Industry Versus Inferiority
Bissell Brothers Brewing Co.

An absolutely perfect beer. Not overly juicy but a perfect balance of juiciness sweat and excellent mouth feel. Great alc percentage as well.

L: hazy light golden yellow.

S: citrus and tropical fruits with an overtone of spruce.

T: Complex, developing flavour profile. Citrus and pineapple at first, then hops and biscuity oats with a piney backbone, then a really long slightly bitter floral finish.

F: big and layered with low to medium carbonation.

O: my favourite NEIPA so far this year. Excellent, satisfying beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: Pours a hazy golden yellow-orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a decent cap that leaves good lacing

S: Citrus, tropical fruit, and pine up front along with a touch of wheat and light herbal/floral undertones

T: Follows the nose. Starts off with a mix of citrus, pine, and the herbal hop notes. Slowly picks up the tropical fruit and floral notes along with the wheat. Mild, lingering bitterness. Finishes with lingering citrus and pine

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

O: A good, easy drinking NEIPA. Worth checking out

Really love this beer. Crisp and hoppy without bitter burn. But maybe the ugliest good tasting beer I have ever had.

 

 

Poured from a can dated 11/23/21
Thick apricot color with an inch high creamy head, soapy lacing, thin cap

Aroma of tropical fruits, melon, lemon, mint, malt and some pine. Kind of a overripe fruit note.

Taste is fruity as in guava, pineapple, grapefruit, mint and melon. Kind of resinous but some sweetness to balance out the wet old grass taste.

Big mouthfeel with a whole bunch of layers, tropical fruit, bitter citrus rind, malt, mint and melon. Fairly smooth With medium carbonation and finishes slightly sour dry with a hint of a spearmint note.

Overall it’s a well balanced well layered beer. A lot of fruits and a surprisingly nice mint like finish. Easy drinking just enough sweetness to take the edge off the bitterness

 

Canned on 12/31/20; consumed on 2/9/21

Pours a hazy, golden copper body sporting distinctly orange hues and topped with multiple fingers of fluffy, soapy, white foam; good head retention leaves spotty chunks of cap, a slight, frothy collar, and globs of webby lacing ringing around the walls of the glass.

Aroma is an herbal cacophony upfront, highlighting wet cilantro and sage as notes of musty lemon peel guide into sweeter hints of pineapple over the middle; lighter orange zest and minty guava peek past the herbal overtones on the back end of the bouquet, and close with wisps of strawberry lingering in spots.

Taste opens trending slightly fruitier than the aroma, bringing guava rind meeting fresh grass to transition toward denser notes of tangerine and mango oils over the mid-palate and into the back end; touches of lychee and fresh pineapple develop as soft, flaky malts finish with a fading amalgam best described as wet vegetable garden.

Mouthfeel shows a medium-light body maintaining a persistently flaky crispness upfront, while a pillowy, moderate carbonation eases into a mid-palate of mild resin dragging into hints of bitterness around the finish and a slight heft left on the palate.

An odd hop combo produces dominate overtones of fresh, raw vine, unrefined and intensely herbal in character to a point where little else can develop; unfortunately good construction can only take this one so far, as it's almost entirely one-dimensional in it's eccentric levels of earthy ripeness.

It has a beautiful amber color but a pungent smell due to the Idaho hops. Very strong “pot” smell, which I don’t like. The taste is quite pleasant and clean though.

 

Good not great
