Paranormal Gummy
Noon Whistle Brewing Co.

Pours dark orange, fluffy head and lacing. Strong citrusy scents, slight dank notes. Carries over to taste with citrusy, floral, piney tastes. Medium bodied, mild booze. Good, but not great.

16 fl oz. can, canned 08/22/23, two weeks in the can sounds fresh enough for me.

A: Fresh, juicy, orange, hazy. Certainly cloudy & murky, passing no light. Finger point five of frothy creamy looking khaki froth. Super frothy, with good spotty lacing. It looks damn good.
S: Smells super fresh, earthy, herbal, floral. You can tell a ton of hops went into this thing. Slightly creamy, bready, malty, balanced-ish, slight whaff of fresh booze fumes.
T: Yum, super delicious. Fresh, floral, herbal, juicy, fruity. Tons of mango, papaya, peach, citrus pith. Not 'tropical' but definitely 'fresh-squeezed'.
F: Suuuper smooth, creamy, clean. Medium-bodied, good carb, good body, good acidity, not too hot or boozy, definitely nicely balanced for a New England style, and for the modest 7.0% abv.
Overall, excellent, but a couple tall boys of these will get you feeling right real quick so watch out.

Noon Whistle Paranormal Gummy -----4.25/5

I tried a can of this beer at my line mate's place in St. Germain, Wisconsin whilst there for the Eagle River Pond Hockey Tournament. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that left some lace. The scent had nice tropical fruit peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with good citrus presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Poured from a 2-month-old can into a standard pint glass. Probably need a Cicerone's tongue to parse the nuances between all the Gummy varietals. This one doesn't fall far from the tree; mouthfeel is a little sturdier (less carbonated than I associate with NWB) but there's a strange citric astringency on the back end, maybe sediment from being in the can for so long. The nose has a lingering odor of being in a brewery - maybe the dry hops.

Pours a hazy golden color with really nice head and lacing thru out. Smell is fresh topical fruit, Taste has citrus ,pineapple , mango, pine sap and caramel lemon baked bread notes. Mouth is fresh with mild bitterness lemon citrus and malt. Was good but would not buy it again.

 

 

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 10, 2018. Brewed with El Dorado, Lemon Drop and Vic Secret hops. Notes of pineapple, bright lemony citrus and fresh pine.

 

 

 

 

 

Had this on tap at the brewery. I love Noon Whistle, love the gummy series, and love El Dorado hops and was really looking forward to this. But this was disappointing. I did not get much from the smell and even less from the taste. The feel was pretty thin too. Four packs were $16, no thanks. This was my least favorite of the Gummy series.
