Flying Nimbus
Peabody Heights Brewery

 

Canned less htan a week ago, pours a brighty cheery pale gold reminscent of the clouds on snake way. Mouthfeel is strong, a bit heavy, like it trained in weighted clothing. Tastes of fresh orange and ensenji

 

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Soapy retention head of a good solid three finger height, but with little retention and a good bath-bubble-foam like appearance. Body color is slightly hazy, not turbid, opaque with a good light lemon and orange glow.

Stinky hop nose. Lots of aromatics of earthy dank and sweetness. Hits with a real semi-sweet pungency of earth and maybe a touch of pineapple like tropical notes. Hits a little sticky honey interestingly and a touch of sweet syrup also. Very interesting aroma.

Palate seems to take a similar vein, but with some limitations. Slightly wet bodied with a bit of weak grain bill hinting on the palate. Light hop action of slight tropical and mango like flavor that has a bit of a flour like taste to it. Slightly chalky finish and edge that is a little jarring but not horrible. Some pleasant hop fruit character.

Passable new age hazy IPA but not a great one.
