Paranoid
Triple Crossing Brewing

Pours a slightly cloudy pale gold with nice head retention. Smells like a pale ale! Imagine that! I dunno; my nose is experiencing IPA fatigue. I get a little pine, a little citrus and whole lot of fruity nu-skool shit. Ditto on the tongue, just in inverse proportion. Nice, mellowed sweetness undercurrent. Moderate citrus-y bitterness. Light and fizzy on the tongue, which I'll take on a hot and humid day. Yeah. Is a fine beer.

Pours pale yellow tiny head slight hazy
Smell hops and sweetness
Taste not to bitter clean
Feel after taste of orange peels
Overall pretty good

One of the best breweries in the RVA

Bought a can at the Casual PInt in Virginia Beach, a very good place to get beers from all over Virginia. This is my first beer from Triple Crossing. Poured from a 16 oz. can into a pint glass, this beer features a hazy gold body, a big frothy/foamy white head that settles down to half its size with good retention. Lacing is impressive, with thick foamy bands all over the glass. Looks like a NEIPA, but with a somewhat darker color than the usual. Aroma and taste are mostly tropical fruit and grassy hoppiness. Good, crisp, and somewhat bitter mouthfeel behind an easy-drinking fruity brew. This is a solid Pale Ale, great with food.

From the bottom rim of the can: "12/15/22 DH BY ZACH"

Appearance: The body is nearly opaque, allowing only the slightest hint of a shadow through the manilla, orange-beige colored body. the head is large and fairly dense with white foam but it slowly fades out to a medium-sized cap that retains well and has the texture of soap suds. The beer leaves thick sheets of lacing on the glass. It appears in the form of a New England Style Pale Ale, and for that appearance it really couldn't be improved on.

Aroma: It smells like tangerines and oranges. There is a bit of mango.

Taste: Up front there is a touch of sweet peach with a slightly stronger orange flavor. Towards the middle of the mouth there is some candy peach rings. A bit of orange marmalade on the finish. The aftertaste is peach rings with powdered sugar and just a light hint of lemongrass. There is a very light hint of alcohol that pops in at various places on the palate but it pops right back out of existence almost as soon as it is noticed.

Mouthfeel: It is a pretty light beer that has a refreshing and semi-dry finish. It has a light citrus-like bitterness that just keeps things bitter enough to keep them interesting. Carbonation feels good.

Overall: As a whole it drinks a lot like a New England Style Pale Ale and it has some enjoyable citrus-like flavors and aromas, along with peach and a bit of sweetness. It is a simple yet enjoyable beer that most people would enjoy. I would buy it again and I would recommend it.

 

 

Pours a pale murky golden. A little mango, but it's got a catty grassy aspect to it. It's creamy with some oatyness with grassy character. Peach and mango through out. Second can was better than the first.

 

 

A lower ABV hoppy style beer but not as good as Solace - Suns Out Hops Out or Aslin - Home.

Hop flavor is on the bitter side, grapefruit rind. Cloudy with very nice lacing. Aroma is average to lacking in intensity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beer pours a nice white head that dissipates fairly quickly while the beer itself is a cloudy pale straw yellow. It looks delicious.

The smell is really good bordering on fantastic. The smell starts with floral tropical smells such as orange, grapefruit, a light mango, and a hint of sweet pineapple. The smell finishes with a dry hopped bitter grassy pine note.

The taste is delicious. It's good. The same tropical notes such as grapefruit and mango are there but the mango is more pronounced. The bitter hop still comes in the finish.

The feel is good. It has a heavy body but a very smooth feel to it with tingling carbonation in the finish.

A very good pale ale.

16 oz can, only a few days old

Hops: Citra, Amarillo

A revamped version of their house pale ale. And what a treat it is. Super clean. Super refreshing. These guys know what they're doing.
