Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a murky burnt orange with a brief off-white head. Good lacing. Initial impression is juicy mango, orange, and pink grapefruit. Fairly sweet to start, but morphs nicely into a refreshing bitterness. Mouthfeel is deliciously thick, sticky, and soft. Overall, an absolutely excellent NEDIPA that makes me wish I'd bought more than a single!

 

L- hazy golden orange

S- orange, tangerine

T- citrus, mandarin orange, grapefruit, papaya, guava, sweet upfront, lingering bitterness on the finish

F- medium, silky soft body

O- quite a nice hazy DIPA, would purchase again

 

 

 

Very tasty, smooth and creamy feel, moderate sweetness in line with the style but not excessive. There is a bit of hop burn on the finish which I actually find really appealing. In earlier days I found this to be prevalent and simply too pronounced in nearly every hoppy beer BBCO turned out but it feels like that’s in check now and the “burn” at the end makes
For a snappy finish that reminds you you’re drinking an IIPA after all, not a slushy fruit drink.

 

 

 

 

Many thanks to SawDog505 for this can!

A - Dense opaque dark golden orange color and white creamy lacing. It literally looks like a full glass of fruit / orange juice.

S - Pulpy citrus aroma.

T - Sweet citrus all the way through and ends with some juicy pine bitterness to balance things out. Pineapple, lime, spicy peppery citrus rind, and mango, with some alcohol presence and slight alcohol warming in the back of the throat.

M - Thick and frothy on the palate, overly thick for the style.

O - Rock solid and worth checking out.

Thx again, Tim!

 

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 1/29/2021. Pours a very attractive hazy orange yellow with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace, with nice retention. 4.5

Aroma ripe melon, passionfruit, pineapple, and apricot. 4.25

Taste follows cantaloupe, pineapple, passionfruit, and apricot really balanced. 4.25

Mouthfeel is medium, gentle carbonation, not dry or sticky, and 8% ABV it goes down very easy. 4.5

Overall another excellent beer from Burlington Brewing Company. Always quality beers from them. 4.25

Poured from a can, dated 03-19-20. I picked it up at the store fresh from a delivery today so it's about 6 weeks old already.
Anyways, it's my first beer from this brewery, and I'm very happy I picked it up!

Smells of dank pineapple, kiwi and green tropical candy.
Taste follows, with a blend of tropical fruit qualities and lightly bitter grapefruit. Some sweet candy character and soft cushy grainy malt base. A hint of spicy bitterness in the end.

A very nice imperial NE IPA, I'm glad they shipped it out!

 

 

 

 

A: Pours a yellow-orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap

S: Lots of citrus and tropical fruit up front along with some lighter floral and dank hop notes

T: Follows the nose. Starts off with the citrus and tropical fruit and then goes into the floral and dank herbal notes. Very light malt. Finishes with a mix of tropical fruit and dank hops

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

O: A very good DIPA that is highly focused on the NZ hops. Easy to drink for 8%. Definitely worth checking out

Pours a creamy, opaque pale gold color with a one finger off-white silky head.

Aroma is sweet with pineapple, banana and faint musty notes. Unusual.

The flavor is similar, starting off strong and keeping it up into the finish. It should be noted that this is not a pineapple dominant flavor. The banana esther notes are present enough to share the limelight equally. I get a touch of ribbon candy in there too. Pale malts are discernible.

Mouthfeel is so thick and creamy and super soft. Light carbonation and almost no bitterness make this a hops show.

This is a really well.done NEIPA but I don't think I can drink a lot of these with the banana notes. A real treat nonetheless.

Is it me or is BBC trying to hide their canning dates on the sides of their cans? The hell if I know for sure, whatever. However, I did find the date marked in a "sublimated" style emblazoned "091319" next to the key hole of that door on the logo, left side. One can rub their finger along the side and feel it.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a milky opaque yellow color, if motor oil had this color you wouldn't want to put it in your engine but it sure had the "glub glub" sound pouring out of my can. A nice finger's worth of white foamy head softly slid off to leave some spotty lace speckling the sides of my glass.
The aroma had pineapple chunk puree' with creamy banana sweetness rolling into some mango notes. Brisk piney sweetness makes a small play underneath.
The flavor started with the banana creamy sweetness and pineapple chunk puree' then had a small creamy biscuity malt. Subtle aftertaste of the pineapple chunks, banana cream and a bit of a sharper pine needle sweet bite.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fantastic sipping quality about it due to some piney hop bitterness but hot damn, it's so mobile as it's running so smoothly along my tongue. Slight stickiness in the finish.
Overall, what an absolutely amazing gem of a New England styled DIPA! I have contemplated several times of giving up on this style but if they were all brewed like this, I bet this could turn the haters to drinkers! No hop heat anywhere in this beer. ABV seemed as projected.
