Arc Of Petals

An episode that started by emptying the entire contents of a pint can into a clear glass liter mug. Although chilled, the pour produced an unreasonable amount of stark white foam which quickly began to recede unevenly and unattractively. The liquid beneath isn't all that pretty, neither. It's cloudy and dull yellow-amber. The aroma begins to redeem things, as it's sharply hopped with a nice blend of citrus and pine references. Unfortunately, that's about all there is to taste. Whatever starches are used for this backbone, it certainly isn't barley malt, provide only shallow sweetness and very little body. A nice blend of hops can only take a beer so far. To taste, the citrus character overtakes the pine. Completely lacking is any layered depth, taste transitions, nor malt balance. It's a one note performance, not that it's a badly played note, but good IPAs, even American hazies, bring more appreciable complexity. The foam didn't last long and the lacing was erratic and scant. This goes down hill after the first whiff.

 

 

This one is ok but comes in a bit modest. Decent hazy favor but just not enough to come back to this one again.
