Accidental Wilderness
Honest Weight Artisan Beer

 

On tap at Canary Square in Boston, MA.



This one pours a reasonably hazy golden yellow, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like orange, melon, and some light pine.

I’d want a bit more crispness here, but it’s definitely got a nice juiciness, like ripe melon and sweet orange juice, with just a touch of bitterness on the back end.

This is medium bodied, pretty drinkable, with a smooth creaminess.

Honest Weight tends to be one of the more underrated and lesser known MA breweries.

 

 

 

A- Pours from the tallboy into a becher glass with a very hazy golden body. The head forms nicely to two fingers with a thick foamy texture and good retention. Huge amount of lacing that resembles webbed sheets.

S- Solid balanced hop profile of tropical/stone fruits, citrus, floral and dank notes. Mango, peach, tangerine, slight melon, grapefruit and bubble gum come to mind. Medium hop strength and just a hint of the grains like a fresh mash of two row.

T- Moderately low hop strength with the same general balance as the aroma of soft stone fruit like peach and nectarine, tropical fruit like mango, some melon, bubble gum, floral, dank weed and onion hints. Oats come to mind as well as base grain mash. Light sweetness and bitterness.

MF- Puffy and frothy body with a moderate level of carbonation. Light clean bitterness lingers.

Doesn't quite have the pungency of other modern IPAs but the ferment is clean and there is absolutely no hop acrid powdery bitterness.

 

 

Pint can Opened and reviewed on 3/8/20. Citra, Motueka & Simcoe hops.
5.6 % abv.

Funny how light and practically "session" this IPA tastes compared to most hazy IPA's because of the abv%
Being under the normal 7% or so. It almost comes across as a hazy Pale Ale.

Dank and hazy look inside the orange hues gold color. Adequate white foam forms a cap, dissipates quickly though, and the cover is spread thin with bits of lacing leftover.

Aromatics are heavy fruity hops, sweet tropical, sour candy and light golden grains of sweetly scented malt.

A righteous hop flavor complexity of stone fruits, heavy golden grains, dry earthy grasses and sour citrus effects comes in heavy. A dry and grainy malty bite rolls all around the depth of the hop flavor to provide a nice New England style flavor balance.

The feels are dry and crisp with grainy and chunky hops and malt, medium bodied I suppose, both crisp and smooth. Complex texture is right on for the style. Crazy easy to drink due to the lower alcohol and complex feel and taste.

Honest Weight from Orange Massachusetts had been very impressive so far, with each style I've tried so far.

Tasty. Great start w tang and flavor in the mouth. Touch of malt. A bit disappointed in the finish.
