Ascension
Triple Crossing Brewing

 

 

From a growler, pours a very hazy dark orange. An inch of foam leaves decent lacing. Smell is big and fruity, with mango, tangerine, peach and orange. Taste follows, with spicy pine notes toward the finish. Light bitterness. A little garlicky onion as it warms. Feel is a thinnish medium. This is a great hazy juice bomb.

 

13 oz draft for $7 at the source. Hazy light gold / dark straw. Amazing nose that has the Swish sharp onion thing going on. Taste is less acidic and more citrus but still the sharp onion dominates,, which is a good thing IMO. Decent feels, nothing special.

 

 

Poured on tap at the brewery, the beer is a hazy, opaque, orange coloring, with a sparse, filmy, white head. Aromas of mango, melon, passion fruit, lavender, and subtle evergreen. Flavors are more mango and orange juice forward, sweet and slightly acidic, with subtle grassy and pepper highlights. Definitely juice heavy, on a mid-body feel, with a sweet juice blend aftertaste kept in check by a growing acidity. The finish is smoth and slightly cloying. Tasty.
