Manana
Superflux Beer Company

My least favorite of the 3 I tried from Superlux. Lacks the lightly sweet and fruity quality of Colour and Shape. Lacks the extreme drinkability of Happyness. Very tasty but a bit samey to Colour and Shape with less of the "hazy IPA" tropical quality. All 4 Superlux beers were tasty and worth sampling but this one I'm least likely to revisit.

Pretty good. Most of Superfluxes IPAs taste pretty samey to me, but they are all damn good.

 

 

 

473ml can poured into tulip.

Pours a milky nectarine yellow with one finger of fluffy white head that leaves some mountainous horizon lace as it recedes.

Smells awesome. The instant you crack the can, there is intense mango, peach, perfectly ripe orange slices, honeyed lemon cookies, rainy stone and some citrusy, piney hops.

Tastes of orange peel, more mango and peach fruitiness, lemon squares, more flinty hard water and pleasantly dank hops.

Feels big and soft. Hefty medium bodied with subdued carbonation. Finishes a bit on the chewy side.

Verdict: Vigorously recommended. The smell alone is enough for a recommendation, but it tastes pretty good too.

Seeing the ratings - ?bad can or is this like cilantro for me...
Pours a milky yellow to peachy colour with 3 fingers bubbly white head breaking down to a rocky foam. At the bottom of the glass a brownish sediment remained post consumption.
Juicy slightly chalky aroma - pineapple, orange, slightly dank hops.
Hop dominated taste - citrus, a bit tropical, pine, grapefruit peel, a chalky aspirin note with an astringent bitterness at back of palate.
Medium mouthfeel on subdued carbonation - lingering astringent chalky bitterness seemed to not want to go away. Honestly I probably would have scored this lower except maybe this is just not for my palate (looking back to the well rated Hydro Thunder from Collective Arts which did the exact same thing for me (and left the same brownish sediment)), as I would always pick a west coast IPA over a hazy and this has perhaps closed the door on future hazy IPAs.

 

Good hop aroma. Great mouthfeel. Big hazy look. Very smooth drinker. Thanks for the hookup, Phil. late spring beers. One of the best I've had from Superflux. had again at the source. just as good.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy bright yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of dank notes with huge citrusy notes with some huge floral undertones notes. Taste is also dominated by huge dank notes with some floral undertones and citrusy notes. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Super enjoyable NEIPA with great hop flavours.

CAN
Milky tan with steady, pocked off white head; passionfruit + banana pineapple smoothie nose; tangerine, apricot, blueberry, lemon verbena, and grapefruit granata; humming oily linger, soft.

4.25 4 4.25. 4 4.25

A fluttery, delicate take on NEIPA. No hop info (though Superflux themselves say it's usually a ton of Citra) but it plays out like Mosaic + something Aussie or maybe El Dorado for the high notes (with a touch of hop burn.) If there's a knock, it's the body: thin for an IPA, though at 6.5%, you could argue it fits better as an APA.

Another line in the argument that SF, not Boombox, are the better NEIPA brewery in Van.

 

 

Poured from a 473ml can.
A: Super hazy crazy IPA. Thick white head with lots of sticky lacing.
S: Nose is a hop and tropical fruit bomb.
T: What can i say another great chewy hazy full of flavor.
F: Medium body super easy to drink.
O: Awesome, not up there with Pablo but close.
