The Descent
Greenpoint Beer & Ale Company

Open the can, nice pineapple, peaches on the nose.

It pours a very nice light golden amber, just barely opaque with a frilly lace crown that hugs the top of the glass.

Tastes piney, with a touch of a malt backend but then a very dry finish.

I didn’t really have my eye on this but the manager of the establishment told me it was one of the new brews out. I have to say, I’m a huge fan of the can art.

 

 

A: The beer is extremely hazy yellow in color and got cloudier towards the bottom of the can. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that consisted of medium-sized bubbles that settled down, leaving lacing on the surface, a thin collar around the edge, and webbing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of tropical fruit hops are present in the nose—mangos seem to stand out in particular. Notes of pineapples also become noticeable as the beer warms up.
T: The taste follows the smell, having flavors of mangos along with hints of oranges and pineapples. There is a faint amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied, slightly crisp, and rather juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The label on this can looks like tie dye and it kind of feels that way on your mouth as well as there are alternating splashes of mango, pineapple, and citrusy flavors.

Serving type: can
