Bottle Logic Brewing

A: Pours a milky murky bright mango orange in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + bright orange + peach + apricot + burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/tangerine + citrus/grapefruit + citrus/orange zest + tropical/pineapple hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + oat + wheat malts with a moderate amount of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + oat + wheat malts with a moderate amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/tangerine + citrus/grapefruit + citrus/orange zest + tropical/pineapple hops which impart a minimal amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving moderate lingering citrus hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Drinks quite easily for the strength with well hidden alcohol and a very pleasant creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with lots of citrus and just a little tropical hop flavors + aromas.

Poured from 1 pint can golden hazy with light white quickly fading foamy cap and visible sediment at the bottom. Notes of citrus, stone fruit and pineapple. Really nice local DIPA at 8.3% ABV.

 

 

 

Big foam in the Duvel Green tulip with cloudy anberish brew. Thick and slushy on the tongue, some prickles of carbonation. Aroma is tutti fruitti, taffy, orange sherbert. There's also a whiff of the compost pail. Massive fruit flavor, old oranges to be precise, with a shot of Yukon Jack. Extremely sweet with the relentless citrus peel heat.

I call it a sludgy taste, and the acidity starts taking over, though it's more drinkable than many NE style. Just when you think brewers have explored all corners of strangeness, here is yet another taste bud puzzler. From the 16 oz can purchased from Bind Lady. Not dated but apparently new batch..
