Fresh Lanes
Ten Pin Brewing Co.

Draft at brewery. Another fresh hop beer that focuses on the malts. Medium amber, hazy, small foamy head. Sweet woody malts in the aroma and taste. Caramel, raisins, earthy flavors, some drying mellow hops finish it. I like what this brewery is doing with fresh hops.

Served in shaker. Poured a lightly hazy honey gold color with just 1/4 inch of white head that had good retention and lacing.

The aroma had a low malt base, with citrus and pine hops on top.

Same on the tongue, low grains with somewhat brighter hops.

The body was smooth, a touch on the full side of medium, and had a semi-dry finish.

Drinkability was very nice, woulda likely had several if I had had it during fresh hop season.

Overall, anothe nice brew from the folks in Moses Lake. Worth a shot if you see it.

a nice fruity wet hopped ipa, a neat mix of hops in it, whatever they are, resinous and dank, but also kind of light and drinkable compared to some of the others i have had this season in the style. its got a little hazy to it, a lot of bubbles, and is dry on the finish, so drinks on the easy side as they go. the hops have notes of wet pine, sticky weed, honeysuckle, lemongrass, mango, and papaya, a very tropical essence about the whole thing, even a hint of lime zest, but the beer is equally floral and herbal as it is fruity to me, it seems balanced in its hop profile, and even has some bitterness, which so many of these fresh hop ones lack. things like orange and coconut also come up for me, lemon too, and some light vegetal greenness before the bitter element kicks up. simple malt base but there is good roundness to this, its not just hop tea. i think the fermentation could be a little more tidy, there is a slight yeast thing to this that maybe doesnt belong, but overall the beer is real good and the hop profile is distinctive. solid beer, these guys are two for two in my very limited experience with their stuff now!
