Juice Cup
Black Hog Brewing Co.

 

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a stiff semi-hazy burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Not much lace, but seemed somewhat quickly sliding.
The aroma had some sweet to tart passionfruit flesh to orange pulpiness. Slight breath of clean sweet cracker malts for balance.
The flavor was moderately sweet with a touch of juiciness crawling into the malts cleanly. Slight aftertaste of the passionfruit, orange and malts.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionable to sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good. Finish was somewhat clean with a quick juicy bitter grip on the back of my tongue.
Overall, pretty good IPA leaning towards the "New England" style. I'd have again.

 

 

16 oz can gifted to me by my brother - nice guy. No date on can

Pours a cloudy, vibrant orange color with a one finger fine bubble head.

Aroma is fresh cut fruit. I don't eat passion fruits so I have no idea what they smell like, but I'm starting to get a clue I think. There is a bit of a tanginess in the scent with no real maltiness character coming through.

Taste is slightly tart fruit up front, kind of astringent but vaguely tropical. There is a more mellow sweetness behind it like orange. The flavor is well balanced with the sweet malt.

Feel is unsticky with some substance to it that doesn't feel like its coming from malt, i'm guessing some adjunct. Lots of seltzer which really works for this beer. I think this has a fantastic mouth feel to it.

Again, I am unfamiliar with passion fruits but the intense fruit flavor coming from it is very pleasant if not a little astringent and tart. Just a well made beer that has a great flavor balance, mild sweetness to it and a great mouth feel. I'm getting this again for sure.

 

poured into tulip glass, recommended to drink more cold than room-temp (don't let it sit too long)

looks dank amber, small fluffy head that thins out after a bit
smells delightful: passion fruit as advertised, light citrus, and peach mixed with some nice hoppy oiliness
tastes, a little tartness gives way to sweetness as it passes through the pallette. There is a nice mix of ressin-ness with the fruit, and passion fruit will leave a bit of an after-taste, which depending on preference will be either a good thing or a bad thing ( I enjoyed it).
feel: soft mouth feel, the hoppiness is light, not over-powering, makes for easy drinking.
over-all enjoyable beer, nothing ground-breaking, but a nice hot-day, warm-night, summer treat

 

Given to me by a friend. Glad he did. Nice beer although there is a little after taste that hangs in there 10 minutes after I finished the beer. Just OK with that. I would have rated it a tad higher if not for that.
