Half-Light Sunbeam
Brick & Feather Brewery

 

 

Excellent beer. Hoppy, strong citrus. Good to drink beers from local Berkshires micro brewer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good NEIPA. Head not large. Very drinkable. Liked some other IPAs from this brewery better. Hops not overpowering yet certainly there. Every beer I have had From Brick & Feather is a winner.

 

 

 

Poured from a 32 oz growler, procured at the brewery an hour ago.
A - Marigold colored backdrop, translucence allows for some carbonation sightings. A loose knit froth of snow white resdie top side. During the experience small spotty lacing hangs on the glass.
S - Orange, tangerine, red grapefruit skin. a wiff of sulfur, and peach
T - Sweet malts, fresh squeeze OJ, Orange Julius style, English tea biscuit, some honey as well
M - Soft water profile, hints of chalk add to a wonderfully dry finish.
O - A very good IPA from a very talented brewer, Citra hops on full display, The malt base is rock solid, avoiding the trap of being to sweet.

Canned 8 days ago.

L -- Hazy golden orange with 3+ fingers of fairly dense white head produced with moderate pour. Great retention and some lacing
S -- Dried grapefruit peel, sweet floral, basil, apricot, white peach
T -- Largely follows the nose. Almost bone dry, which gives it a brut-like character that I quite enjoy.
F -- Light mouthfeel, medium+ carb. Very drinkable and refreshing, the hop bitterness just flies off the palate on the finish
O -- The dryness of this beer makes it a little less expressive in the flavors than something more heavily malted, but it's a nice change of pace from the NEIPA norm these days

85/100

 

 

 

16oz. can served in my Spiegelau IPA glass. Pours a dull, hazy orange with a loose, half inch, off-white head the slowly recedes into a concave cap before dispersing. Nose expresses hints of tangerine and pith. Taste follows nose - pleasant with a being a juice bomb. Finishes with a little bit of crackery malts. Mouthfeel is light in body with a lively carbonation and a mildly crisp finish. Overall, very pleasant and quaffable.

Enjoyed at the Dive Bar.

A - Poured into a standard pint glass a nice hazy golden hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light wisps and a thin halo.

S - Aromas of nice faint citrus hops, biscuit malts, flashes of oranges.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice bright citrus notes but a fair about of bread and crackers. The orange that's there is nice. Good faint bitterness.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, fluffy, crisp.

O - Overall this was a solid enough ipa. Though the malt is a bit forward.
