Even Mo Sexy
Sand City Brewing Co. - North

Strong but good.

Even Mo Sexy pours cloudy orange with a 2 cm soft foam cap.
The aroma is tropical. Pineapple and orange are noted.
Mango is prominent in the flavor. Orange ( sorry) is second. The hop bitterness is moderate.
The mouthfeel is exceptionally soft and the high ABV is well hidden.
This is very well crafted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Appearance - Pours opaque bright orange with a big soapy white head great retention. Sheets of sticky lacing over the glass.

Aroma - Mild tropical notes of mango and pineapple combined with a big floral nose, hint of spice, slightly grassy. there is no alcohol coming through on the nose at all.

Taste - the tropical fruit is much more pronounced in the taste. Huge amounts of overly ripe mango and pineapple. The floral/grassy flavors are about the same as they were in the nose, the flavors are well balanced between sweet and bitter. nice citrus peel and grapefruit on the end. There is just a hint of the alcohol in the taste.

Feel - Medium bodied soft carbonation. Slight burn and warmth from the alcohol. nice dry finish.

Overall - Really well done TIPA, not one of my favorite styles due to most of the ones I have had generally have a ton of alcohol showing through in the nose or taste.

 

 

Pours a cloudy orange with a half inch white head that left some spotty lacing. Smell is on the mild side with citrus, tropical fruits, grass and floral notes. Tastes of orange, pineapple, orange peel, grapes, pineapple, floral notes, fresh cut grass and a light pepper note. Medium bodied and carbonated, on the light side of medium bitterness, dry finish.

Enjoyed on draft at the brewery and now from a 1/2 growler.

Great looking hazed up NEIPA pour, leaves a load of nice looking sheeting.

Soft oranges and pineapple on the sniff.

Simply delicious creation, bursting with tropical goodness, notes of limes, pineapple, melon, vanilla, bananas....go get some

Canned 05/20/19, it has the standard SC NE IPA looks and pours cloudy orange color with a solid 2 finger off white colored head that faded slowly and left excellent foamy lacing and rings clinging to the sides. Smells of grassy notes, peppery spices like peppercorns, fresh cut flowers, lemon zest, orange peel, grapefruit juice, biscuit and a sea mist like a wave just crashed over the side of a boat. Very soft with citrus and floral hoppy notes dominating the aroma.

Tastes of more citrus and tropical fruit with orange juice, tangerine and faint pineapple joining the lemon zest, orange peel, grapefruit juice, biscuit and peppery spices like peppercorns, fresh cut flower plus some dry chalky yeast. This is really well executed as it's smooth with a mild bitterness but none of those pungent flavors that can be almost too hoppy with excessive dry hopping. This brewed so well that it's prefect for drinking only a few days after canning. It's dangerously easy to drink.

This is my first taste of District 96 and I like what they brewed up with Sand City. Overall a very tasty TIPA that hides the ABV masterfully and goes down super easy for such a strong beer. Excellent work bringing sexy back.
