Heads Will Roll
Mikerphone Brewing

 

 

Pours a hazy light orange with thick, fluffy head.

Smell is fruity and juicy with notes of mango, pine and dank melon.

Taste is fruity, juicy and dank, with notes of citrus, pine, melon and some mango youghurt. Moderate bitterness and a slight soapiness on the finish.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice, very pretty IPA.

 

Huge basic white head, fills the glass eagerly and somewhat annoyingly, whipped up and agitated with decent enough retention, lots of skimpy lacing left behind. Predictable hazy dark golden hued liquid, no visible bubbles. The dankness in the nose is present throughout, while not especially strong it tends to obscure the layers of grapefruit citrus, honey, and then mango, peach scents, not all that much secondary scents to fill out the nose. Medium-bodied, strong cocoa and mocha notes joined by pie crust, rose petals. Pink grapefruit just greater than tarter white grapefruit. Peach, apricot, mango, pear to melon fruit, all juicy if not all that longlasting. Carbonation adds admirable prickle. The dankness is on the dry side, not wet leafy material. All the parts are there but they don’t necessarily cohere into a greater whole. Mineral water like finish. (Canned 5/28/19)

 

Cloudy golden orange with a ring of white foam. Hops are up front in the smell, bitter, piney, and grassy. Some fruits compliment: grapefruit, pineapple, lime, lemon, and melon. Taste has tons of citrus, some candied peach, and hop bitters in the dramatic crescendo. Feel is hoppy, smooth, and crisp. Nice work, a classical take on the style
