Playa Del Dauv
Alvarado Street Brewery

 

Wow! An interesting flavor in a triple that's not gross. It tastes like a NE IPA but with that booziness and hop forward flavor of a triple. This things the smoothest trip I've ever had. Another great beer by Alvarado. You gotta give it a try. It tastes even better if you get a can to go and drink it on Carmel Beach.

 

 

 

 

Sweet, juicy, tropical-hoppy, and whiff of dank aromatics on this one! Taste follows with the sweet trop-hoppiness upfront, then a slightly boozy, pronounced citrus bitterness on the swallow. Not as soft-on-the-palate and a little more boozy than I was expecting for a TIPA from Alvarado Street, but still good! I'll revisit in a few weeks to see if it has mellowed out a bit.

Looks like orange juice with slightly less cloudiness/murkiness than other ASB hazies. Absolutely pungent aroma of tropical fruits, taste is a bit more danky & boozy with a decent bit of bitterness. Feel is med/heavy but very impressive for a 10% TIPA. Overall, ASB has pulled off more impressive hazy TIPAs like One Giant Leap, but this is still around the top compared to others around.

 

 

 

 

 

Can from Chris. Thanks, dogg.

A hazy orange with a dense, white head that falls off rapidly leaving little lacing, this looks OK. The nose is massively fruity with passionfruit, peach, mango, papaya and a touch of key lime. Alcohol is shockingly well hidden. The palate opens fruity with a mild bitterness. Plenty juicy with orange, passionfruit, papaya and a little lychee as well. Despite the juiciness, this is particularly clean and bright on the palate, with none of the dreaded chalky flavors present. Alcohol is mildly noticeable on the finish. Medium in body and with an excellent, creamy palate, this beer finishes particularly juicy. Very nice.
