Radio Origami
Fieldwork Brewing Co.

 

 

I have bought a couple of four packs from Fieldwork Napa and Fieldwork Sacramento, with each 18 oz can a different flavor. They have a stellar reputation, but I didn't love them until I found Radio Origami. Previously, I tasted something a bit too sour, almost metallic, in some of the beers. This one is ripe with pineapple and grapefruit and a slight guava undertone. It's not a hop bomb but fresh, up front, well balanced. Any lighter, though, and it would be watery. A great summer beer. Their website says it tastes like "flavors of ruby red grapefruit, sparkling pear wine, passionfruit, and nondescript gummy worm" but I didn't taste or smell pear wine or gummy worm:) I like that it's not too thick or sweet, still refreshing. A: milky haze. S: fruity and light, not musky, T: perfect bitterness for a lighter hazy, see above Feel: perfect carbonation.
