Mo'rilla
River Roost Brewery

 

 

Picked-up a single can at Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, Vermont for an unknown amount. Solid, albeit unspectacular brew, my second from these guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 16 oz can purchased directly from the brewery. Pours hazy golden yellow with decent foam and plenty of lacing. Instant tropical citrus fruit with slight - very slight - hop bitterness. Very well done.

 

 

From the can, it pours a hazy light amber with a modest head, soon diminishing to a thin layer. Lacing. In the nose, it is citrus and malt. In the mouth, it is the same, pretty well balanced overall.

Pours a hazy blonde-gold hue with a frothy head into my glass. Mango, melon rind and passionfruit in the nose. Sweet melon upfront with mango and passionfruit towards the back of tongue. The perfect level of lingering bitterness. A tasty IA from River Roost.

 

 

Poured from a 16 oz can into a tumbler glass.

Pours a hazy yellow gold color with 2 fingers of sudsy eggshell white head. The head leaves a few random spots of lacing before settling into a thin sheet.

The aroma brings notes of honeydew melon and fresh cantaloupe, as well as some peach, grapefruit, pineapple, and blueberry. Grassy, with some faint lemon zest and sweet, biscuit malt.

The flavor brings notes of every melon ever, with plenty of peach, pineapple, grapefruit and orange. There's some lemon drop candy, grass, and doughy malt on the back end with an earthy and subtly piney finish.

The feel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very clean. Crisp and dry on the finish.

Overall, a great NEIPA that is exceptionally well-balanced and exploding with hoppy flavor. At 6.7% this one is drinkable as hell.
