Shadows On the Sun
Casa Agria Specialty Ales

Consumed in June 2020. We're starting to get into the pandemic era of beer reviews, where they would just ship beer to you in the middle of BFE Northern Nevada. I'm down.

Pours a consistency and color of a screwdriver laden orange juice. 1/2" white head, above average lacing on the glass. The nose does not lack hops, and they go hard on the citrus. Orange, tangerine, tangelo kind of vibes all over the nose.

Taste got a little more varied, the Strata and Galaxy start pushing a comparable amount of pineapple, berry, weed like notes on the palate. The body is light yet totally adept at making 8% seem pretty crushable. You only end up with a light but enough to not be problematic trub ipa amount of bitterness and alcohol warmth. I drank these really easy even in the heat. Looks like the pic I took was on the drive to Unionville. Its pretty versatile, wanna go swim, golf, watch the game, whatever, this beer was in a 4 pack and all 4 times I had it, was a different situation, temp, setting etc., but this managed to be excellent in every setting.

 

Sweet and ripe stonefruit, tropical hoppy, and orange citrus-dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a juicy-soft, tropical hoppy, grapefruit citrus, and hoppy-dank swallow...everything is pretty well-balanced here except the citrus hoppy bitterness on the backend. This is quality stuff and well done!
