Raised Grain Brewing Company

 

Excuse me these are my interim tasting notes I need to make it into a full review... Pardon my dust

I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed this one sooner I bought a four pack... I'm investigating all types of beer all star and styles I started with Mars and now I'm in the IPA region I've tried the naked threesome juicy...

Look appearance: I would guess yes or him as a 6 without really comparing... Lacing is evident citrus is there Hops might be masking some of the proteins from the grain bill... Grains are subtle yeast is subtle This is a aromatic citrusy hop forward style beer similar to the naked but stripped down a little but not in a bad way is lower alcohol lower sugar delightful very drinkable alternative to the near clawing oh my god I'm drinking full ass juice sort of experience with the naked threesome... This could be the exact hot profile I'm not certain but I sense it...

I'm beginning to get good at evaluating beers... Just from the smell of it I characterized this as a an American IPA with a hop forward lighter style juicy but we'll see what... The official style is I'm just going to drink... 16 oz into a reset glass I've got a 16 oz can I won't pour the whole thing but I want to take a look at what this looks like.....smell Noses giving me citrus right away.. is a faint whiff of that salter smell I'm not going to say cat urine but I found it heavy and some other beers and I'm now aware but I'll just call it a fruity grapefruit... That's not distracting at these lower levels... It was certainly a Boeing I smelled it in a test batch at another brewery... Tom Hong citrus I also smell a piney I'm not sure if this can be bitter I think I've had it before and it's not at all bitter but the hot profile suggests that it could be....... There's no malt or yeast notes above the hopping... But when we pour this into the glass we'll know

Color SRM is at least a four maybe a five but not much more It's light golden not quite honey colored... Unless it's the very license lightest honey clov oh what's that around orangefield and then a ride up to a sharp bittering not heavy bitter mind you but it's there It says here I am I'm hops take another sip...er... The nose shows more pine at first but then it rounds into an orange citrus... I don't want to say piney It says cold IPA and I'm not going to declare a coast but as soon as I taste it I'll know Let's call it American for now...

My notes are getting a little bit scrambled This is a little bit drier than some of the ones I've had so I would call it no coast not particularly happy not sweet not juicy they're calling it cold IPA It's a dumb-down version of their naked threesome which is chewy sugary delicious... This is all the nuances of flavor without that heavy malt and heavy juice sugar sort of feel got to take a look at the ABV..... This is packaged 923-2025 so it's less than 4 months old I think we're good I don't see that ABV so we'll have to do a little research but it's not a problem....

Taste and

mouth feel carbonation is good bitterness is good It's a medium to light mouth feel very sessionable.
It's not slowing me down...

 

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of fresh citrus and tropical fruit. Tastes of citrus and tropical fruit. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.
