Up & Out Hazy IPA
2SP Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

From a tap, delivered in a clear pint glass it came. There's no head, but that's the Philly way of pouring draft beers. There is a slight white fringe of bubbles. The liquid is dark lemonade in color, but more opaque. Despite the nearly absent head, it's nicely carbonated, and for what there is, the head sustains. The aroma is very mild for an IPA, even a hazy one. So, there's no foretelling of the taste by the nose. The taste is pleasant, but the clue from the nose was right, it's not abundantly flavorful. Nothing is sharp, but that's the objective of the style. So, we have a modestly hopped and decently bodied brew that's not bland, but close to nondescript. Yet, it's well done. There's hops to taste and a solid starchy backbone. The mouthfeel is at least average for its style. There's even plenty of glass lacing to contemplate. This is an enigma to review, as there's nothing distinctive, nor outstanding about it, but it's one very enjoyable and well made beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7/6/22 Bought a single 12oz. can at University Winery in State College, PA. The winery had a wedding that served this brewery's beers, and were selling the left overs.

Unusual light straw colored. Light fruity sounds. Mango and light bite in the mouth. Super drinkable! It's gone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a very hazy pineapple color with a dense, creamy white head, there’s a nice dank citrus hop nose which translates directly to the taste, with juicy orange notes, some berry, and an earthy component that works really well.

Almost straw in color, mostly hazy with a thinning white head. Fruity and floral mix on the nose, not bad actually. Not really very juicy more fleeting citrus then a malt and bitter ending. Hmm this was going so well. Thinner feel with decent carbonation. Just ok here.
