Hop Nectar
Liquid Mechanics Brewing Co.

In an attempt to write an exceptionally condensed & very understated beer review, I found myself compelled to say: I really liked this beer very much.

12oz can with no freshness dating visible. Opened 8-2-20.
2 finger white head. Creamy and dense with very good retention. Falls slowly and holds at a solid cap.
Yellow-gold and opaque. Full and sticky lace patterns.
Peaches and oranges are the primary aromas. Faint doughy malt.
Juicy orange, citrus, and zesty orange peel. One dimensional but tasty and well made.
Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Medium carbonation and low rind-like bitterness mid-palate. Short finish (brings it down from a 4 to 3.75) and fairly dry.
Drinkability is very good and at 5.3% a couple or three are in order.
Very Good.

Can #2 - raising overall to a 4, great flavor in a sessionable type of IPA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12 oz can. Pours very hazy yellow gold with a medium bubbly white head that quickly goes to a thin big bubbled film.

The aroma is huge sweet fruity hops with a little resin.

The flavor is lots of sweet citrus fruits with doughy yeasty malts and a decent bitter finish. The mouthfeel is light bodied and watery.

Overall, I liked the big fruity hops but it's a bit muddled.

It's alright. Tastes like someone tried to make a single version of Hopslam. Finishes with a weird metallic flavor that significantly detracts from the experience. Not nearly as good as Codename Superfan if you want a NE IPA.

 

Ordered this without knowing it was a "New England" style IPA- The haze and juice forward nose immediately clued in. this one literaly reminds you of drinking a glass of orangejuice from time to time. Well done and is a great beer I could drink a ton of. The glass they pour this in is an added bonus. Big wide mouth pint glass. I'll be back for more.
