Say It Ain't So
High Branch Brewing Company

A: Pours a murky pale to medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and faint bright orange + pale yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy almost creamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of juicy citrus/grapefruit, tropical/mango, tropical/papaya, and citrus/orange hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + oat + wheat + honey malts with a light to moderate amount of honey sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + oat + wheat + honey malts with a light to moderate amount of honey sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of juicy citrus/grapefruit, tropical/mango, tropical/papaya, and citrus/orange hops which impart a hint of bitterness which fades away almost instantly leaving lingering tropical + citrus hops flavors.

M: Slightly lighter than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a pleasant and familiar NEIPA tropical + citrus hop profile.
