Head On
Long Live Beerworks

16 can, dated about 5 months old, but picked up at the brewery last month

pours hazy opaque medium yellow in color, with thick creamy off-white head. good head retention and some lacing. pleasant aroma is well rounded hops - a little citrus, grassy, some dankness. taste is a little sweet, more fruity. but not cloying. softer mouthfeel

Pours a dull orange with a hazy clarity and a loose, quarter inch, head that quickly disperses into a tight band around the shoulders and a soapy swirl across the surface. Lovely bands of lacing coat the bowl. Nose is subdued - hints of citrus and pith. Taste consistent nose with the addition of some herbal/solvent notes. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body with a prickly carbonation that leaves a residual tingle across the palate. Overall, drinkable; however, not my favorite offering from LL.

 

 

On-tap 8/2/2023 at the brewery’s taproom in Providence, RI, served in a snifter glass.

A: The beer is a very hazy light yellowish gold color, with a short white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains strong floral and dank hops, very strong juicy citrus and tropical fruit, light caramelized malts.

T: The taste likewise starts out with a strong burst of floral and dank hops bitterness that is quickly followed by a strong fruity and juicy citrus and tropical sweetness. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and brings a very good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.

M: Smooth and very crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.

O: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, good kick, very good representation of style. This is an excellent 2NEIPA to drink for long time.
