Pow! Juice
Conshohocken Brewing Company

Poured into a grip shaped goblet: color is hazy gold, not too murky, head is off white with fine bubbles, head presents 1+ fingers thick, head remains solid with lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is really subdued for a DIPA at this strength and variation - really only some light citric pith and touch of biscuit, even poured on the warm side.

Taste is light citrus pith, some stone fruit, hint of melon, backing malt is light biscuit, limited alcohol but flavor is bit subdued too.

Mouthfeel is low carbonation, moderate sweetness, low bitterness.

Overall a bit pedestrian in this category - limited aroma, light flavor, and neutral mouthfeel.

Purchased at Acme, Horsham, PA. $15.99/4pk 16oz cans

Poured into a goblet. Pours a hazy, straw yellow color with a half-finger white head. Random lacing left during the session.

A malty, lemony aroma.

A decent DIPA. Flavors of pineapple, lemon, maybe some mango or peach with a slightly bitter, yeasty aftertaste. The ABV is lurking there at 9% making this more potent than your typical hazy IPA.

Medium to thicker consistency. Mild carbonation.

Overall, I really enjoyed this brew. The IPA, DPIA field is so crowded it’s tough sometimes to stand out. This brew is very tasty but mind-blowing? Not quite but enjoyable…Cheers!

On tap.

A - Hazy medium gold color with light, dense lacing.

S - Light tropical fruit and citrus.

T - Has a light mineral aspect overall. Fruity citrus and guava while finishing balanced.

M - Big medium body that's a little the in around the edges.

O - A little mundane.

On draft, in shaker pint glass

Clear, orange golden color, thin white head that fades. Boozy and bitter, and old school DIPA. Hops are tropical and dank. Sticky mouthfeel

 

 

Another tough one to categorize. Yes, it has the NEIPA haze, but it's coming at you with a 9% ABV. It could just as well be put into the Imperial IPA category. That aside, it was a delightful pour to empty the contents of a pint can into a clear Imperial pint glass. Absolutely no foam here and the pour was at room temperature. In fact, neither is there any head and unless further reported, there won't be any lacing in the glass. Maybe the aroma has some juice like characteristics, but overall it's not pungent. There's as much malt, yeast and hops independently as there is a juicy quality. Missing is the smell of alcohol. It's rather full flavored and there is an alcohol presence to taste. When brews reach this level of an ABV, that's not a significant demerit. The juiciness is hop juicy, because this is not necessarily fruity, nor is it overly sweet. What sweetness there is comes from the malt/alcohol combination which works nicely. The hops finish things with a resinous bite that doesn't dry out too much. There's plenty taste here, as well as plenty of alcohol for one's spirits. The best thing that can be said about this one is its overall balance, with nothing reaching a high level. The malt, the hops and the yeast, all there, with nothing to an extreme. Maybe the alcohol hit is a little much, but that's been earlier explained. Also, the mouthfeel is rich and smooth enough to carry the load. Overall, this is well above average for a brew this potent.
