This is fine, not really sure what the style theyre going for here is. When they can make solid hazy NEIPAs, then produce mid tier stuff like this, it confuses me. This is basically homestyle with different hops, low bitterness, low ish malt IPA with dry hopping. Well short of their best

Pours slightly hazy from a 16oz can with a moderate 1 finger head. Rich golden in color, with a slight pretty pinkish orange tint, indicative on the flavors to come.

Passion fruit and melon on the nose. Very vibrant tropical citrus.

Primary tasting notes in ripe melon, mango, and heavy passion fruit. Very pleasant and refreshing with well hidden bitterness and alcohol.

Beer smells great. Fairly hazy, rather flat (could be the bars fault). Also too sweet for the style. It is juicy but needs.some refinement.

Appearance: Pours slightly hazy and amber colored with a two fingered head of foam; decent retention and lacing action

Smell: Tropical fruit notes of peaches, pineapple, orange and lemon

Taste: Bready malt forward, with the peach and pineapple developing; through the middle, the citrus starts to build, bringing orange and tarter lemon tones; the finish is nicely balanced with a hint of sweetness

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A really impressive IPA; Bearded Iris does a great job with the style

Beautiful beer. Well balanced and all. Poors like most bearded iris’s; bright thick orange. Smells overwhelmingly citrusy with a strong base of floral. Taste is like most of their beers, thick from oats, sharp from the heavy dry hop of citra, and a beautiful piney bitterness that builds the foundation to the beer. This one is closer to my mom town gem, so I can’t help but talk it up! Please drink this beer and give the style a chance!

Thanks goes out to Buck89 for this brew.

16 oz. Can
Canned On: 01/22/18

Poured into a Tree House glass a very nice cloudy orangy color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, peach), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, peach), pretty nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew. Addictive! Orange Juilus! Glad to have gotten a chance to try it. Thanks John!
