Our new IPA brewed with pisner malt, oats and well hopped with Denali (formerly exp #06277). Ripe pineapple, guava, berry. Tons of hop candy character.

Picked this up ages ago at Greenpoint, finally getting around to it this week along with all of their other brews that I've had in my queue. This one had an experimental hop but all I could feel in this was pine - lots of it. Crisp, refreshing, and a bit tropical, this was another easygoing beer from that went down easily but didn't have anything in particular memorable about it.
Good pour to this as the beer had a light apricot hue full of resin. The head was one of the thinnest I ever saw as it was web-like and short lasting. The same was true for the lacing there wasn't much to be seen besides a few small and thick spots that coated the back of my Teku glass. Lots of tropical fruit, some cream, and clean pine and evergreen in the nose with all of those present in the taste as well. Slick, thin, and oily, this seemed more left coast than local as the experimental hop wasn't quite like anything I had before. Low carbonation and basic malt kept this easygoing but this never felt too light, even after it went down...
Not a lot of booze to this as this felt quite sessionable, even though that wasn't the case. The Pilsener felt more like oat as there was a bit of chewiness to this once it was gone but that was a good thing as it gave this beer needed depth. Not a winner but sometimes, it's good just to have something that doesn't hit my senses over their proverbial head!

Poured from a 16oz can into a speiglau IPA glass.
Look is a hazy golden color with amber highlights and a thin white head.
Aroma is lots of tropical fruits passion fruit and mango very present. Some vegetal or herbal note running through it.
Taste is intensely bitter but with a fruity undertone. Kinda like a tiki drink with a lot of bitters.
Nice single hop beer.
