Hop Butcher For The World

Thematic Glow - oh, don’t you know…? That you are just ok. Yeah, this one doesn’t sparkle like Einstein with an idea. It’s more so Bill Gates having some toast for breakfast or something. Smart guy, but you know while he makes his morning deposit he still watches fail videos on YouTube or something just like the rest of Americans.

Boom boom.

Pours a hazy light golden straw color with nice lacing and head. Smell is dank and herbal . Taste has citrus ,berries apple melon and musty herbal garden notes Mouth feel is sweet more than dry a soft mouth feel very drinkable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This "clearly" should be categorized as a NE hazy IPA. It's like a tenth of a percent higher than regular IPAs I have in the fridge right now. But I guess only small minds fuss over such. However, it is about as cloudy as Goliath topplers could wish. Slick on the tongue.

Fruit bomb is the two work description. More peach than orange, but it's more like a milk shake than a beer. Just saying, as it's not bad. And if you compare with other hazies it's not bad at all. The modest acidity does allow for drinking more than a few sips.

After some slurping, it tastes like orange peel, orange marmalade, and even orange-banana juice. I'm happy to have tried this, even though it's a fruit slurpee and I normally don't buy beers from east of the Pecos River unless I'm actually in the midwest. From the 16 oz can purhased at the West Coast beer store.

 

Pours a pale and hazy orange/gold with two fingers of white foam, reducing to a decent cap with lots of soapy lacing. Nose is green melon, sweet orange, fruity candy, and bitter hop. Taste follows suit with a delicious candy taste followed by a good fruit/citrus pulp and bitter hop finish. Feel is silky smooth and quite velvety. Good beer.

Pours a murky, completely opaque orange color. use, pillowy off-white head forms on the beer before slowly, but steadily dissipating. Ultimately just a thin layer of foam and some lacing on the glass remains after dissipating. Overall the appearance is generically in line with the NE style IPA. Aroma has notes of mango, mango juice, orange, grass, onion grass, and green herbal notes with a touch of sweetness.

Taste follows the nose with notes of orange, mango, cantaloupe with certain grassy, herbal notes. There is a slight onion grass character to the flavor profile. Definitely sweet and juicy but, as the style goes, its actually not all that sweet. Feel is medium to moderately full bodied, creamy and smooth. Moderately carbonated with some liveliness.

Overall its a really nicely executed NE style IPA.

Opaque orange with plenty of foam and lasting lacing, a thin veil of unbroken surface skim. Citrusy, tropical notes of tangerine, papaya, and lush green botanicals. Light and creamy feel, not bad. Lasting aftertaste of citrus peel and dandelion green bitterness, with an initial tangerine blast. Slightly sweet up front with a lingering resiny bitterness. Good stuff. Thanks to Thomas & Jenny for this one!

This one is hopped with Citra and Rakau hops. It's thick and creamy with a lot of juicy tropical fruit. There is a lot of citrus with orange and mango up front with peach and stone fruit at the end.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 13, 2020.

Canned 12/7/20; drank 12/17/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big white head; strong lace.

Grapefruit, cane sugar & orange peel notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Orange citrus & dry grass flavors up front; grapefruit & cane sugar notes on the finish.

Bold; a bit over the top, in fact, but still good. I'd have another.
