In Bloom
Fieldwork Brewing Co.

Crowler canned 4/17/19, consumed 4/20/19

Pours hazy and somewhat murky dirty straw color with a thick finger-size head, decent ring of retention, and thick bands of lacing.

Aroma is a bright juicy mix of lemons and oranges, maybe just a bit light for a DIPA.

Taste blends the juicy aroma with some dank weedy/floral hop notes and just a touch of malt.

Feel is smooth & creamy, medium in body and perceived strength, low carbonation, nice low bitterness.

Overall, very nice new age imperial IPA, one that blends some of the better aspects both of East & West Coast IPAs.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours cloudy and yellow with not a whole lot of foam. Smells of big citrus, very fresh. Nicely carbonated with a pleasant bubbly aftertaste. It tastes as citrusy as it smells, and while it certainly does taste like a 9% bet it's very drinkable. Highly recommend if you like citrusy IPAs.

 

Had this at Fieldwork last Tuesday on tap. At 8.2%, was expecting a catch all hop mouth with a boozy finish. Nein! This was delicious and somehow refreshing. 'Juicy' hits it with the best use of Citra hops I've tasted. Would love to know how hopped it is. Didn't overwhelm, was just a mouthful of refreshing citrus flavored hops that one easily would mistake for a Pale Ale (not a DIPA). Even my wife, who shies away from Pale Ales generally (due to heavy California exposure to IPAs) thought this was quaffable and delicious. They used some kinda voodoo.

 

 

Crowler 07/08. A mixed bag of everything a IPA/DIPA should be. Nose is floral, piney and light citrus. Taste follows nose with notes of citrus pith, grasses, pine needles and fresh cut flowers. Good malt presence. Medium to full body, somewhat creamy but with a slight bit of oily stickyness. It was good. Something a little off on the flavor, possibly oxidated a small bit.
