QDH: Codename Superfan
Odd13 Brewing

12 oz can from Tavour. Hazy, pale golden, instant foamy head, fixzles away to thin ring. Aroma is fruity, citrus and tropical both. Taste is more the fruty flavors, with a slight lingers bite. Feels, nice, but finishes quick, although then you notice the hold the bitterness still has on you palate. While its good and tasty, its just shy of awesome.

12oz can served in a tulip. Canned on 7/27/18. I think given to me by @mr-jj.

Pours a moderately hazy light yellow with little head and little carbonation. Smell is super fruity, lemon and pineapple.

Taste is bitter, melon, melon rind, some lemon zest. Lots of bitter.

Mouthfeel is medium, dry, and super resinous. Needs a bit more carbonation. Overall, it's not bad.

 

 

 

 

this beer is absurd. its working towards my theory that by 2025 or something breweries are going to be "20 times dry hopping" beers. four dry hops isnt necessary, two is hardly necessary with this beer, already a new school juice bomb, this is about the furthest extent i hope this ever goes, but i fear the one upping nature of the game these days will drive this style out of existence. who really wants to drink more than a little bit of this? its about as radical a departure from the ipa types i grew up on that i can possibly imagine, milky yellow and thick, looks like cornstarch stirred in and somewhat undissolved, sedimented, and pretty gross, although it has a tall and frothy white head and looks alive despite its heft. it smells great, really no denying that, and it tastes nice too, i do after all love hops, so thats not surprise. i get citra and mosaic i think, maybe amarillo too, oily and citrusy with canned pineapple and orange melon fruitiness, almost slick or greasy textured there are so much of them here. i like the fruity intensity, but it also comes with heaps of vegetal leafy greenness and bitterness, more than i want in a beer like this, and i think that works against the part of the hop experience i like here. too thick too, this is milkshakey and kind of nasty in texture, just too unrefined to be all the way appealing to me, even though i like the hops in here for the most part, its just overdone, a gimmick more than anything, and not a beer i am lining up to drink. it does the brewery a service though in that it makes me want to drink a normal superfan more than ever...

This is a straight hop bomb. Very dank and juicy. Smooth mouthfeel with a juicy hit up front that finishes dry with a good balance of bitterness. Almost like drinking unripe orange juice. You can almost chew on the hoppiness. Very good.

A little on the bitter side for me. The look is a nice rich yellow and the smell is sweet and citrusy, but the taste is not as full in the finish as I would expect.
