Pours pale and hazy. The citrus on the nose is opulent. I am getting lots of tangerine and fresh Florida oranges. You know the kind that you've just picked from the tree. It's citrusy and dank. It finishes dry. Another excellent Ocelot IPA.

Can dated 4/3/19 into pint glass. Pours a murky yellow-amber with a brief off-white head. Initial impression is juicy grapefruit rind, lemon, grass, and a bit of pine bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium-thick and just a little harsh; carbonation is perfect. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Finish is more citrus, fading to a slight bitterness. Overall, a very enjoyable AIPA.

Poured from a 16oz can into a Duvel tulip. CANNED ON 04/03/2019.

A: Lemonade yellow with 1-finger white head with average retention and lacing.

S: Tropical fruit punch aroma with mango, passion fruit, lime, and melon with a touch of pine.

T: Flavor is a little sweeter hoppy with more berry and melon to accompany the guava, mango, and lime tropical fruit flavors. Bitterness is low. I think a little more malt character may help bring in an element that compliments the sweeter hop aspects a little more — I.e. increase the ABV by 0.5%.

M: Feel is a little thin and I think this is another area where more malt backbone may help.

O: Stellar beer from Ocelot that I really enjoyed. I think a couple of tweaks in the malt department could take this beer to the next level.

 

 

Big thanks to Craig for this can. Cheers man!

Mi Corazon. My love. She pours an enticing yellow orange. Familiar yet new. Flirting with a foamy off white foam above that leaves sheets of lacing from head to toe.

A flaunt of peach and mango dances around a sweet vanilla, sugary body. A hint of honeydew joins the party.

Melon and cantaloup with an Orange Bang! background. A wonderful fruit blend in the middle, almost indiscribable. But I'll try. Everything from strawberry, blueberry, papaya, and orange. This thing is a fruit smoothie overload. An estery yeast finish with just enough bitterness to bring to balance.

Smooth and creamy, but light enough to once again remind me of the quintessential Hispanic staple. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, easy drinkability. The fruity finish is almost cocktail like with the flash of alcoholic warmth.

This is a fun drink. It truly reminds me of Orange Bang! minus the ice. Delicious, refreshing, and unique. A stand out in the world of sub par NEIPAs. Cheers!

 

Fresh out of a growler.
Looked bright gold/orange with nice white head. Nice lacing.
Smelled of grass and herbs.
Taste followed smell with some citrus on the back end.
Overall, a very tasty IPA leaning on the grassy side with an aroma to match.

Hops: Citra, Galaxy

Ocelot has really got their shit together. This is delicious. Super juicy, clean, soft and slight bitterness. Almost perfect.

 

From a growler, pours a hazy orange. Puffy white head leaves lots of lacing. Smell and taste have tropical fruits, citrus, pine and some dank. Well-carbed, smooth feel. Top-notch hazy IPA.
