Subject Nine
Civil Society Brewing

Poured from a 32oz crowler into a CSBC snifter. Looks like apple juice in the glass with a thick head of loosely packed soapy bubbles that quickly disappeared to a solid ring and thin island of foam on the surface with spotty clinging lace. Smells of slightly turned stone fruit, apples, and slight brown sugar notes. Taste follows the nose along with slight alcohol and strong malt backbone. The feel is light, crisp, and very dry with no aftertaste. Another very solid New England style IPA from the only company in Florida that is able to replicate the style. Very reminiscent of Maine Brewing's "Lunch". My only complaint is I'm an hour from the brewery, and this isn't canned with a large distribution range (yet).

 

32 oz crowler. Orange body with a small white head. The smell is atrocious. Butter throughout. Some light citrus. Offensive. If I hold my nose, I can take a sip. It's got some grapefruit and caramel. But then butter overwhelms everything. Medium body. This is really bad.
