Overall: A pretty decent offering from Hop Butcher. Smooth and soft with the green melon. Nice pineapple sap, melon, papaya flavors. The flavors aren't overpowering here and are actually quite muted. Yet they keep up with maintaining their characteristically soft and smooth body. Incredibly drinkable. Nice stuff and on par for Hop Butcher. (Rating: 4.21)

Pours a ahazy golden wheat color with a fresh white head and lacing. Smell is fruity floral and tropical . Taste has sweet citrus ,tangerines pineapple and melon. Mouth feel is soft and creamy more sweet than dry , very juicy with hops

 

 

 

poured from a 16oz can into a willi becher pint glass. a fairly aggressive pour yields a creamy, hazy orange with almost three fingers of fluffy white foam. peach, citrusy orange and pine sap on the nose. taste follows but with more of an orange marmalade flavor backed with subtle pine and a decent bitter finish. full mouthfeel that is smooth and makes this drink easier than it’s 7.5% ABV should allow. another well done DIPA from these guys. this one was an interesting hop combination. maybe not my favorite but it’s still really tasty.

 

Canned 8/2/22; drank 8/14/22 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque orange/yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a nice off-white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.

Pineapple, cream & fresh cut grass notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Dry pineapple & grass flavors.

This smelled better than it tasted; decent enough.

Pours a completely opaque, matte orange-tinged yellow color. Thick, frothy white head orms on the beer, lingers for a moment then dissipates leaving a small hill of foam on the top of the beer. Aroma hs notes of orange, melon, tropical fruits and some light woody notes.You can smell the waimea coming through on the nose.

Taste follows the nose somewhat - the melon come through more on the flavor profile with this creamy orange creamsicle note. Bitter, woody hops come though on the back end cutting that creamy sweetness. The bitterness builds on itself becoming progressively more noticeable as the beer is consumed. Feel is full bodied, hefty, smooth. Moderate carbonation.

Overall this is a typical Hop Butcher NEIPA - tasty, well done, but hard to distinguish from any others. It really comes down to whatever hop combo ends up being your favorite.
