Muddle IPA
Stigbergets Bryggeri

Pours a hazy golden orange with a finger of white head.
Smells of grassy and citrus hops.
Taste follows a bit resinous but predominantly grapefruit and orange.
Medium body with good carb levels.
Overall a good beer, gold to try more from these guys.

 

 

 

Poured to a Ora et Labora taster.

A: The body is opaque matte yellow with a 2 finger white-colored thick head. Shows good retention and good lacing.
S: The aroma is resinous and grassy, providing just a small hint of citrus. More like a Chinook and Mosaic.
T: Taste starts off with a good resinous profile being supported by a little citrus profile in the back of grapefruit and orange. To the back of the mouth, a spicy touch appears to be present.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is good. Alcohol is unnoticeable. Bitterness is high and resinous-ness is also high.
O: Very interesting IPA though more resinous that what I like.

Hazy ipa. NE style. Tropical, fruity, and juicy. Orange and mango with some papaya. Light bitterness. Earthy and hoppy.

This was very well done and I was impressed. Good to see other parts of the world catching on to the NE ipas.

 

A 330ml bottle, batch 599, with a best before date of 19th August 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.

Appearance: A hazy golden straw yellow colour with a one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left some lacing.

Aroma: Mango, pineapple, grapefruit, orange with a hint of pine.

Taste: Generally quite light and short, but there’s mango and peach followed by bitter grapefruit rind and mandarin rind.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to low carbonation.

Overall: Aroma and taste were nice but was a bit disappointed that the taste was quite light and abrupt, especially when compared to top Stigbergets IPAs like GBG and Amazing Haze.

200 ml glass from tap. Appearance is a hazy yellow shade, with a somewhat thin head of white foam. The aroma is citrusy, with tropical fruits like mango and grapefruit. Taste-wise, it is a sweet and juicy with loads of tropical fruit flavours. Mouthfeel is solid and decent, with a medium body and an average level of carbonation carbonation. Its hard to differentiate this from Amazing Haze, except for the appearance, and is equally good!

 

L: Very hazy golden color, one finger white head, messy lacing, no visible carbonation. Looks juicy!

S: Mango, tropical fruits, hops. Very nice!

T: Juicy, fruity, citrusy, bitter. Very good!

F: Medium bodied, very juicy and refreshing.

O: Very good IPA. Love it!

330 mL bottle. Hazy bright orange with a small head. Smells of tropical fruit, tangerines, just a hint of sweet pale malt. Tastes a little less dynamic. Citrus up front. A little bit of garlic. Light sweetness. Low carbonation and medium body. Very nice IPA.

Pours bright hazy yellow with small white head.
Aroma has huge amounts of pineapple, mango, stone fruits, bitter hops. Little dank.
Taste is mango, peach, stone fruits, malt sweetness, bitter hops.

Really hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma has green hop notes, quite dank and raw. Taste is quite weird, grassy, dank, some chives but still a raw hop and also yeast flavor. Medium body with lower carbonation. A bit disappointing in comparison to the other Stigbergets IPAs.

 

Hazy yellow to orange with a one finger high, white head that leaves lacing on the glass.

Nose: Citrus, tropical fruit, orange, grape fruit and star fruit.
Taste: Fresh hops! Orange zest, grape, tropical juice and pineapple.
Mouth: Medium body. Smooth carbonation. Slightly bitter and dry ending.

So drinkable! This is dangerous... I could keep on all evening :)

 

Pours a hazy yellow with soft white foam.

I love this smell... pineapple juice with a dab of vanilla and a hint of resin.

Taste is juicy with a ton of pineapple and mango, rounded out by a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. I could drink this all day...

Soft and pillowy mouthfeel, slightly more than medium bodied. This is almost too drinkable, it just disappears.

Stigberget are doing things with IPAs that I just love. Super drinkable, soft and balanced, just great stuff!
