Pockets Of Fog
Sand City Brewing Co. - North

 

 

 

 

-orange-amber tap pour (foggy) hosts a thin ring of foam. I cannot detect the aroma as brew kettles boil nearby. The flavor is richly tropical; pineapple, mango and tangerine are present. The mouthfeel is very smooth and the hop bitterness is light. This is quite enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canned 04/03/19, it pours cloudy orange color with a 1-2 finger off thick white colored head that was full of bubbles of all sizes, fading very slowly and leaving excellent foamy facing. Standard impressive DIPA looks from Sand City, even with collaborations like this with Great Notion.

Smells of pineapple, guava, orange peel, grapefruit, papaya, gummy bears, apricot, brown sugar, and sweet malt like French Toast in the background. Dank and very hoppy, it has an aroma to match how fresh it is. Tastes basically like it smells with all those citrus and tropical flavors listed above plus orange juice, melon, graham cracker, biscuit, tea leaf and light peppery spices, some floral notes and a clean finish that is like lemon zest together with tangerine.

This has a mild bitterness level, low carbonation, zero alcohol presence and a nice lingering citrus flavor that goes on and on after each swallow. Might be dry hopped as the finish is chalky and has more floral aspects. A damn fine brew.
