Hop Water #1
Narrow Gauge Brewing Company

 

Pours a light bright cloudy yellow color. Smell is very subdued - slightly sweet and grainy not much else going on. Taste is eatery with some nice citrus and hop bite. Although it's light and drinkable the hops really pop - nicely done "session" flavor. Feel is very light, crisp and drinkable almost refreshing. Overall this isn't a beer I'd pick up in a crowler but in a case of cans, is love this. Not sure it's quite dialed in yet, but for what they're going for it's very good.

Pours a light yellow with a thin filament of haze to it. Finger of white head sitting on top that retain well, with fair lacing left behind. Aroma is light, providing a dose of citrus peel. Not much more there, just enticing enough to encourage a sip. Flavor profile features hops well considering the 3% ABV. It's citrus, and orange notes through and through, although it clearly lacks depth. Not a problem considering it's 3%. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a crisp feel. Overall, this beer is almost shocking how present the hops are considering it's only 3%. For those seeking flavor in their session beers, this is a prime example.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow. This actually looks like a glass of fresh squeezed OJ. So cloudy and filled with white bubbles. It smelled juicy and sweet. The flavors are muted - sweet orange and pineapple.
