The Grid
Triple Crossing Brewing

 

 

 

A couple of pint cans from a care package sent by my friend from the Richmond area.
Canned on 01/22/20. Served in a pint glass.

Look- Seriously cloudy golden orange juice color, bits of what look like flaked oat sediment dancing in there. A massive creamy colored head that recedes very slowly to a thick rocky cap of foam, tons of sticky lacing. moderate carbonation streams visible.

Smell- Stone fruit (peach/nectarine, apricot, a bit of berries), citrus (orange/tangerine, grapefruit and lemon/lime), tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, guava and passionfruit), dank melon, light green onion and pepper, some grainy malt, pine and grassy/floral notes.

Taste- A bowl of fresh fruit, aromas from the hops translate nicely in to the flavor with minimal residual bitterness.

Feel- Medium/thick bodied with a nice, creamy soft, lightly sweet finish. Medium/light carbonation on the tongue.

O- Coming from the left coast, this blows my mind. West coast breweries need to take notes because this is a seriously wonderful take on a NE hazy DIP. Thanks again to vabeerguy for sending this to me. Killer brew right here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

L - 2-finger stubborn offwhite head atop an opaque, orange juice body.

S - strong herb, grapefruit.

T - grapefruit and orange in a danky wrapper. Quite smooth middle. Low bitterness. Low sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and carb

O - quite dank, but nice grapefruit hop flavors

 

 

Poured a cloudy orange-yellow body with minimal head and lace ring down the glass. The aroma is strong with mango, grapefruit and hints of other tropical fruits with minimal hoppy bitterness in aroma. Smooth, fluffy, filling, fuller-bodied with an almost non-existent bitterness. Sweetness is strong and delicious and derived from mango, papaya(?), grapefruit and tropical fruits (or at least tropical fruit juice). Finishes clean and is very enjoyable.
