"Double IPA Double Dry-Hopped with Denali and Mosaic hops"

I loved my first Fieldwork beer but this one didn't do it for me- spicy, malty, boozy, old school... not for me. I want juicy creaminess.

 

 

 

 

Sweet tropical dank hoppiness on the nose! Taste follows with a well balanced creamy finish and swallow. It has a nice bitter hop bite that lingers a bit...it has slight booziness at the end.

 

 

 

L: Burnt hazy orange in appearance. Bubbly 2 finger white head which retained nicely. Heaps of lacing left behind-appetizingly amount.
S: Lemony and floral on the nose, with a fair amount of grass and black pepper. A little bit of mango and apricot as well.
T: Follows the nose. Lemon with a fair amount of earthy bitterness initially, and the finish is sweet mango and apricot with a lingering grass flavor. Mild malt presence in the flavor.
F: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation for the style.
O: Very enjoyable. Hides the abv exceptionally well. I love the amount of lacing it leaves. I am very grateful to have tried. Cheers!

 

 

Thanks to Sheldon for bringing this to the Nevada/UNLV baseball tailgate. No frills design just a basic white label with information on it. Better be good to dial it in a la de garde in that regard. Pours a slightly bright yellow, 1/4" white head on the top. Aroma pops of Mosaic can't really say the Denali adds anything aroma wise. Drops all kinds of honeydew melon, devil's lettuce and tropical fruit in the nose, hits those desired notes very well.

Taste continues to blast away with all kinds of fruit notes without any actual fruit or sugar therefrom. Finish is nice and dry. Lightly toasted pale malts, not heavy here. The 9% abv drinks effortlessly. Instead of a bunch of trub at the bottom of the haze can, you just get a firm but not overwhelming bitterness, lots of dank flavors, and no acidic hazyflocboi feeling in your stomach afterwards.

Fieldwork continues to make amazing hoppy beers at a premium price when they put it in a can.
