Foam Brewers IPA-Imperial / Double New...

Thick, slick, and dense fruity hops. You know the sweet syrup in canned peaches?? This is the beer equivalent to that! Extra smooth, syrupy liquid feel. Mango puree, canned peach syrup and peppery pineapple chunks I'm the hop taste. Dense but a bit heavy.

Purchased at Allen Brothers Farm >

 

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about eighteen dollars. My fifth brew reviewed from these guys. Canned on date of 4/15/23. Just ok for me.

This was the last beer that my friend got me on his run up Vermont recently and it was on par with what I've come to expect from them. Easygoing, nicely balanced, and plenty juicy, this went down easily as it was the quintessential New England IPA that one would expect to buy in the Green Mountain State!

Not surprisingly, this had a hazy, muted golden hue to it that was uniform in clarity and silently radiant as the head that topped it off was plenty voluminous and long-lasting. The same couldn't be said for the lacing as that was quite sparse aside from a bubbly ring just above the middle of my pint glass. Tons of mango, gooseberry, dank hops, ,and a bit of melon, white grape, and papaya in the nose as the taste was equally dank, tropical, and slick. Plenty of pith in the taste as there was a good amount of nectar as the booze was spot-on in complementing those. Some bread and sweetness in the body rounded this out as the carbonation was present, but not strong, as the back was full of tangerine and bright stone fruit. There was no doubt that the Denali dominated here but that and the Citra worked beautifully together with the end result being a beer that was familiar up front but quite complex once I worked my way through it.

This was plenty strong, although it never felt it, as it would have been easy to open up another can had there been on here. Dated 11/3 with 'YOU CAN DO IT" written below it on the bottom of the can, this was a solid beer that would offend no one and turn quite a few people on to Foam at the same time. The artwork's nice but once again, the brew on the inside was equally as colorful and fun as this has me contemplating a run up to Vermont sometime next year...
