Built Different
Transient Artisan Ales

Built Different apparently means hops were added during fermentation. And it works for me. In my humble opinion, this is delicious. Hoppy hoppy hoppy. You can smell the hops as you pour it. Beautiful head that hangs around for awhile, still on the sides of the glass as I consume it. Hazy. Golden, amber color. Taste is pure citrus, hoppy grapefruit. I love grapefruit. This is a double ipa, extra hops fermented with extra malt. Of course, it would have to be. It’s built different.

 

 

I shared a can of this beer with at my Brah-in-law's house. It poured a slightly hazy golden with very thin white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had bold tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet juicy ripe fruit base balanced by tropical citrus fruit hop. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

 

Looks the part of a Transient IPA, barely blushing peach orange, hard to photograph well. Scorched grain, earthy white grape, peach, orange aromas. Medium bodied, gentle, rolling sofft feel. Lovely hop presence, lends a lightly tannic grape skin powder to popping juicy citrus and stone fruit flavors. Bit of that Lucky Charms marshmallow on the finish. The best Transient DIPA I've had in quite some time, dare I say worthy of a 4-pack.
