Another IPA that doesn't reveal it's a hazy brew on the label. Hazy amber brew with long-lasting foam in the Sam Adams glass. Pleasant aroma of orange. Tastes exactly like canned pineapple juice, even to the metallic finish, but more acidic and more sweet. Not very bitter or beery either. Suggested food pairing: cheap tequila shooters. From the 16 oz can purchased on the West Coast. Not dated.

Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus white head, which also leaves some pretty nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, peach, papaya, guava), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, guava), pretty nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty beer. MilkShake! Orange Julius! Addictive!

On tap at the brewery. Hazy orange color, indistinguishable from my buddies Rare Trait. Aroma is nice and fruity. Flavor was odd and not pleasant to my palate.

 

 

 

another hazy ipa from cerebral, their new beers are coming fast and furious these days, but this one to me smells better than it tastes, although the hops are hard to identify specifically for either sense. very pale in color and not as milky as some of their others, just a light cloudiness to it, but the beer is creamy headed and very appetizing, not so raw. aroma is light citrus, kiwi fruit, and white wheat, at least to me, maybe a southern hemisphere strain or two. in the taste though, the hops seem more generic, less peculiar to me maybe is a better way to say that, still juicy and fresh, but more mildly dosed and without the little flashes of uniqueness. light melon and lemon lime there with the grain, its very round and relaxed feeling too, i wouldnt have guessed it to be as strong as it is. just a bit of bitterness to finish, wish i knew what the hops were. overall this is good and very much on trend, but the hoppy stuff has never been what i liked best about cerebral, and this is somewhat of a continuation of that, good but not as awesome as everyone is going to make it out to be...
