Graze
Fox Farm Brewery

 

Another gem by the brewery in CT. Graze is a delicious IPA that has a nice balance between earthy tones and the fruity tropical flavors you expect from NE breweries. A little thinner than I enjoy is my only minute complaint. Well done

Pours hazy,orange gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is orange juice and wet hops. Medium body, bitter with moderate carbonation. Makes for an above average ipa.

Canned 08/19/20

Pours an opaque orange with an inch of rocky head. Aroma is wonderful - rich and complex mango and orange. Taste follows the nose and has some earth and very light bitterness on the finish. Very good balance. Light-medium mouthfeel. Overall, top notch.

 

Pours a matte orange-yellow color with a huge pillowy white head. Head collapses pretty steadily leaving just a thin layer of residual foam.

Aroma has a lot of bright hops that bring notes of peach, cantaloupe, mango and some light lemongrass notes.

Taste follows the nose with light notes of peach and cantaloupe with bitter flavors coming through from the middle through to the finish that take on a grassy character with some citrus rind. Th malt backbone is very plain - with a cracker malt character to it, but its actually prominent in the overall flavor profile.

Feel is light, with a medium body that kind of coats the mouth. Semi-dry finish. Moderate carbonation.

Overall its a nice NEIPA.

Lush golden yellow. I happened to pour this in the sun and it glows. Minimal head but nice bubbly lacing. Really pleasant, hoppy aroma that smells of citrus and fruit. Taste is crisp and less juicy than I was expecting, but still good. Feel is a little thin.

 

Appearance: Pours a fairly hazy honey color with a one finger head; spots and a few strands of lacing; good retention

Smell: Papaya, lychee, pineapple and peach tones

Taste: Papaya and lychee forward with subtle tones of pineapple and peach developing; a little sugar cookie underneath; limited bitterness through the middle with a minty finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A very pleasing NE IPA with a lot of subtle flavor

Thanks, devoured by vermin, for the opportunity

 

 

 

16oz. can served in a tulip nonic. Pours a dull, burnished orange with a hazy clarity and a tight, 1/8th inch, off-white head. Head eventually disperse into a broken, oily slick. Nose expresses tangerines, followed by pith. Taste consistent with nose; however, a bit more muted with a crackery malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body with a mild acidity and a carbonation shy of assertive. Overall, not the juiciest NIEPA out there but well-crafted and drinkable.
