Night Call
Triple Crossing Brewing

 

 

Presentation: 16 oz. can with the canning date printed on the bottom. Served in a Willi Becher glass.

Appearance: The one and a half finger, bone white head stays around for a while and leaves behind a thin foam layer and a lot of patchy lacing. It's a murky, bright orange-gold color.

Smell: It's a fruity and slight musty aroma of overripe fruit like mango, blueberries and pineapple. It finishes with an earthy, piney, hop resin note.

Taste: It's juicy and fruity with no bitterness but there's no artificial sugary sweetness either. There's some bright citrus at the beginning of orange and tangerines, then some papaya, melon and mango come through.

Mouthfeel: It's smooth, creamy and robust yet refreshing with medium carbonation.

Overall: The taste is superbly balanced with a sweet juiciness that never gets overwhelming or cloying. There's no hint of the hefty 8% ABV either which makes it very easy to drink.

 

 

 

alcohol kept winning out & I purchased at TC 1 week after release, chilled 100% of the time

Solid double NEIPA. Huge tropical fruit aroma and flavor with tons of pineapple along with peach and mango. 8% abv is somewhat noticeable. Fairly soft mouthfeel.

 

 

Canned on 8/15/18

Pours a hazy burnt orange with a finger of thick, beautiful white head; good retention and a rather relentless soapy lacing.

Aroma is a soft, incredible fruit bouquet; the variety is pretty astounding really, with notes of sweet peach, creamy strawberry, mango, pineapple, and kiwi to go along with soft, bready malt and sweet, floral herbaceous tones; the beauty in this is beneath the surface, and the depth of the bouquet is worth searching out.

Taste profile consists of mango smoothie, dank orange peel, fresh grass, and juicy hop resin, all of which are so incredibly soft and well-balanced; this is almost too delicate and the profile is by no means imposing, but the nuance of flavors here is nearly beyond reproach, almost becoming sessionable for the palate in the process, which just about makes up for any timidity of flavor.

Mouthfeel is simply brilliant. Soft, effective carbonation and an excellent medium body carry the beer effortlessly, while an embrace of dry and sticky rounds out the finish; beautiful stuff.

A beer that becomes almost too delicate for its own good, but remains unmistakably impressive in its soft approach to bringing ‘big’ flavor. Incredibly unique and quite refined in its construction as a beer, and a DIPA with an uncommon sessionability.

 

 

 

Pours an opaque orange with a one half inch white head that left a lot of lacing. Smells of citrus and tropical fruits. Tastes of sweet oranges, pineapple, papaya, vanilla and a sweetness from a source that I cannot place. Medium bodied and carbonated, minimal bitterness, creamy mouth feel.
