Libby W/ Pacific Gem
Tilted Barn Brewery

 

 

pours out a hazed gold straw color wth bright white head that sticks around and leaves great lacing, dense and creamy. nose and palate on this is essentially a pack of fucking juicy fruit gum but the flavor doesnt go away after ten seconds. hugely gummy sweet bready malts complimented by a pithy grapefruit-orange citrus peel combo, really dope floral and herbaceous green notes, crackery malt, and some extremely mellow pine on the finish. this is about as good as it gets for a hoppy sessionable brew... and two beers ago I was drinking a trillium DDH fort point. insanely gummy and mellow/blended citrus and green notes. so enjoyable, perhaps the perfect crusher to go along with the likes of eureka and fort point ... bless the tilted barn!!

Citrus, Grapefruit juice,melon, mango and tangerine zest. Pilsner, cracker malt. Drier finish. Light and crisp. Nicely bitter. Pretty good. Would crush a bunch of these.

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 16oz can into a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a light cloudy gold color with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains fruity and juicy citrus, floral and dank hops and caramelized malts.

T: The taste starts out sweet with a strong burst of fruity and juicy citrus sweetness. Then a strong but not over-powering floral and dank hops bitterness comes in. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a very good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: Very tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, mild kick, very good representation of style, this is definitely one of the better versions of Libby that I have had.
