After a long time sitting on the bench OverRipe! made its merry return to our rotating lineup with some small changes resulting in a juice bomb that is still bursting at the seams with tropical white wine notes, but also has a complex finish of freshly juiced citrus and white peaches. Jam-packed with English character malts OverRipe!'s body is husky with lively notes of granola and freshly kneaded bread dough. The chewy body quickly becomes drenched in juicy flavors of passion fruit, Sauvignon Blanc wine grape, fresh juiced grapefruits, and other tropical fruit courtesy of Idaho7 and Blanc hops. As the cacophony of tropical fruits and white wine drifts across the palate it morphs into a unique flavor profile we can only begrudgingly describe as strawberry banana yogurt with fruit on the bottom. OverRipe! fits the mold of everything we love in an IPA with a wonderfully unique fruity profile that rushes the palate like a pouch of juice after soccer practice.

From a crowler filled at the Fieldwork Sacramento tap room, dated 10/8/16
Appearance - Pours murky and mellow orange in color with a white, finger width head. Fair retention, dying down to a scattered layer of suds across the top. Fair lacing consisting of broken lines and spotting.
Smell - Juicy notes of papaya and some white grape. Lesser notes of spice. Faint citrus. Some doughy bread sitting beneath.
Taste - Follows the nose. Papaya, white grape and spice hits the tongue and is prominent the trifecta of flavors throughout. Mild citrus and pineapple mid-taste. A touch of white bread. Finish is lightly spicy with faint, pithy bitterness and a touch of dough.
Mouthfeel - Light-to-medium bodied with low carbonation. Smooth drinker, but slightly chalky texture as it finishes out.
Overall - Pretty decent, but not among the better NE-style IPA's I've tried. Personally I like them with a bite more acidic bite. This one's more mellow.

Very easy drinking IPA. Good flavor for not being too heavy.

I liked this one, but probably won't revisit. It was a bit too overly hoppy and too much tropical fruit flavors with not enough malt balance.
