Gamma Ray Blue
Grimm Artisanal Ales

Slightly hazy amber brew with plenty of foam in the chalice. Sprightly on the tongue with the usual sharp acidity. Total fruit flavor with an astringent aftertaste. Tastes of orange with lemon highlights plus some canned peaches. Quite bitter and very sharp. Moderately murky taste but better than average for a hazy IPA. Yet another NEIPA that just says "Imperial IPA" on the label and no hint of the style. From the 16 oz can dated 04/11/2023.

 

 

 

 

 

A - Pours an opaque dark gold/tan color with a consistent layer of thin, frothy white head.

S - Peach, pineapple, some tropical fruit, and light apricot.

T - Follows the nose but with more intensity: Pineapple, peach, apricot, citrus, and some pear.

M - Thick and turns a frothy on the palate.

O - The real deal and worth seeking out.

 

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin collar around the edge of the glass and lots of lacing down the sides.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberry and lime are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell but is more rounded out, having additional flavors of stone fruit and hints of mango. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I liked the complexity of the flavors in the taste of this beer.

Serving type: can

From a 12-day-old can, pours a beautiful, hazy bright orange. Big head of foam, lots of lacing. Smell and taste feature citrus, pineapple and a bit of white grape. Light resinous bitterness in the finish. Another fantastic IPA from Grimm.
