DDH IPA Series 18
Tupps Brewery

L-Pours an almost creamsicle/orange juice like color. The foam at the top is thick, bubbly and about 3 inches from the poor.
S-A sweet and pungent aroma right away. Pineapple, citrus–orange and tangerine, sweet malt and an interesting funkiness.
T-Malty sweet right away with a citrusy bitter hop bite. Toned down flavor for sure, but there's a lot I find. Surprisingly, I get a lot of cantaloupe as well as pineapple to follow the malty sweetness and citrus flavor. Super nice. Nothing too special but solid with a tasty flavor.
F-Thick and almost milky. Creamy? Works well with the flavor in my opinion.
O-Overall really enjoyed this beer. Solid creation again by turps. Wish I could try the other DDH to compare. Would try again for sure.

 

Pours hazy from the can. Nose is light on the hop aroma one expects. The taste is heavy on the hops, but quickly fades to a great bitterness, in a good way. Love this series beer from Tupps.

 

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass

Appearance – The beer is pours a super hazy yellow color with a one finger head of white fluffy foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time to leave a little bit of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.

Smell – The aroma of the brew is rather strong of tropical fruit aromas of pineapple and papaya, with these smells further mixed with a sweet tangerine citrus as well as some bitter grapefruit smells. Along with these aromas comes a little bit of a caramel and a touch of herbal hop, producing a rather fruity and inviting smell overall.

Taste – The taste begins with a rather doughy flavor that is backed by plenty of pineapple and caramel tastes. Upfront there is also a decent showing of a grapefruit hop along with a touch of herb. As the taste advances the grapefruit and the pineapple dwindle a bit all while other flavors begin coming to fruition. The flavors that begin developing later on the tongue are rather strong of a tangerine flavor as well as some mango, melon, and more herbal hop tastes. With a touch of grass coming at the very end, one is left with a very pleasantly hopped and fruity taste to linger in the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is slightly more thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the mix of sweeter tropical fruits, and varietal hop blend the feel is fantastic and makes for one easy but well appreciated drinker.

Overall – A rather well crafted NEIPA overall with lots of flavor and a nice easy going taste and feel.
