Space Camper IPA Saga - Lotus Aura
Boulevard Brewing Co.

I got a can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had subtle fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright light malt base with subtle fruit presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

 

 

 

Pours a foggy, nearing-murky orange with two fingers of off-white foam. Head retention is good. Aroma is herbal, resiny, grassy, and citrusy hops with spry bready, earthy malts beyond. The earthy notes mingling with herbal and resiny keep this smelling like some deep forest with freshly turned soil. Flavor profile is herbal, resiny, grassy, lemon grass, and orange zest with light bready and earthy malts at the back. Really hop forward at the start, with malts getting stronger and stronger at the finish, although hops remain the focal point throughout. Mouth feel is medium-thin with a mild effervescence throughout. It's just soft enough to fall short of being truly crisp. Overall, an interesting mash-up of hop notes, this one doesn't drink the most refreshing, but offers up some more novel or unique notes for a IPA.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 12oz can.

 

 

 

Pours an effervescent honey color with a thumb of pearl colored head. Decent head retention & lacing

S: Grassy citrussy, mangos

T: Follows the nose, a little dryness up front. Leafy hops & lime as this warms, grassiness as well & a little bit of pomelo as this warms. Green melon, lime & dryness in the finish

MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, pretty good balance

Easy drinker, needed a little something more for me to love this

 

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of floral-Lotus hops, citrus and caramel. Sweet citrusy bite with herbal notes and toasted caramel.
