Dat Juice
Twin Sails Brewing

Creamy head, opaque, citrus, orange juice, but a bit too grapefruit leaning, too bitter for the abv.

On tap at Mahony’s Tavern (Convention Center, Vancouver, BC), 16 oz happy
Hour pour into a branded Twin Sails glass. Hazy golden yellow with a modest froth of white creamy head. Orange citrus, pine and subtle tropical fruit on the nose. Flavors follow with bready malt, orange and grapefruit citrus, and more hints of tropical fruit. Medium body, creamy feel and moderate carbonation. Highly drinkable hazy PA.

Hazy, fizzy head that dissipate quickly

Taste malty sweet, low-medium bitterness
Light bodied, thicker than soda
Definitely crushable and refreshing
Not bad at all

Cloudy orange-tan color. Pours a tall head that quickly turns into large bubbles. Large amount of tiny bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Left a bit of lacing on the side of the glass.

Light citrus and barnyard scents. Swirling the glass made them a little more intense.

Mild tart fruit flavor overtaken by a mild barnyard and mild bitters. A bit of citrus showed up in the aftertaste along with a light hoppy bitter.

Foams up rapidly with a bit of a burn on the tongue. Medium body as the foam collapses.

Nothing really exciting about this one. Most of the local beers have been destroyed with excessive barnyard, so this one is notable by reducing the barnyard a couple of notches, but still not enough to deserve buying any more of these. With the previous reviews ending 2 years ago, it seems like the recipe has been changed for the worse.

473ml can - wow, there are four craft breweries in like a two block stretch in Port Moody. And I do like the name here, FWIW.

This beer pours a murky, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some recently split Pangaea lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.

It smells of orange, lemon, and white grapefruit flesh, some stoney flintiness, a gritty and grainy pale maltiness, and more earthy, weedy, and spicy floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, some muddled domestic citrus juiciness, a wet minerality, faint earthy spice, and more leafy, weedy, and damp grassy verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and fairly smooth, with a nice airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a little bit. It finishes off-dry, the fruity esters not really letting their feet off of the gas.

Overall - this is an agreeable and well-rendered version of this sub-style of PA/IPA, the Citra hop really put to good use here. Refreshing, easy to drink, and a splendid introduction for me to this operation, who had more than a suggestion of hype to live up to, and they certainly have.
