On tap at the yard house

An american ipa that’s made ENTIRELY from oats and wheat. Splendidly hazy with aromas of stonefruit, pineapple, and citrus. An insane amount of Citra and Denali hops per barrel make this beer an incredibly juicy and citrusy treat with an approachable level of bitterness.

Hazy iced tea appearance

One finger Silky white froth foam cap

Taste is pineapple

Good beer

L-Hazy oak colored..

S-Vibrant scents of citrus (tangerines, lemons) along with honey dew melon..also a bit of grungy pine...

F-Flavor brings in a strong pineapple flavor....juicy pineapple..the citrus is there too but milder than on the aroma....a bit of bong resin grunginess....touch of pine...

F-Medium bodied...creamy..no hopburn...very smooth and creamy...

O-This seems unique to me for this style....a real plethora of flavors and unlike so many of the orange juice like NE IPA's I've had....It's very good and worth trying...

 

2016 notes (when it was called Deviation 02):

Hazy (but promising in future batches to be hazier), bright golden hued, large and lasting ivory head. Looking fantastic.

In the nose: bursting with citrus sensations, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, not too terribly bitter, but bursting with hoppy delights.

In the mouth: Pow! More citrus, more hoppitude, more delicious bitterness. Big, beautiful bitterness, with the lushness and smoothness of wheat and oats below it. Marvelous malt bill beneath, solid, sturdy, dependable, and, yeah, delicious. It's a complex and simply tasty beer, and it's one of the best I've had in quite awhile. I hope it becomes a success for Modist, and I'll do my duty banging the drum for it. Pretty danged tasty stuff.

 

 

Canned 01/18/2022 and enjoyed on 5/11/2022
Appearance: Pours a dark golden orangish color with 2 fingers of snow-white foam. Fairly opaque, but there doesn’t seem to be any floating sediment. Nice lacing on the glass.

Smell: Upfront aromas are mostly fruity include mango, pineapple, sweet orange, and apricot. orange rind, and grapefruit. Bitterness is also present with orange rind, grapefruit, and pine. A bit of flowery esters is also present with a hint of bready malts as well.

Taste: Follows the nose with a slightly more bitter bite than you might expect from the nose. Mango seems to be the most pronounced of the fruit aromas, pine and resin pleasantly present, and good balance with the caramel and bready malts present.

Feel: Crisp and well-balanced, easily drinkable and no hint of alcohol warmness considering the 7.1% abv

Overall: Good NEIPA! This is the first Modist beer I’ve had (I hope to have more), and it’s a good refreshing summer beer that easily drinkable.

Buy again? definitely

Appearance: Pours a completely hazy (5% clarity) deep, yet pale, orange color with a strong, creamy white head. SRM of 8. (4.25)

Aroma: Mild aromas of stonefruit, orange, and oats. Like a hoppy wheat beer. (4.00)

Flavor: Relatively mild flavors of pineapple, passionfruit, orange citrus. Lots of pineapple and some passionfruit upfront. Some citrus to back it up. (4.00)

Feel: Medium-bodied. A creamy and smooth body with some slightly stonefruit astringency, but mostly creamy (4.00)

Compared to Equillibrium Fractal Galaxy 5/8/22: Pours a darker color. Milder aromas. More stonefruit, oats. Less peach and orange citrus. Less fruity overall.

Overall: A NEIPA with only oats and wheat in that malt. Definitely has the creamy mouthfeel. However, the flavors are mild and subdued. Some nice creamy mouthfeel, but not extraordinary. Sort of more up the alley of a hoppy summer wheat variety, such as Lil-Sumpin-Sumpin. A pretty good NEIPA, but sort of lacked on the flavor a bit to be in the top echelon. (Rating: 4.02)

 

 

 

 

 

 

My fave.

One of their best, actually Modist’s best if you like this style.

 

 

 

 

Great NE with a touch of a malt backbone

Pours a hazy orange with soft, soapy head.

Smell is juicy and sweet with notes of pineapple, apricot, strawberries and peach juice with some floral hints.

Taste is juicy and intense. Notes of grapefruit, orange, citrus peel, mango and some floral hints. Pretty solid bitterness, very nice balance.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and pillowy with nice carbonation.

Overall, a very nice NE IPA, glad I gave it a second chance after getting an oxidized can the first time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A pint can poured into a clear glass liter mug and that's a fortuitous thing. It brought forth a tight white head that just kept growing. Now, it's leaving an impressive amount of glass lacing as it recedes. There's plenty of hoppiness in the air. It's the good kind, the sharp and piney kind. The ale is a murky strawberry blond. This one brings the hops in a tasty array. First, a little juicy, then towards dry and finishing bitter. After the praise, the complaints. All this is delivered with a thin malt backbone. A richer malt to contrast the hops would have put this one into the ranks of the best. Also, the taste of alcohol is a bit strong for a Double Dry Hopped New England IPA with an ABV of "only" 7.1 percent. Still, the way the hops contribute makes this one every hop lover will enjoy.

 

My go to Minnesota IPA.

 

 

 

 

It’s a pretty easy question: Is Dreamyard dreamy? And Raul’s answer is: If you are feeling it, yeah, it’s one of those thangs. Some people feel this, while other people feel that. And right here is one of those really cloudlike, almost Blue Moon IPA’s. And Raul will say this: It’s clean like a rain storm. That being said, what if you forgot your umbrella? What I am trying to get at is that Raul ain’t into that yeasty, cloudy stuff. And he definitly ain’t into no Blue Moon-like beer. I understand why people would like this beer, but it doesn’t mean that Raul has to.

Peace!
