Parallelograms
Newgrass Brewing Company

 

Pint can of unknown freshness, no visible date. However, it must be pretty fresh given how recently it was added to the database. Pours an orange brown, thick and cloudy with a thin layer of quickly dissipating head.

Muted nose, with peach, yeast rolls, kiwi, and cocktail fruit syrup. Much the same on the palate, enjoyable but a bit nondescript compared to stronger entries to the NEIPA craze.

A: Pours a murky dark golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate honey + copper + dark yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense creamy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, citrus/orange, tropical/pineapple, and tropical/melon hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of toasted + biscuit + caramel + oat malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of toasted + biscuit + caramel + oat malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit, citrus/orange, citrus/orange rind, tropical/pineapple, and tropical/melon hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away very quickly leaving light lingering citrus + tropical hops flavors.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly soft/fluffy in the mid-body with a slightly thin/watery finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and refreshing though a touch thin in the mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a nice combination of hop flavors and aromas but without the common tropical/mango aspect.
