Pours that cantaloupe golden orange with white head. I get some melon on the nose. I get some sweaty mango. Yes, sweaty. It kinda has some soaked gym clothes character to me. Well, it's certainly not as pungent as my gym clothes. I realize I've gone off about gym clothes for a long time but it's only a small component of this. Anyway, It's not particularly gripping from a hop character. It has a soft burn-free mouthfeel. It's alright.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at the Bissell Brothers Brewery in Portland Maine for about nineteen dollars. My eighth brew from these guys. Very good.

Pours a super-hazed gold/honey with one finger of cream colored head. Pretty good lacing & head retention

S: Plenty of oranges, papaya, fades a touch as this beer warms up.

T: Grapefruit, tangerine, lime & a little dryness, plus some kiwi fruit up front. Dryness & straight juice as this beer warms up, also passion fruit & green melon. Finishes mostly bitter, grapefruit, lime, blood orange & dryness. some citric acidity as well

MF: Medium body, restrained carbonation, great balance

Very much the juice, bomb; I do like them a little sweeter, but feel lucky to have tried this. ABV is well hidden

Not all that glimmers is gold, but that's hard to believe with Bissell Brother's Imperial Hazy IPA. Brewed with Citra, Equinox and Amarillo hops, their beer has enough complex identity, a unique flavors profile and not bogged down to muddled hops flavors. Yep, everything looks golden from here!

Nothing Gold kicks off with a deep goldenrod hue, basically opaque from its heavy silt and cream. As a stark-white froth builds upon the rim, the high aroma of citrus, melon, herb, tropical fruit and marmalade creates a curious and complex perfume. Sweet and creamy on the tongue, a heavy coat of cereal, pastry and honey locks onto the early palate.

As the fruit flavors from hops roll into the flavor mix, the grains show a slow fade and keep the session plump, creamy and flavorful through the middle palate. Trending rife with orange, peach, apricot, red grapefruit, papaya and cantaloup are but a few of the flavors found in the fruit cocktail created on the tastebuds. A late step into bitterness is smooth and balancing with suggestions of cedar, spruce, sassafras, hemp, tea and peppery resins.

Full bodied and seeming like bitter poundcake on the palate, the beer treads on the malty side of malty-dry and with a medium-long linger of fruit peels, gin-like botanicals and bellini.

Poured from a can dated 8/30/22
Grapefruit colored and white soapy head
Aroma of mango and pineapple with hints of citrus rind
Taste is fruity slightly sour and dankish
Mouthfeel is astringent up front to a lingering slightly bitter citrus finish. There is a tiny bit of alcohol burn
Overall it’s a tasty on the bitter side juice bomb, drinks fairly easy and refreshing
