LIC Beer Project

 

 

 

 

I've tried a number of LIC Beer Project offerings at this point. They're all nice, and this is one of my favorites. On the thinner side, not as powerfully hoppy as some, but great fruit character and supremely drinkable. Lots of carbonation led to a two-inch head. It doesn't quite coax out the same depth of flavor that you get in some Tree House beers, for example, but it's still up there as a top shelf IPA. NOTE: Tried this again and lowered my score slightly. Still a really nice, refreshing beer. But there was more of a grassy, grain flavor (wheat, maybe?) this time, which wasn't my favorite, and the fruitiness was less noticeable. This may have just been an issue with the age of the beer, but unfortunately a date of canning was not provided on the cans.

I don't see a date on the can. The pour is hazy dark yellow. The taste is orange, pineapple, cantaloupe, guava, mango & their is a creamy texture to this beer. This is a very smooth & easy drinking IPA, i'm impressed & the can artwork is amazing. Cheers! A-

-hazy, pale orange tap pour with a fluffy foam cap and a light aroma. The flavor is like a clementine Gatorade, pleasant, but thin. Hop bitterness is low. There is a slight citrus tang.

 

 

 

Very hazy orange color. Fruit forward,kind of orange-pineapple,small bitterness. Saw a lot of hype on this one,Great beer but didn’t really live up to prior reviews

 

 

 

A: The beer is quite hazy yellow and a little pale in color. It poured with a finger high bright white head that died down but consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of lychee fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional notes of gooseberries and hints of herbal hops. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied, a little crisp, and slightly chewy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I liked the aromas and flavors of lychee fruits in this IPA. It wasn't nearly as bitter compared to other beers in the style.
