Queequeg's Revenge

Poured from can into nonic glass.

Pours a great hazy, orange amber color with a fluffy cream head that lingers way beyond most heads.

Immediately get tropical and citrus on the nose. Sweet fruits and I'm the very back some yeast and malt.

Sipping follows the nose very much. Tropical notes, citrus, orange peels, grapefruit, mango, a slight hint of guava, and a tiny but of malts in there. Balances well.

Fair amount of carbonation is present with a medium body. Little bit of film left after sipping but not unbearable.

Overall a good NE style IPA. Well balanced flavors and does not disappoint. Would keep drinking if it is available.

 

 

 

 

I want to believe the 4pk I bought was past its prime and not stored cold. I got it off the shelf and not out of the cooler so i was skeptical right from the beginning. that being said, it was a very good beer. worthy of the BA rating it has received. The hops character is all over the charts. Not as "Juicy" as I would expect from a NEIPA but then again I think it was stored improperly. I want to try a fresh cold can of this and re-rate it.

Sparkling bubbly gold with a slight cloudiness and a foamy white head. A substantial haze increases after pouring the second half of the can.

Smell is dank with pine, onion, bread, rug and orange.

Taste is tangy onion, pine, grapefruit, lemon, catty rug, and orange with accents of apple cider vinegar, papaya and mango. It seems to be hitting almost every style of IPA imaginable in flavor.

Body is medium to full, with a fluffy feel and semi-dry to dry finish.

 

 

huge creamy fluffy head fades slowly great lacing, very clear but light pale color

Nose juicy fruits, but also super grassy spicy chewy hop, raw hop pellets, raw very light wort

Taste spicy herbal hops, earthy, a little fruity maybe, no citrus or juicy fruit or tropical fruit, little sweet malt but very little malt flavor, nothing

Mouth is med to lighter bod, decent carb

Overall a waste of my taste buds, nothing at all like a NEIPA barely even a regular ipa
