The Fans
Rusty Rail Brewing Company

 

It's quite a foamy pour that emptied the contents of a pint can into a clear glass liter mug. It's stark white and recedes unevenly and unattractively. The color of the brew is yellow-orange and it's opaque, in a hazy way. There's some fruit references to the smell, closest to pineapple, maybe a little white grape, too. Is that a hint of wheat in there? Whatever, this isn't a solidly defined aroma and it's faint. There's plenty of carbonation, but other than that, there's very little to its body, especially as a hazy. Not that there's much flavor to carry. This is as light in flavor as it is in body and aroma. The pineapple reference is gone. This tastes like an Adjunct Lager, with just a little more vague hoppy bitterness and maybe less sweet. Despite the light body, there's at least some glass lacing. Maybe this could work for fans in the stands having many. But, for taste and mouthfeel, most will be sitting on their hands, rather than applauding

 

Penn State game:
LOOK: Good looking IPA. Very pale straw yellow with an abundant pure white head and copius side glass lace. Head slowly recedes but still retains a small half finger head.
AROMA: Some sour and pungent citrus of grapefruit and mango as well as pine nuts.
TASTE: The citrus is not as sharp as in the aroma. There is the a sour part that is moderate, but not biting. Smooth, easy drinking. Sour and drying after taste.
Has a thin mouthfeel.

Not a top shelf NEIPA, but still pretty good. This is the best beer option for a craft beer lover in PSU's Beaver stadium. Decently juicy and drinkable and holds to hazy profile.
