Party Drank
Cellarmaker Brewing Co.

West coast dipa enjoyed a week after canning. Trying to make the stay-in-place more enjoyable.

Pours a clear golden. Big vibrant bouquet of hoppy goodness, pineapple upfront along with some tangerine notes. The flavor presents more juicy pineapple. Little bitterness on the end. Dangerously drinkable.

L: Clear straw hue with one finger breath of head, moderate legs.

S: Sweet fresh citrus fragrance of orange peel, passion fruit, and tangerines.

T: Very smooth and balanced for a double IPA. Nice gradual creshendo of oranges, mangos, melons, and apricots flavors as it fizzes on the tastebuds. Then it gradually disappears to a nice dry danky finish.

F: Medium bodied

O: I had for of these at four cans of this beer at different intervals. Initially, i didn’t like it, but once it aged a little and found its sweet spot, its pretty good! Very balanced and well executed, timing is key.

Appearance - The beer poured a light orange color with a white head crowning the glass.

Smell - The nose had notes of peach and citrus. It was not overly bitter.

Taste - The initial profile was soft citrus fruit. It was not tooth rottingly sweet or overly citric as to not taste like beer. The profile was lightly dank toward the dank, and well balanced overall.

Mouthfeel - There was sone viscosity to the body, allowing the profile to linger and smothering some of the carbonation.

Overall - Without fancy bells and whistles, this is a solid imperial IPA.

 

Can from Lúpulo. Only 5 days old.
Bronze with a slight haze. Not a lot of head.
Smells like tropical fruits but also an impressive balance of citrus, pine, and grass.
Taste is more on the citrus side with honey, bitter dry finish. Aftertaste of a pine forest.
Perfect mouthfeel.
The initial smell is instantly pliny the elder. This is not a bad thing.
Highly recommended. Feel excited to try it. A result of the shelter-in-place, which hopefully will be over soon and we’ll laugh about it later. Hopefully.
