When Doves Cryo
Alvarado Street Brewery

Sweet, tropical hoppy, hint of citrus, and tropical dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a balanced, but subdued hoppy dank swallow. Easy drinker and flavorful...each hop plays its part. No wow factor, but feels nice on the palate...this is good.

 

Can poured into a Russian River Brewing Co pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that hangs around and settles to a dense meringue like layer and leaves some thick lacing.

S: Smells like they packed the whole fruit stand into this can, tropical, orchard fruit, citrus, you name it, a bit spicy, some earthy herbal notes, a little dank, biscuity bready malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness.

T: Dank fruit, apricot, peach, melon, green strawberry, papaya, mango, and white grape, citrus, grapefruit, lime, lemon, and faint orange, spicy and earthy herbal notes, slightly toasty biscuity bready malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness. Alcohol can come through a bit as it warms.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, somewhat soft on the palate,

O: Had to grab this one for the name and the collaboration with these two breweries. Good stuff.

 

 

 

 

Idk wtf cry hopping is, but boy does it make the beer juicy. Pours murky deep yellow, find a finger of head on a normal pour. Average head retention and lacing. Great fruity nose, not sure about the individual notes. Taste is extremely juicy, mostly citrus flavors; taste is awesome if you typically enjoy Galaxy- and Citra-heavy NEIPAs. Average body and carbonation for the style. No perceived alcohol in the taste. This is a really good NEIPA.

 

 

Fresh can poured into fluted snifter.

Straw colored, near opaque from haze, grapefruit juice with foamy cap.

Citrus, lemon, oj, grapefruit zest and earthy resins in the aroma.

Citrus takes the lead in the flavor. Lemon zest, bitter grapefruit, soft juicy tangerines.

Medium body, soft and light on the tongue, moderate carbonation.

Soft from what I think is the lupulin powder addition. Nice balanced flavors. Bitter enough to keep things honest.

 

 

 

 

A: Super fragrant, with a danky, hop aromas of citrus and tropical fruit.

A:Light gold color, fairly hazy, with a thin white head that quickly forms a film across the glass with moderate lacing.

T: Moderate tropical fruit and citrus hoppy flavor, moderately crisp with a moderately light hop bitterness and semi-dry finish.

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and moderate juiciness.

O: Awesome; the beer is super fragrant and has a great citrus and tropical fruit aroma and flavor.
