Didn’t We Pass A Castle Back Down the Road A Few Miles?
Counterbalance Brewing Company

another banger of a hazy from these guys, all their hoppy stuff was dialed in. this one drinks a little heavier, but still feels creamy to me, and has a wonderful hop profile, idaho 7 and meridian in here among some others, a cool combination thats orange and grapefruit and lemon verbena in the nose, more green tea, wet lawn, and tangerine juice in the flavor, some bitterness too which i like in a hazy, resplendent freshness, and a clean and tidy fermentation that seemed objectively better than some of their others even. an orange tone to this, but its not overly malty to me in flavor, just fuller bodied, maybe some sweetness lingering late, but im okay with it because it extends the hops, some pine and the best of the idaho 7 on the tongue after the swallow. this seems so fresh and the hops so pungent, like some cryo hops were used or something because its majorly robust but is not in any way bitey or over hopped, impressive. i also like the distinctive nature of the hops, the meridian varietal is less common, uniquely fruity and herbal at the same time, and it stands out in this. fun stuff, well made, these guys are underrated in my opinion...
