The Shining
Foam Brewers

16oz can dated 2/9/23.

Pours cloudy gold with an inch-plus head of white. Moderate retention and lacing. Melon, pineapple skin, unripe peach in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Ripe tropicals on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Honeydew, tangerine, pineapple. Finishes juicy and fairly.

 

Canned on 02/09/23. Poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.

A: Hazy lemonade yellow with 1-finger white foamy head with average retention and a solid ring of lacing.

S: Green fruit (lime, honeydew), herbal-lemongrass, sweaty dank with low esters.

T: Sweet profile overall with more pineapple, honeydew melon, and the same lemongrass herbal note as in the aroma in the finish. Low esters and low-medium bitterness.

M: High carbonation for the style with medium body and crisper finish than most NEIPAs.

O: Good NEIPA but nothing special. Good pick for those that like the sweeter version of this style.

 

 

 

 

A - Pours a hazy yellow with a one finger white head. Light soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is tanger, orange rind, grapefruit and candied lemon.

T - The taste is orange, pineapple, grapefruit, white grapes and a piney finish.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Prickly mouthfeel with a big crisp finish.

O - Solid. Interesting flavor profile. A little bit more over carbed than I like for an ipa.

 

 

Good IPA but too sweet

 

 

 

Consumed 11/20/21

Pale yellow, hazy in a milky way, medium to low carbonation
Some citrus, with orange pith, tangerine, grapefruit, ruby red grapefruit, lemon, herbal hops, slightly dank, slightly earthy, a touch woodsy, hint of pine, muted tropical notes, some mango, melon, pineapple, mango, white grapes, some prickly, fruit-like acidity, medium level of bitterness, very pale/nonexistent malt base
On the light side of medium, smooth and slick without being chewy, medium carbonation

The Shinning? This is an interesting IPA from Foam in the sense that it tastes slightly different than their typical creamsicle flavor profile. There is a wide variety of fruit, and this is very drinkable, but it something about it tastes mildly incoherent.

 

 

 

ONE PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass

This beer pours a bright, turbid, yellow hue. It is topped with a mountain of off white head that leaves decent lacing.

CItrus and tropical fruit on the nose. It has a sweet aroma.

Sweet taste with citrus and tropical fruit. Pedestrian

 

4/1 canning:
Pale white-yellow hazy beer with a deeent head and some lacing. Nose took time to develop, but malt and slightly dank notes bounce back and forth. There’s a light hint of citrus, which takes a few sips to bring out a little more.

Taste itself started a little neutral with a light but long pine-leaning ending. The flavors opened fairly well with warmth relative to the nose. Citrus with a mix of orange and tangerine came to me floating along a smooth, near silky yet thicker mouthfeel. As the flavors came out up front, the pine started to fade from the back. This led to a more consistent profile throughout, though I’d have rather had the dichotomy.

 

 

 

$18 4-pack at Healthy Living. Pours hazy lemonade-yellow with a foamy white head that leaves nice rings of lace. Tropical fruit dominate the nose and combine with a healthy dose of grapefruit in the taste. Medium- bodied with low carbonation. Overall, a very nice DIPA from Foam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 oz. can.
Canned 04/30/20.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a cloudy, light golden body with some sticky lacing. Nose of earthy pine and citrus, with solid amount of dankness. Taste follows closely with bitter citrus pith and a slight earthy and piney dankness. Nice feel and overall, another one right up the hazybois' alley.
Cheers!!

 

 

 

 

Had on tap. Bright hazy yellow with a white cap. Smell hits hard with sweet pineapple, mango, lemon, melon and decent dank hops. Taste is more uniform behind the malty and sweet pineapple, lemon, and mango, with some lingering hops. I know the feel is supposed to be smoothie-like, and though it is creamy I wanted more viscosity to fit the vision. Plenty bright, medium bodied.
