Piney But Younger
Sisyphus Brewing

Poured from crowler into glass. Filled on 9/16/2017.
Dark golden, slightly cloudy body, pillowy ivory white head. Scattered sheets of lacing.
Definitely a West Coast type of IPA in aroma and taste, but with a softer approach.
Predominant piney hops in nose and mouth, with minor additions from floral and tropical hops. Certainly expresses its bitterness.
Smooth, medium mouth feel, some residual orange rind at the end.
Solid and attractive IPA.

So good. At the tap room, into a snifter, pours a hazy heavy peachy orange-gold, with really nice lacing. Nose is a lot of papaya, some green half-ripe mango, bright piney bitterness, orange blossom, bready malt...taste follows, but kicks everything up a notch. On the mouthful, a strange in- between place that is b/w ne ipa soft juicy feel and lively hoppy west coast with some bite...works very well for me. This is really good.

Incidentally, got a crowler to go and had it about a week later. Still quite enjoyable, but not nearly as good. A lot harsher in the direction of resiny pine, for one thing.

 

 

 

Clear, bright golden color, lovely white head, lasting long.

Gorgeous aromatics. Prickly pine, fragrant and floral, juicy citrus notes. Yeah, this is the stuff. Vibrant and beautiful, loud and lively. Sublime.

Taste: Big hop bitterness blasts the palate right off, fierce, pungent and pithy, resinous and very piney. Lemon and grapefruit. Medium bodied, huge bitterness, long lasting on the palate. Slightly astringent. Never-ending hop-maliciousness. Yeah, that's what it is.

This one put me in a very happy place. Good beers keep happening here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hazy golden orange. White head

Very floral. Green and earthy with some nice tripical notes. Papaya and mango.

Medium bodied. Nice amount of bitterness and stickiness.

Really solid west coast IPA. Well done.
