Repetitive Originality
Transient Artisan Ales

 

 

Second DDH NE IPA from Transient and it’s so much better than the last one at the finish.
Poured golden amber with parchment white head and left rings marking my swallows.
Smelled citrus and peach and hops and though that doesn’t look appealing (to me anyway) it worked very well.
The taste followed with the peach (where did that come from?) leading and citrus following and mild bitter hops wrap it all up. Each sip (who am I kidding, gulp) begged for a repeat.
The feel was excellent, just enough back end bitterness to finish the fruit off, but not enough to dry out the swallow.
OA, darn good beer, need to keep an eye out for it.

A beautiful, muted golden orange haze swirls and pushes a fluffy froth nearly 2 fingers high. It drops off to a milky ring that leaves a bit of sticky lacing.
Aroma blasts citrus, followed by mango and pineapple. Some grass, grain, and weed come through afterward. Slightly herbal tinge on the back end.
Taste is juicy citrus, orange & tangerine, with a smooth pineapple trailer. A nice green weed note mellows its way in. But the finish is citrus and bitter.
Mouthfeel is fluffy and goes down clean and slick. Refreshing. Carbonation is lively but smooth.
Overall, more please.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a fluffy one finger white head. Nice amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is orange, pineapple and grapefruit.

T - The taste orange, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew and bitter hops.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a nice soft finish.

O - Another really solid NEPA from Transient. Bright tropical fruits with a light bitter hop finish. Super crushable.

The beer poured a hazy, pale yellow ochre hue and was topped by a frothy, finger-tall, bright white crown that quickly fell to a thin collar. Streaks of drippy lacing stuck along the glass.

The aroma was amazingly hoppy and juicy. Generic tropical fruit notes dominated. Juicy Fruit gum came to mind. Sweet but appropriately so for the style. Hint of weed-like dankness. Pineapple notes appeared later. Some ripe mango too. Touch of booze.

The flavor profile was initially very similar to the nose. Super fruity and juicy. Big generic tropical fruit presence. As the beer sat, the tropical fruit notes subsided and citrus took over. Loads of orange flesh and pithy orange peel. Good dose of tangerine too. Moderately bitter. Pineapple came through strong in the center. More orange and orange rind on the back end and the finish. Touch of grapefruit rind as well. Some resiny bitterness lingered after the swallow.

The mouthfeel was lighter bodied yet very solid. Creamy, fluffy and slick on the palate. The liquid contained a finely beaded, fairly aggressive effervescence that turned soft and smooth on the palate.

Repetitive Originality is a terrific juicy, fruity and highly crushable double IPA by the folks at Transient. I definitely have to keep an eye out for their other hoppy beers. Thanks to cpsfgd for this fantastic extra!

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on October 6, 2020.

Very hazy pineapple color with a dense pearl white head that provides superior lacing down the glass. The nose is ripe tangerine, grapefruit, passion fruit, and pineapple.

The tangerine flavor leads the taste, but the pineapple on the finish is the star. This is a juice box for grown ups - really exceptionally well-executed, and maybe my favorite Transient juice bomb.

Yep, I typed that.
