The Juice Beyond
Corridor Brewery & Provisions

 

 

 

 

I went to Corridor last week to get Neon Party before it ran out, and once it did, I switched to TJB. So glad I was able to experience this!!!! It's honestly one of the best NEIPAs I've ever been able to try in Chicago. I wouldn't change anything about this beer at all. Outstanding!

 

Draft at Corridor. One of their best. Appearance is straight orange juice with good bit of foam on the pour. Really tropical and juicy. Aroma and flavor. Mango, citrus... all that good stuff. They also nailed the carbonation and the full mouthfeel. Definitely would get this again and again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

32oz crowler, filled on 1.14.18, enjoyed on 1.15.17, poured into a Corridor pint glass.

The beer pours a super hazy and turbid orange color, golden and straw hues with a big foamy white head, about two fingers tall that has great retention and yields a superb amount of soapy white lace. The aroma is very juicy, tons of stone fruits, peach and apricot with bright mango and pineapple, very floral with a nice bright bouquet of wildflower, juicy citrus with some grassy green hop leaf and light pine character with ample sweet yeast and doughy malt. The flavors are very good, tons of juicy citrus and tropical fruits, light peach and mango as well with soft wildflower and sweet yeast, light doughy malt while there is a nice bitterness, grassy and piney hops add some nice balancing character with a lingering mineral water. The mouthfeel is great, fluffy and soft medium body, coating and creamy with nice lively carbonated feel that is so gentle with a smooth and easy finish that is lightly dry.

Verdict: A great hazy style IPA from Corridor. They are really starting to dial in their hoppy beers and this one is certainly a standout. Tons of fruit character, bright and complex that isn't too sweet, there is a nice bitter bite to it that keeps the beer somewhat balanced. A juicy hazer that is firing on all cylinders.

This is the best NE IPA I’ve ever had. Unfiltered haze look, mango smell and dank but sweet taste. Some NE IPAs get their sweetness from lactose but I don’t get much if any of that from this beer, and it’s all the better for it. Phenomenal job of lowering the bitterness while drawing out the Galaxy and Mosaic Hop flavors.

 

 

 

 

Tasted in a snifter from draft at Corridor Brewery & Provisions on January 7, 2018. Look is hazy orange gold with a thick head and lingering lacing. Smell and taste is juicy fruits, mango and peach. Feel is medium in body.
