Leap Of Faith
Torn Label Brewing Co.

Poured from a can. Been sitting in my fridge for at least 24 hours but popped the top and it instantly formed up and I lost 10 percent of it. Golden and hazy with overly large head and lacing. Smells like a typical IPA, bread, pine and hops. Flavor follows the smell with some citrus hints but very pine forward. Juicy and good flavor, very enjoyable.

 

 

 

Pours an opaque star-burst orange with two fingers of white foam that retains well with great lacing left behind. Aroma is tangerine, papaya, guava, and pineapple with subtle biscuity, bready malts behind. Aroma is light and airy, with tropical fruits forming the vast majority of it. Flavor profile is tangerine, papaya, mango, pineapple, and guava with earthy, bready malts that shore up the back end of the profile. Tropical fruits are light and airy, carrying a little less density than the aromatic qualities. Malts are more abundant and forward in the flavor profile as compared with the aroma. Mouth feel is lightly chalky, with a medium thickness. Overall, a quality tropical fruit forward IPA that drives a good bit of juiciness forward, with tangible malts creating balance.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau from a 12oz can. 2018 canned version.

2018 version. On tap. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled fruity and sweet with a toasted bread aroma. Nice orange and grapefruit taste with a toasted caramel backbone.

 

L: Looks like a proper summertime ipa with a golden orange color. S: Smells fruity and not offensive whatsoever. F: The beer is very refreshing and leaves your mouth moist. T: Not too bitter, but the taste sticks with you. It was initially sweet with a lemon-grapefruit back-end. Overall a refreshing, drinkable beer.
