Gallery Series #006: NE DIPA
Trimtab Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

I got a can of this from an Atlanta beer store just before my appendix went cray cray. It poured a hazy orangish with very thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had ripe fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with dank ripe fruit. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had from can April 2018

Very solid NEIPA, but not great- a little too sweet, muffled fruit flavor; could stand for a little hop pop; regardless, worth trying

 

Classic galaxy hop saturation here with candied pineapple mango orange. Where this beer falls short is that it’s too sweet, far too sweet. And a little thin with some alcohol burn aftertaste going down. Guessing they’re using too many crystal/honey malts here. Final gravity is spot on at 1.021. Needs more body and less sweetness. Hop usage here is pretty good. I just can’t drink more than one of these. Betes.

 

 

Opaque maize yellow with a moderate dense beige foam settling to a spotty bubbly film and leaving tons of coral arms of lace.

Smell is juicy pineapple-mango puree with spicy eucalyptus, kiwi and hints of biscuit, light dank pepper and bubblegum.

Taste is smooth yet tingly mango peach vanilla marmalade with spritzy lime zest and a hint of evergreen, all flowing together with a very light but crisp fizz, finishing semi-dry. Overall this is sweeter than it is bitter.
