Double Homestyle
Bearded Iris Brewing

 

 

On tap at the brewery. Nose isn't as in-your-face as I expected. Some light stone fruit and slight dankness, but I actually get something more akin to noble hops as well. Flavor hits with pineapple and citrus and finishes with more of a west coast flavor. Could be the tanginess makes it seem more bitter than it really is. Enjoyable, but lacks the pillowy softness and overripe tropical fruit I was expecting. But sharp on the tongue. Liked it, but not quite in love.

 

 

 

 

The taste is mellow stone fruit peach and tangerine, honeydew melon, light biscuit malt, slight pine resin, a bit of floral flavor and a hint of pepper. Overall the taste is soft and almost seems watered down. Carbonation is medium, feel is medium, and finishes a tad dry. It is too sweet and lacks interest, but it is easy drinking.

 

 

GREAT FLAVORS OF HOPPYNESS IN EVERY SIP VERY REFRESHING COULD DRINK ALL DAY

 

What is this? Not New England IPA

 

 

 

 

 

Canned 10/13. Don’t know how it’s called a New England IPA. Maybe it lost that big juiciness I expect from the style. Has a weedy dankness and bitterness I expect from a west coast style. Tropical, citrusy. Medium bodied, mouth watering, tangy and mildly boozy. Maybe not the best NEIPA but a good beer nonetheless.
