Pours a liquidy liquid. Orange ish. Tasty. It’s a beer that does what you’d expect for 12.99 at the bodega. Cheers

 

Drinking out of a small snifter.
Pours a moderately hazy medium orange with a nice head.
Smells strongly of tropical fruit.
Good mouth feel. Thick.
Tastes of tropical fruit - oranges -
But taste is somewhat muted.
No bitterness. No evidence of malt.

 

Can purchased at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a very hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This has a classic NE-style IPA aroma, with sweet grapefruit and candied orange – it’s quite tropical and juicy.

This is a very competent take on a style that has been done approximately a trillion times at this point – it’s nothing that’s going to tell you anything new about the style, but it’s very well done, and you’re going to enjoy it.

This is well balanced, not too sweet, with just a little bit of bitterness. It’s very drinkable.

I kind of forget about this brewery, they’ve always been pretty solid.

 

Citrusy flavor seems like it’s drawn from tangerine and grapefruit, and it’s not nearly as bitter as I might have feared, given that it’s a DIPA. The fragrance is almost nonexistent, which is kind of a letdown. Regardless, this is a nice drink!

 

Poured into a rocks glass: color is hazy gold, fairly dense looking, head is brighter white with fine to small bubbles and presents one finger thick, head lingers well.

Smell is very light on initial pour - but some tangerine and citrus pith are present.

Taste is lighter on the tangerine with more neutral citrus and grapefruit, backing malt is light cracker and honey, candied notes come through with warmth.

Mouthfeel is lower carbonation, moderate sweetness, low/moderate bitterness; abv is hidden well.

Overall a bright, citrusy DHIPA - but not standing out amongst the other haze.

 

16oz can at Hops & Bottles.. hazy orange golden pour, creamy white head. Aroma is citrusy with some light tropical notes. Taste is hoppy, fruity, citrusy then tropical, juicy elements, kind of a thick feel, hence the name.

 

16oz can at Cooper's Landing. Poured a cloudy, hazy, golden orange color with a good sized, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of orange peel, grapefruit, guava and caramel. Sweet fruity taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

 

 

 

Dank and delicious with heavy grapefruit flavors accompanied by peach and kiwi. Bitterness is somewhat assertive. Borderline very good hazy double

Aroma is sweet citrus/fruit and a hint of spicy hops. The flavor is citrus/fruit, slightly bready malts and a mildly sweet/spicy/grapefruit hop finish.
