Hop It, Don't Drop It (Fresh Hop Edition)
StormBreaker Brewing

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that has good retention properties and consistently left a short head covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of dank citrus and floral hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and also has hints of herbal hops. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is an enjoyable fresh hop beer and has accentuated flavors of hops, particularly in the taste.

Serving type: can

16oz can into a pint glass. No freshness dating, but a recent release.

Looks good in the glass. Very hazy pear juice colored body. Small white head shrinks to a ring, scattered lacing.

Pleasing tropical hoppy aroma.

On tasting, hoppy, juicy, not overly fruity, quite warming.

Finish closer to full than medium, finish is where a little bittering comes in. Also faintly metallic.

Overall, standard decent hoppy NE ipa, finish the only quibble.

Medium golden and hazy with a white head then went to a cap quickly. Scent is great on this beer, all tropical and fruity. The flavor is fruity and dank, pear comes to mind, bitterness is tempered at the finish and gives it a crisp feel. Decent carbonation. This is good here but even more sweetness would put this over the top. Good stuff

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy orange golden pour with a thin creamy head. Aroma has tropical fruit up front supported by orange juice. Taste is a blend of tropical fruit with light citrus. Kind of juicy. Some hoppy bitterness slips in at the finish.

Hazy orange/yellow color with mild lacing. Scents of lemon and orange, but not strong. Taste is more present, a bit of a tangy hop presence with those citrus notes. Rounds as it warms, goes from light to medium bodied, mouth watering, a pleasantly boozy presence. Enjoyed this more as it warmed.
