Ok

 

Pours a cloudy orange with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves little bubbles of lace all down the sides of the glass with nice retention. 4.25

Aroma is peach, mango, papaya, and apricot. 4

Taste follows peach, mango, papaya, and apricot big on flavor, low bitterness, and maybe a touch sweet. 4

Mouthfeel is above average, soft gentle carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 7% it goes down very easy. 4.25

Overall this is really solid, but I was hoping for more. Still really solid. Cheers all. 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2017, yellow session. Aroma has dank hops and a light vanilla note. Taste is herbal with a quite bitter green hop matter finish.

Pours a dark hazy golden color. Completely opaque. Thin white head dissipates steadily leaving little residual head or lacing behind.

Smell is a fragrant burst of orange, tropical fruits, bit of grass and some dank hops.

Taste follows the nose with an array of orange, tropical fruits, with a grassy bitter finish. There is some interesting notes from the malt base. Bit of sweetness, almost candy like.

Feel is full yet light and drinkable. Medium carbonation. Tad of a dry finish.

Overall a very well crafted DIPA - fits the NE style quite well.

 

 

 

 

Looks trendy enough. Thick white foamy head and an orange juice body. Nose is nearly equal part citrus and garlic with citrus prevailing in the end. Taste brought something I wasn't expecting, which was this candy taste that I really can't place, but it's ok because pretty quick to take over is an earthy vegetable thing, followed my melon and finished off by hints of that dank garlic, and just a dash of salt on the tongue as an aftertaste to this medium bodied beer.
