Albatross
Brew Gentlemen

 

 

 

Super hazy orangey yellow pour with two fingers of white foam and decent lacing, very nice. Smells of citrus especially grapefruit, melon, big papaya with dank and weedy hops. Taste is much the same, sharper definition and with a touch of onion added. Dank, sharp hops, juicy, soft dryness define the feel, reminds me of certain neipas I had in massachusetts last year. This is excellent, really impressed with the ipas I have had from these gentlemen so far.

 

 

 

Bought this on Tavour because I heard it was one of the top Pennsylvania beers. Lives up to the rating. Pale straw colors, very hazy, mild lacing. Notes of mango, pineapple, and orange on the nose, juicy and dank. Taste is quite the same, not as strong, but there’s character in the subtlety. Lighter to medium bodied, crisp, mouth watering finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured into a 12oz. snulip, Albatross pours an opaque golden haze topped with a creamy off-white head that bubbled above the rim of the glass. The aroma was full of peach, pineapple, and mango. The first sip brought an explosion of juicy hops with almost no bitterness. The amount of peach flavor was really outstanding. It was accompanied with the other flavor notes of pineapple and mango to brilliantly showcase the best that Galaxy hops have to offer. The finish was drier than expected with very little sweetness coating the palate. The mouthfeel was soft and pillowy. How a liquid can have such a full body while still maintaining that softness is baffling to me, but it makes for a very pleasurable drinking experience. Overall, this is one of the best DIPA's that I have ever had, and deserving of its score.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BG makes some world-class IPAs but this one didn’t blow me away. It has their trademark soft mineral texture & undertone, upfront there is some cantaloupe / melon pulp, slightly more earthy than “juicy”, which isn’t necessarily bad but felt there could have been stronger expression from some of those citrus elements

 

Poured from a growler filled at the brewery.

Pours an opaque orange straw color with 2 fingers of creamy white head. The head leaves all the lacing ever before settling into a thick blanket of foam.

The aroma brings a melange of citrus: Orange cream, tangerines, grapefruit, and key lime pie. There's a touch of pineapple and peach on the back end.

The flavor follows the nose: Orange cream, grapefruit, lemon-lime, tangerines, and papaya.

The feel is medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Very creamy and smooth with a dry finish.

Overall, a fantastic DIPA. "Juicy" is an adjective people don't care for when reviewing beer but there's simply nothing better to describe this one. It's literally fruit juice and it's damn delicious.
