Dank Candy Gummy Haze
450 North Brewing Company

Big thanks to Buck89 for another delicious treat!

Pours a cloudy gold/orange with a righteous finger of off white foam. A swirl leaves wallpaper lace upon the inner glass. Really pretty beer.

Light/med. strength aroma all about the citrus. I get sweet orange, grapefruit, pithy bitter, hints of lemon and light dank pine.

Wow really bright and much stronger than aroma predicted. Full of dank herbal bitter, as advertised, with all the sweet and sharper citrus flavors swirling through it like a mardi gras parade for the palate. Each sip is a full frontal assault of hops that threatens to be too much in any direction but never is. This is a dank brew of amazing depth and bright hop character.

Highly viscous, med./high carb., full bodied, with an excellent finish. It is soft enough on the palate to be refreshing. Only ding is a slight build up of gummy bear type resin. Hence the name?

Really tasty beer, dank as promised with a slight gummy bear quality, as promised. If you are a card carrying hop head and see this one, don't hesitate to pull the trigger.

I am trying this beer off the tapper at Grizzlybird brewery as a guest tap part of a four sample flight. It poured clear golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank bitter citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp semi sweet malt base and bitter vitus hop presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a dark orange with a pinky head. Also despite the promise of haze, this is a very clear beer. Aroma- sugary orange, pineapple, mango. Little grass. Smells great. Taste- a little biscuit. And also these nice fruity flavors pineapple, peach, orange. Tasty! Mouthfeel- fluffy feel. Overall- this is a tasty beer. Diggin it!

 

 

Poured into an IPA glass. A hazy orange color with a modest white head that left some sheets of foam on the glass. The aroma was somewhat muted with a dank, resinous presence mixed with berries and faint orange. The taste differed, showing tropical fruit - pineapple and mango - with a resiny, very dank underbelly. A nice orange sensation on the finish.

 

Promising, pungent aromas that led to a disappointingly bland flavor profile, which interestingly is nearly the opposite of an earlier reviewer. Poured a hazy, golden/orange body with a foamy, bright-white head that laced well. Smell was bright and tropical, bursting with pineapple and grapefruit, some lemon/lime and grassy notes, and a strong dose of piney dankness. But the flavor was really muted and muddled, especially coming off the big aromas. There's certainly some citrus, bitter pine, and earthy grassiness there, but it's very ho-hum. By far the strongest takeaway (for me) is a powerful green onion characteristic that hits late in the sip and hangs on as the primary aftertaste. Interesting and different, but not the main note I want out of a citrusy hop bomb. Pretty disappointing.
