Short Stories With Tragic Endings
Twin Elephant Brewing Company

Pint on draught at the brewery. It pours an opaque, pastel yellow-orange color with a half finger of creamy, eggshell-colored head and soapy lacing. It smells of lemon, lime, tangerine, onion, and just a whiff of ripe melon. The taste opens with bitter, tart citrus: grapefruit rind, lemon, and onion. It's really dank. Initially, there's just a hint of melon on the tip of the tongue but it becomes more apparent as the glass warms. There are also notes of crackery malt and it finishes dry and quite bitter. This ale is smooth and creamy with moderate carbonation, and a punchy 7.6% ABV that gives it good substance. Overall, this IPA is dry and smooth with lots of flavor. And it does a good job of taking the edge of after a long day at work.

A: hazy orange and yellow color with a flat white 1 finger head

S: mango, passionfruit, pineapple, guava, orange zest, sweet clementines, creamsicle, sweet malts and wet crackers

T: pineapple, mango, and some bitter grapefruit. Strawberry, apricot, guava, and some herbal bitterness. A touch of sweet malts and biscuits at the end

M: medium mouthfeel with low carbonation. A bit more carbonation than other NEIPA’s

O: pretty solid. There is a touch of bitterness combined with tropical fruit. It’s not overly sweet, so quite drinkable
