Turning the pages over on a new Nosh. Highlighting the original bad boy, the dank warrior. So, join forces with us on our quest to navigate the ways of single hopped sheer magnificence…Swirl, Sip, Enjoy, Repeat. Simcoe grips the reigns and electrifies the panorama, blazing through the malt loaf formed terrain, past pillars of flaked oats and torrified wheat and trekking to unimaginable heights. This is the hoppy truth, the homelands kush, the OG killer. Notes of rain soaked grapefruit, pine stamped earth, tangerine claps across a peachy rumble.

Good afternoon, morning and evening, NBS! Coming at you today with a couple new growlers that I purchased yesterday at Twin Elephant Brewing Company, in Chatham, NJ. First up to today is an IPA.
Look: The beer pours a pale gold, opaque and murky color. The head is off white, and seems to struggle forming a bit. Probably attributable to the packaging. Some streaks of lacing as I drink the beer. An attractive NEIPA.
Smell: Really nice burst of hops here. Catty, piney, tropical and stone fruit, like pineapple and peach. Some lemon rind and pith.
Taste: I don't drink a ton of Twin Elephant beers, but I notice a trend that their NEIPA are relatively dry. This observation is not a complaint. And a rather welcome one considering how these beers can often be way too sweet. The Simcoe is present here, but not over the top. Some catty and grassy notes. Gentle notes of tropical fruit, but the first two shine. Lemon pith and rind. A touch floral as well. The beer doesn't taste like cat piss smells, but it does have the note.
Feel: Low carbonation, but still a bit prickly on the palate. I think this feeling could also result from the dry profile.
Overall: This beer is really nice. Most IPA's that I drink nowadays are not under 7%. I think one's palate must adjust to a beer like this when regularly drinking 8% - 10% DIPA, especially when some of those have lactose in them.
