Plush from Frost Beer Works. Purchased at Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA, 21/09/22. $ 5.00 (Including tax)/16 oz can ($ 0.31/oz). In reefer at store, stored at 40 degrees at home. Reviewed 25/09/22. Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
On bottom of can “INFIELD SHIFT 05/05/22”. Served at 48.3 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King Snifter. Final temperature 59.1 degrees.
Appearance – 4.
First pour – Pale Straw (SRM 2), hazy.
Body – Straw (SRM 3), opaque. Under direct light, same. When rear-lite, same.
Head – Average (3.2 cm, aggressive center pour), white, high density, diminishing to a six to ten mm undulating crown and complete cap.
Lacing – Good! Wide band of tiny to near-microscopic bubbles which quickly devolves to torn curtain lacing.
Aroma – 3 – A bit of a tropical fruity aroma but no specific fruits. No hops, no malt, no yeast, no ethanol.
Flavor – 3 – Follows nose. No malt, no yeast, no hops. No ethanol (8 % ABV as marked on label) aroma or taste. Weak gastric warming occurs. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl.
Palate – 4 – Full, creamy, lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.5 “Made with water, malt, hops and yeast”. No “add junks”. This is allegedly hopped with Simcoe. In my experience Simcoe adds a pineapple flavor and survives a long time. No pineapple here. Decent. Fruit fly approved.

 

 

 

Decent head production and excellent retention. Nice lacing. Body is a classic modern opaque haze-bomb.

Lovely hop-forward aroma, with notes of lemon, orange creamsicle, green herbs, mango, and papaya.

Juicier, sweeter, and more potently hoppy on the palate. Same flavors as the aroma, along with a touch of caramel and a decent amount of cracker and white dough from the malt base.
