Fresh Powder
Mast Landing Brewing Company

 

 

 

Can into IPA glass
Look: Super hazy, orange-yellow, pouring a fluffy 1 finger head. Slowly dissipated into a thin cap. Great lacing
Smell: Earthy citrus. Orange, guava, touch sweet. Some light biscuity malt in there. Dried hay. Medium strength nose
Taste: Similar to how it smells. I got the orange and guava upfront, lightly sweet. Citrusy and earthy hops, with a light bitterness. Hay, biscuity malt and some citrus carries through the finish
Feel: med-light body, moderate carbonation, crisp, and slightly dry finish
Overall: Good brew. Would definitely drink again

 

 

 

a: bright burnt matte orange color with some definite dark yellow notes. 1/2 finger creamy frothy white head

s: loads of earthy citrus in this one. tangy orange, mango sorbet, and pineapple juice. guava and nectarine follow with a bit of sugar sweetness. lots of kiwi and a hint of sweet melon. just a faint chalky note too along with some crusty bread

t: kinda follows the nose. mango sorbet and nectarine hit you up front followed by sweet orange juice and clementines. mango sorbet and creamsicle behind that. a touch of that chalky citrus hoppy flavor and some very faint sweet bread

m: medium, slightly fluffy mouthfeel with uncharacteristically high carbonation for the style

o: very pleasant beer to drink. on the sweeter/earthier citrusy side, but dialed right in for the abv range. this would, in fact, be very enjoyable after a day of snowboarding fresh powder. my only knock is the strong carbonation for the style. i don't think it hurts it, but it isn't on-style

 

 

A: Pours a hazy, golden yellow body with a thick white head with pretty solid retention and lacing.
S: sweet, citrus riney smell with some subtle, piney notes
T: Sweet, earthy citrus rine notes with hints of earthiness and subtle floral notes. Hints of sweet alcohol in the back of the palette.
M: medium bodied and pretty smooth.
O. Nice feel and taste combo; pretty solid NEIPA.

 

 

From a 16 oz. can dated 12/30/21. Sampled Feb 4, 2022.

Hazy yellow-orange color under a foamy cream colored head that lingers.

Aroma of pineapple, fruit, citrus, and a low profile breadiness.

Smooth medium mouthfeel.

The taste is sweet and then very citrusy and fruity. This is about what you expevct5 from the style and I have little else to say about it.

Canned 12/30/21

A: Pours a hazy yellow color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap that leaves decent lacing

S: Lots of berry and fruit up front along with some lighter citrus and pine. Some very light floral notes as well

T: Follows the nose. Starts off with the berry notes and then picks up the citrus, some tropical fruit, and floral notes. Pine come through slightly. Lightly bitter. Finishes with lingering berry and tropical fruit notes

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Soft and slightly thin

O: A solid seasonal NE IPA that is very easy to drink. Definitely an interesting hop combo, especially for an NE style. Worth a drink

 

Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass canned on 2/15/2021. Pours a hazy orange with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.25

Aroma boysenberry, peach, passionfruit, tangerine, and lemon rind. 4

Taste follows boysenberry, passionfruit, tangerine, peach, and a hint of lemon drop in the interesting finish. 4.25

Mouthfeel is medium, soft gentle carbonation, not dry or sticky, and at 7.5% it goes down rather easy. 4

Overall this is a very interesting NEIPA, very curious what hop combination brings out these flavors. Would recommend. 4

7.5%abv. on bottom of can.

Classic New England style thick and hazy

Very fresh hop scented aroma. Crushed up hop cones and sticky lupulin powder. Very sweet and tropical fruitiness. Strawberries and cream and boozy pineapple. Exceptional nose.

Crisp bite turns into a pillowy, smooth mouthfeel that is on the high end of the style.

Super complex hop flavor's blowing up! A mix of tropical sweet fruits and earthy based stone fruit, sour mango and dried pineapple chunks. The golden creamy malted grains are at peak levels as well.

Pacific sunrise, HBC630 and Simcoe hop collective is unique and wide ranging flavors.

Mast Landing has been super impressive throughout their NE line.
