The Unreachable Sinking Sun
Four Quarters Brewing Co.

 

16 oz can.

Pours a muddy pale gold color with a large effervescent white head. Good retention. Leaves a nice ring of lacing around the top of the glass.

The aroma is quite citrusy, bringing notes of orange and grapefruit with a hint of lemon zest. There's also a fair bit of honeydew melon, pineapple, and guava.

The flavor brings notes of orange and lemon, as well as some melon, pineapple, apricot, and guava with some subtle pine on the finish.

The feel is medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Very smooth and creamy.

Overall, a good NEIPA that is full of fruity flavors yet solidly balanced. Very drinkable despite the ABV.

 

 

 

 

From a 16 fl. oz. can that I sampled on July 3, 2020.

This looks exactly as a D-NEIPA should look with a light amber color that is opaque in its hazy appearance and a fluffy white head.

The aroma is low profile all around but I pick up some nice floral, pine, and guava characters along with a sourdough or cereal grain base.

The mouthfeel is chewy and better than medium.

A sweet flavor to start that is quickly usurped by the pine and floral hop notes. But it remains decently balanced without a long lingering bitter finish. In fact it is not all that bitter at the end.

 

 

 

4 pack dated 12/9/19, so quite fresh. Appealing murky opaque light orange in the mug. The nose on this is seductive and complex. The taste follows with orange and tropical notes. And then comes the bit of funk. There's just a bit of dank bitter that sneaks in and disappoints. If you like that combo, this could be your beer. For me this beer is like a girl with a great figure and smart, but has a really nasal voice. Give me Space Face.

PS Tried to upload a photo, but can't. Seriously, EXACTLY 150x300 pixels??? Someone needs to loosen up and have a beer.

Can to tulip.
The appearance was an opaque burnt woody yellowed orange rimmed by a subtle ring of lace near the top to slide off nicely to leave some concave lace.
The aroma had some orange juicy pulpy sweetness riding into some piney bitterness and grassiness. Subtle melon.
The flavor leaned towards a slight bitter piney quality initially but starts to open up with some grapefruit/orange/citrusy melon blended character. Nice piney aftertaste of grapefruit pith, white pepper, citrus rind and a touch of melon.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied, perhaps a touch above. Nice low carbonation like a New England styled one. Slight zesty/grassy/piney hop bittersweetness with some creamy effects in the finish.
Overall, I'd say a pretty nicely done DIPA clocking in close to a New England styled IPA but with a stronger bitterness. Still, I really liked it.

16 oz undated can poured into a can glass yielded a grapefruit juice color and a thin ring of foam. Soapy looking lace on the glass
Aroma is melon and a hint of citrus
Taste follows the nose but to an acidic citrus rind taste and feel
Juicy full mouth that tingles on the tongue
Finished dry to to slightly astringent
Overall I feel it’s a fine representation of the style.

Tall can, I can see no dating info.

Fine looking fully hazed NEIPA squash soup pour...all under a lasting, creamy cap. Nice looking ringed and webbed sheeting.

Fresh tropical fruit sniff, with melon, bananas and pina colada.

Tasty, flavorful, smooth and highly enjoyable to my taste buds...sniff extends onto the palate, more of the same and I like it. Some bright lime notes express them selves in the finish, adding a level of complexity and nicely drying things out...Very enjoyable take on the style. Go get some
