Friday Playlist
New Glory Craft Brewery

I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club mixed pack. It poured a hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank berry mash notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with berry compote presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

 

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours slightly hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.

S: Citrus, slightly dank herbal notes, a little resinous pine, tropical and stone fruit hanging out in the background, biscuity malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness.

T: Citrus, lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine, tropical and stone fruit, mango, passion fruit, papaya, peach, and apricot, a little resinous pine, slight dank herbal notes, a bit floral, slightly crackery biscuity malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, a little softness on the palate.

O: Hitting the spot on this Friday night. Only changes I would make would be to give it a couple more IBUs and bump up the carbonation a touch to make it feel more like a true West Coast IPA.

Can dated 11/25/20 into a tulip pint.

L: Pours golden with nearly 2 fingers of frothy white head with good retention and left thick ringed lacing.

S: Nose is dominated by tropical fruit, few accenting attributes.

T: Follows the nose well. Wish there was more Mosaic presence. Finishes with moderate bitterness.

F: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, slick on the tongue and the swallow.

O: There's lots to like here, but I feel underwhelmed given the hop bill. I'd definitely happily grab again, but wouldn't seek out.
