Light orange, a hazy IPA. This has a lot of the usual tropical fruit smell and taste, overall pretty good. Pineapple and guava, orange peel and other citrus elements. Not too rich but still a full bodied IPA. Pretty good.

 

 

 

 

A- Nice pineapple yellow color, with a thin layer of white head and sparkling spotted lacing
S- tropical fruit cocktail with galaxy hops taking centre stage through passionfruit and mango, complemented by a citrus undertone
M-Medium body with a thick resinous mouth feel and low to medium end carbonation
T-Sweet tropical fruit cocktail with a smooth bitter hum that lingers pleasantly on the pallet
O- this is an outstanding beer well-crafted and delicious

 

Poured a cloudy yellow-orange with one-finger head that quickly died and left lace ring down glass. Aroma is mildly sweet grapefruit and nice floral citric burst. Beer is fuller-bodied with a tropical fruit-esque sweetness and pleasant, mildly bitter acidic hop bite with clean finish thanks to something like tangerine or papaya for a sweet touch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy sunset orange color. A moderate frothy head retains well and yields splashes of lacing around the glass.
The nose is quite fruity. First impressions are of tropical fruit, mango, papaya and banana. Other fruit aromas include peach, melon and oranges. Some earthy aromas include light notes of floral hops, while the malt evokes honey.
As expected as evidenced by the aroma, the taste is fruity and juicy. It opens quite sweetly with honey malt and creamy oats flavors that are quickly surpassed by fruity hops. Flavors of mango, banana, peach, apricot and orange juice concentrate. Although there is not much bitterness, the herbal hops provide a piny, sticky and resiny spice that balances the sweetness.
Medium to full bodied with a sticky, chewy and slightly creamy mouthfeel. The finish is resiny and dry with a touch of bitterness. The predominance of citrusy hops coats the mouth with a pleasantly stinging zest.
Nice Doubke NEIPA that is on the sweet side yet with a nice resiny quality.
