Inspiring Hope
Twin Elephant Brewing Company

I had this at the brewery on its first night on draught. It pours an opaque, honey-yellow color with a finger of creamy, bright snow white head and thick lacing. It's an attractive pour. On the nose there is lemon, lime, tangerine, and ripe melon. The taste opens with tart lemon and grapefruit. There is also tangerine, honey, and dry wheat cracker. It becomes sweeter as the glass warms. The bill of Nelson, Galaxy, and El Dorado hops are flavorful but not very bitter. It finishes easily. The mouth feel is plush and creamy with moderate carbonation, and the 7.1% ABV gives it substance. Overall, Inspiring Hope is a nice, easy drinking IPA. that is on the dry side. Unfortunately, it suffers by comparison to some of Twin Elephant's other IPA offerings.

A: hazy pale orange color that’s thick like juice. Large, 1-2 finger solid silky off-white head

S: sweet lemons, creamsicle, tangerine, sharp pineapple, guava, cantaloupe, and biscuity crackers

T: lemons, guava, mild grapefruit and pine bitterness. Following that is dry clementines and creamsicle ice cream. A slightly floral note towards the back of the tongue with some pineapple. Bready malts bring it together

M: super fluffy medium mouthfeel with no carbonation

O: everything is on point for a NEIPA, however the flavors isn’t popping too much. Not bad, just very much one note
