Fresh 'n' Wet
Civil Society Brewing

 

 

A-Super cloudy juice look that these guys have been killing lately

S- citrus, little pineapple, w lots of lemon

T - wow, a lot going on here in a good way. Waves of tropical notes. I get lemon. Like candy lemon. Nice hop bunch but extremely balanced.

M - coats the mouth but fades out quickly which I love in an ipa.

O - another outstanding brew from these guys. Well rounded and exceptional. Seek this one out.

Very typical CSBC cloudy juice appearance and sweet juicy smell. This one has a bitter hop taste up front, but finishes with a slightly odd celery flavored earthy note. Still an enjoyable IPA that is unrivaled by anything Florida brewers are doing, but not my favorite Civil Society beer.

32 oz. crowler. Amarillo double wet hopped version of Fresh. Murky orange with a big white head. Smells of orange, grapefruit, a little bit of sweet mango. Tastes of straight orange and hop resins. Aggressively hoppy and bitter immediately. Really strong. Normally Civil Society produces a low bitterness IPA, so this is well outside their norm. Finishes with a grapefruit pith aftertaste. Medium body. Has a medium bodied malt profile that adds a little sweetness, like Fresh. This is so much hoppier than regular Fresh. Out of control amarillo hop presence. I'm gonna say it's too bitter, though that sort of a thing doesn't dissuade me, just makes it a little less drinkable.
