Yacht Jams Vol. 1
Brix City Brewing

6 oz mini-snifter draft pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a hazy creamy yellow color with a medium-sized head. Aroma and flavor feature Coconut, citrusy hops, banana, and some tart lime atop a wheaty malt base. It's really tasty for what it is. Not much trace of the 8% abv - could be dangerous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A collaboration between Brix City and Icarus Brewing. Reviewed two days after release. Poured from 16 oz. can into a tulip glass. It pours a dirty orange color with a half finger of foamy, bright white head and a thick coating of creamy lacing inside the glass. The aromatic smell features coconut, banana, orange/tangerine, graham cracker, and lite floral hops. It is supposed to taste like coconut cream pie and it passes the test opening with coconut, banana, and graham cracker. It's sweet but not overpoweringly so. There is also a nice burst of tangerine, lime, and lemon peel. You can immediately taste the unique, plush taste of the Motueka hops (one of my favorites) , along with the Mosaic, Citra, and Cashmere. In fact, is a wonderful blend of hops that provide lots of flavor but little bitterness, except and the finish. The taste is can best be described as between coconut cream pie and a pina colada. It has a rich, thick, creamy mouth feel with moderate carbonation, and it drinks easily at 8% ABV. Overall, this is a tasty and enjoyable milkshake IPA; the work of two very fine New Jersey brewers.
