Everything Is Everything
Honest Weight Artisan Beer

 

No freshness information. Sweet orange dominates, there is some pineapple and mango as well. The finish brings a bland bitterness. This is just okay, maybe a bit long in the tooth.

 

Pours bright gold color with a fizzy off-white head that settles very quickly with no lacing. The aroma has mostly stone fruit notes - maybe a apricot and nectarine mix, though there are tangerine notes in the background. The taste is dense and rich with a sweet nectarine flavor up front I think due to a tart kick, but it mellows out soon allowing the tangerine notes to come through. There is a touch of caramel in the finish but this is not an overly sweet beer, rather nicely balanced in that regard actually. Pale malts are lost behind it all. Feel is somewhat soft, cut into by a moderate to strong carbonation. Bitterness is light to moderate. There is a slight alcohol burn most felt up front oddly enough.

This is a tasty beer and a great entry in the NEIPA domain. If visiting this part of MA it should be a no-brainer to stop of try this one out. Flavors are rich and interesting, the feel is a little weird with all the carbonation but not off-putting.

 

 

 

 

Beer pours with a decent amount of haze. Light orange with little head. taste and smell are of tropical hops, the taste is also a little on the orange side. The beer is sweet and has very little bitterness and light carbonation. Overall, a juicy beer, but does not drink much like a beer.

A- Very hazy golden body from the taps to a becher. A thick and creamy white cap ascend to about two fingers with good retention. Several thick sheets of lacing.

S- Most of the aroma comes from the hops with large floral, dank and citrus oil contingents joined by spicy, tropical fruits, herbal and piney hints. A touch of pale caramel sweets and cereal grains.

T- Seems to shift quite a bit besides the tropical fruit like cantaloupe and mango that gain strength here to compete with pine resin, grapefruit, tangerine, herbal, floral and grassy hops. Slightly sweet but laidback for the ABV. Sharp grapefruit pith bitterness. Some booze comes out later on.

MF- Medium-thick body with a creamy yet not chewy texture. Very high end puffy carbonation that is mostly smooth. Finishes with the aforementioned edgy bitterness.

A smorgasbord of different flavors as hops make up most if the flavor with a malt base to balance. I guess it leans towards citrus and dankness but a beer of its own for sure.
