Marsh Island Brewing

 

Exceptional stuff, and ages well - been drinking (canned 11/27) this since a week old, and until now almost 2mos later - no perceptible loss of hop character, smells, or flavors!

Pours hazy light yellow with a nice sticky cap of white that clings the glass. Aroma is grapefruit and mostly citrus, though there are some mild tropical fruit notes. Flavor follows, but with a blast of equal citrus and fruit mid-sip, followed by such balanced light bready malt presence. Finish is clean and ever so slightly dry. Exceptional (did I mention that?)!

 

Beer is a hazy color between straw and banana. Nose is complex: tropical fruit, banana, some citrus. Taste follows the nose. Tropical fruit, peach, banana, with a nice bitter finish without any hop burn. Mouthfeel is excellent. Soft and very drinkable. Overall, this is a really good beer. One of the better NEIPAs I've had lately.

16oz can dated 8/1/19.

Pours murky gold with a creamy head of white. Retention and lacing is moderate. Pithy grapefruit, mango, pineapple and white grapes in the nose. Medium bodied with a creamy, soft, chewy mouthfeel. Grapefruit pith, unripe peach, and bitter hops on the palate. Finishes with zero malt and aggressive hops.

I'm trying this beer at the brewery. It poured a hazy yellow with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had bitter citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with a balance of melon and berry versus bitter citrus presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

From the 16 oz. can with no date that I can see. Sampled on June 24, 2019.

Murky, cloudy looking pale yellow like a NEIPA should be. Quickly fading white head.

Big aroma of citrus, fruit, and white bread. Typical of the style I just say. Damn, this is smooth all around. I get a good bready, toasty character with fruity and citrus hops playing up on the backside. Bready too.

The body is about medium but enticing.

The bready character takes over the sweet taste at first but the vibrant fruit and citrus character become front and center after a moment.
