Special Combo #3
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

 

Poured to an Ora et Labora taster.

A: Body is bright orange with a minimal white head that subsists only to the sides of the glass.
S: Aroma is incredible of tropical and citrus finishing off with a very powerful hoppy and green tone.
T: Taste starts off with a big orange juice flavour, then turning to a very sweet and mellow passionfruit and mango tone - reaching peak perfection and after this you move on to a powerful Citra and Mosaic hoppy tone that actually finishes off with just a bit of spiciness that goes almost unnoticed, just like I like these. Good stuff.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is high. Alcohol is unnoticed. Spiciness is noticeable though low.
O: Another interesting DIPA from The Veil.

 

Pours a hazy light orange with fine head.

Smell is full of dank hops, oranges, papaya, melon and grapefruit.

Taste is juicy and dank with a hint of sweetness and booze, and notes of oranges and melon.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and pillowy but slightly undercarbonated.

Overall, another very good NE IPA by The Veil, where the only "negative" is the lack of carbonation.

 

Hazy peach color with off-white head. Aroma is a bit boozy with sweet tangerine notes and citrusy hops. Taste is malty, quite boozy with astringent hops on the finish. Medium plus body with medium carbonation. Actually it's quite disappointing for a beer from The Veil.

 

Poured into a 13 oz Tired Hands Teku glass 4/24/18. Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a solid finger plus head that leaves scattered thin lace along the sides.

Smell guava, apricot, papaya, pineapple, and a nice big shot of grapefruit rind.

Taste follows huge tropical fruit front to back, exactly what I expected after the nose, but actually some piney grapefruit in the finish that leaves you dying for the next taste.

Mouthfeel is pretty big, moderate soft feel on the palate, not dry but a big sticky feel on the tongue, and 9% ABV goes down way too fast.

Overall this is excellent, different use of what ever hops that created this monster. Really special and I thank Doctorzombies for this gem.

 

 

 

Poured a slightly cloudy orange body with little head and lace. Light tropical and acidic fruits in the aroma. Thicker body, sweet with tropical fruit notes and no bitterness at all despite some leafy and citric hop notes. Touch of herbal character in clean finish and this is a very easy-drinking and clean beer that has no noticeable bitterness or alcohol at all.

16oz can poured into a snifter
Canned 4/14/18

A- pours a hazy orange-yellow color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a ring around the edge

S- zesty tangerine on the nose up front along with undertones of mint leaf, orange marmalade, grass & just a hint of malt

T- orange and tangerine hops dominate up front, adding a strong juicy element along with some zesty and pithy notes. Mid-palate gives some leafy and grassy notes, along with a hint of mango. The finish gives more juicy citrus and lingers of grapefruit zest and mint

M- medium body and carbonation, foamy mouthfeel and a semi-dry crisp finish

O- bold and citrus forward throughout, this one lingers for a long time
