Lord Hobo Brewing Company

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a hazy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of melons, citrus. Taste follows the aroma, juicy. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall this is a pretty good beer.

 

Poured from a growler into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy orange-yellow color with a small head of white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time and leaving quite a bit of streaky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is massive of a bready and doughy smell mixed with a good deal of tropical fruits of mango, pineapple, and guava. There are also some other sweeter citrus smells of tangerine and orange. Along with these is a light pine and grapefruit smell mixed in, hay and a bit of toast.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather thick doughy and bready flavor paired with some of the tropical fruit flavors that were in the nose. While the nose was quite sweet, the body was less so, being of a moderate fruit palate and a bigger malt build. Along with the tropical fruits came some orange juice as well as a bit of grapefruit bitter. As the taste advances the tropical fruits initially surge only to later fade, all while some bits of herb and pine join on at the end, leaving one with a more lightly hopped and still rather fruity, big malty taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is rather thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is more moderate in nature. For the fruity flavors and bigger body the feel is rather nice and makes for a nice slow sipper.
Overall – A rather good drinker overall. Nothing super extraordinary, but good none the less.

Pours a muted, flat, hazy yellow golden color. Has minimal carbo but a creamy, fluffy 1/2" of off-white foam on top. Ebbs to a thin layer with decent lace. Aroma is pithy and rindy, with some pineapple and melon. Feel is decent, with a medium body.

Flavor has more pithy action and plentiful bitterness. Has some citrus but overall it goes nowhere. Rather meh....

Nice cloudy golden yellow appearance, thin soap head and decent lacing
Aroma is juicy orange, honeydew, passion fruit, kind of a floral/ strawberry note and earthy smelling
Taste is pretty muddled, mainly citrus some melon and passion fruit, and a berry note on the back end and some peach
Mouthfeel is thick, kind of chunky, slightly sticky feeling that stays with you. Finishes up dry and slightly astringent
Overall not a bad IPA, fairly easy drinking and a bit heavy so not really a pounder, definitely a juice bomb

 

 

 

Pours a nice dark yellow yada, aroma is complex mix of citrus, pineapple, very aromatic, taste is bitter at first, but falls flat, I am getting no citrus, just slight hoppiness, very average.

Lord Hobo Brewing Co. IPA - New England / Hazy

Light melon and dry piney hop kick with a rather crisp and lively vibe. The dry hop really shines. Dry, but juicy feel makes it a great choice for outside seating in the sun.

Earned the Super Style: IPA - New England/ (Level 13) Badge

Cloudy, dirty gold. Minor head that settles to film and fine rim bubbles. It leaves some short but thick streaks.

Gummy sweet nose. Some papaya, pineapple, and juicy fruit. No notable bittering hop.

This is similar to the Juice Lord but without the strong yeast bite. The sweetness is diminished from the smell. The body leans rich while the effervescence leans high. There is a light alcohol presence. The hop is more pronounced in the swallow and aftertaste but the beer is malt centric.

 

 

 

Pours a milky yellow with a 1F head and moderate lacing.

Smells of slightly dank floral hops with some citrus.

Tastes of lightly tart and sour grapefruit, orange and a bit of pineapple with a salty finish.
