Nosh: Galaxy & Citra
Twin Elephant Brewing Company

 

This batch, unlike the previous batch released in cans, is 7.6% ABV. Pint on draught at the brewery. It pours an opaque, pastel light tangerine color with a fluffy, bright white head and lots of soapy lacing. It's a very attractive pint. It's nose features tangerine, lemon, and whiffs of peach, onion, and lite floral hops. The taste opens super tart and lemony with grapefruit rind. It's slightly sour and acidic. The Galaxy hops produce a fair amount of bitterness at the finish. However, as the glass warms, there are sweet notes of pineapple and tangerine. It's medium-bodied and well-carbonated making it crisp and clean. Despite the 7.6% ABV it's highly drinkable. Overall, this version of Nosh is terrific. If you want a DIPA without oats, lactose, and tons of tropical fruit, then you should like this offering.
