slick. (note that the draft version I rated initial was a 4, but had higher carbonation.

O: Easily the best beer I've had from them for my palate. Bumped up my original overall rating of 4 (draft) to a 4.25 (can). I'll grab this every time I see it, loved the beer and the ABV!

Appearance - Pours hazy and dirty straw yellow in color with a white, near finger width head. Sub-par retention, resulting in a thin, broken layer of suds with a fair ring around the edge of the glass. Not much for lacing, though a few small spots can be found.

Smell - Juicy and tropical aroma with notes of guava, passionfruit, grapefruit, hint of stonefruit and some mango.

Taste - Guava and white grapefruit upfront with a bit of passionfruit and lesser mango. A trace of green banana sneaks in mid-taste. Light, earthy oat notes can be found riding beneath. Light stonefruit nuttiness hits near the finish, while a faint pineapple zing can be found lingering with mild grapefruit in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - Mdeium-bodied with light, bitey carbonation. Smooth, slick texture that turns slightly dry and chalky in the finish. Overall, an easy drinker.

Overall - A damn fine hazy pale. Nice overall balance, with just enough hop bitterness to keep it interesting. Now with the former Assistant Head Brewer of Moonraker at the helm, it'll be interesting to see just how far and frequently New Glory pushes their hazy, hoppy brews.
