Cloudy even with a gentle pour. Large head which settles to a thick film and leaves a near blanketing of lace. The liquid is amber-brown.

I’m getting a mild starchy aroma. After that it becomes a bit plasticky, surprising at the end, the hop comes in subtly.

Creamy body and taste. The carbonation is low which creates a bit of an oily feel and brings forward the alcohol. The finish becomes bitter but remains balanced. Longer aftertaste. A deceptive beer to drink belying the 8% abv.

A: cloudy, almost murky; medium gold in color; a 1 finger finely pored ivory head that receded to a splotchy ca; nice lacing;

S: mint;

T: non-descript citrus with mint in the background; mild bitterness at the end;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; dry finish; soft;

O: different;

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazed orange-amber color with a small head of white foam. The head fades slowly over time and leaves a moderate level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The smell is strong of an apricot and tangerine smell mixed with notes of tropical fruits of mango and pineapple. Along with these smells comes a strong showing of grapefruit hop and some accompanying herb. Rounding it out is a bit of melon and a touch of oat and biscuit.
Taste – The taste begins with a sweet and rather malty flavor with lots of tangerine, apricot, peach, mango, and papaya along with a oat and bready base flavor. There is a moderate showing of grapefruit and herbal hop, both of which get slightly stronger. All the while the malt and the fruit grow even more intense, shifting the balance of the brew and making it somewhat overly thick and malty. A little bit of melon and some hay join in a the end, leaving one with a rather fruity and sweet, heavy malt taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is heavy and thick with a modest carbonation level. Would have liked it a little thinner even for an 8 % abv. Like fruit syrup.
Overall – A bit too malty and sweet for me, even for the style and abv.

From the pint can, it pours a hazy amber color with a modest white head that soon reduces to a thin layer and leaves lacing. Scent is citrusy and very pleasant. Taste haz a citrusy zing with a mild slightly citrusy sour aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium.

 

Smooth, very nice body. Sweet w/enough bitterness. Really enjoyed this one.

A nice hazy look with a somewhat thick creamy feel. Has a smooth citrus taste but sweet and juicy as well. A very good DIPA.

Love it, juicy, not too much - great can art

Pours a hazy dark orange with a 1F head and moderate lacing.

Smells of slightly dank floral hops with citrus.

Tastes of slightly tart grapefruit, orange, mango and cantaloup with a slightly bitter alcohol warm finish.

Medium heavy body with light carbonation. Lush, syrupy dry mouthfeel.

This is a very drinkable and juicy brew.

Born on date of 05/26/2023. Pours a hazy yellow with a vibrant, fluffy head. I don't get a lot of aroma, but that's probably just me. Hazy beers seldom get a high ranking from on appearance because I just don't think they're very attractive looking. Taste is pleasantly hoppy and slightly juicy, but not overdone. Mouthfeel is creamy, soft and finishes rather dry with a short, lingering hoppiness. ABV is pretty well hidden. Overall, a very nice, easy drinking beer from Berkshire Brewing.

Shoutout to the can artwork artist - Kate Aurelia Holloway - nice job!!

poured from a can dated 4/17/23

thick yellow color, nice soft white head with good retention, soapy lacing.
aroma is bright peach, apricot and citrus
Taste is fruity peach apricot and citrus. A hint of sweet banana comes though
thick and slightly stick mouthfeel, medium carbonation pretty smooth and layered. finishes a tic astringent.
overall it's a nice tasting beer, alcohol is well hidden and nice layers of flavor.

 

The can I've got is a little old (7 months) but it's still delicious. The vibe here is floral tea. Very good. I'd love to try this fresh.

IPA- Imperial / Double

Thickly settled bright fruit hop dankness. Very smooth, very fresh. Saturated sweet golden malty vibe with an equal amount of bright hops. Your tongue will need a break.
