Resin Rapture
Lupulin Brewing

 

 

 

Pours murky reddish brown, multiple floating particles. Large cream-colored head that lingers and leaves generous lacing. Aroma is resiny hops. Flavor follows the nose, starts a bit sweet with caramel that quickly turns bitter with dank west coast hop flavor. Feel is medium bodied and adequately carbonated. Overall, a well-crafted Red IIPA.

Pours amber but not as reddish as I thought it might be. Limited but lingering head. Great lacing.

Aromas of caramel malt, resin, grass, and chive.

The brew is similar on the palate, but more earthy notes arrive there. The caramel malt sweetness feels nicely layered with the resin and earth. Simple but tasty.

Modest body for the style and ABV. Not watery though.

Excellent.

Hazed, reddish-brown coloring, vast, and lasting ivory head, leaving lace.

In the nose: Ah! Yes! Resinous is right. Sticky, hoppy, fruity, dank. (Though I despise the term, here it fits.) Very nice.

In the mouth: More of the same at play on the palate. Deep bitterness from hops, thick and rich and resinous, long on the tongue. Gooey. Caramel malt flavors lurk below. Big flavors in this, very tasty stuff. Bitter and sweet, back to back, toe to toe.

If you want one good and sticky, go here.

 

 

Very unique looking beer. I couldn't distinguish it from apple cider. Very hazy brown color with a short-lived head.

The smell is very muted. It has a little malt and pine.

The taste very pine forward but bright. The finish and long with lingering bitterness.

Medium body and carbonation.

Overall this is surprisingly easy to drink for how bitter and piney it is.

 

 

L: hazy tea colored amber filled with rapidly rising bubbles under a 1" cream to light tan foam collar with good retention

S: resiny with ditch weed and grass supported by rich malts, light caramel and traces of earthiness and woodiness

T: malt, light caramel, and graham cracker with big hop bitterness hitting by mid-palate unleashing juicy waves of resin, citrus and fruit

F: medium bodied beer with medium high carbonation

O: big full flavored Red IPA with a crisp, dry bitter finish

 

Poured out a clear burgundy color with small, off-white head of foam. It smelled like the name suggest - resin, pine and toasted caramel. Big piney flavors with a burst toast maltiness. Slightly citrusy finish.

 

This muddy chestnut colored beer has a dense off white head that leaves bands of lacing. The aroma is candied malt and hoppiness. There is some caramel and citrus in there too. The taste is sweet and citrusy with caramel and toffee in there as well. It has a hint of honey as well but finishes with a decent bitterness. Overall it is a little more on the sweet side but with enough hoppiness to make it a really good beer.
