All Together
Thin Man Brewery

Why not pour a pint can into a clear glass liter mug and see what happens? Wow! This stuff has almost the same color as grapefruit juice, maybe a little more orange and yellow. It certainly is much more dense. Nice white head and some lacing as the head ebbs. Maybe it's the color, because it even smells like there's grapefruit in there. Of course, there's more for the nose, including yeast, hops and starches. The taste is citrusly tart and dry in a dry hopped way. This is not nearly as soft to the tongue as expected, despite a notable body. The style listed on the can is IPA, from which more maltiness is expected. The tart and bitterness make a great cover for the 6.5% ABV, but a good IPA shouldn't make your mouth pucker. All Together probably would score a little high in a different category.

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

This smells like marijuana and weedy hops, honey, melon, lemon, lime, and grapefruit.

Despite the appearance of a heavily hazy/milky/juicy IPA, this has some solid and firm bitterness to it that I can really appreciate it. There's some melon and grapefruit, with a touch of pineapple/mango sweetness. That extra bitterness compared to most NE-style IPAs keeps me coming back for more here.

This is light bodied, clean, and very drinkable, with a pleasant lingering bitterness on the palate.

I honestly haven't had many of the All Together takes yet, but this is a really solid beer, even outside of the great cause it represents.

 

This was the twenty-second (and probably last) iteration of All Together that I was able to obtain I picked this up yesterday at Cable Beverages in New York. It was my first time there and in addition, this was the first beer that I ever had from Thin Man. Although it wasn't as good as it's rating led me to believe, this was an enjoyable take that was quite turbid and tropical as it felt a bit heavier and danker than most of the others that I've had so far!

Like the others, this beer was golden, cloudy, and topped off with a moderate and slow-settling head. Not a lot of lacing was left behind as there was a thin layer of bubbles near the top with a few bits scattered below that. Lots of oats, melon, honeydew, and lime pith in the nose as the taste was quite similar and worth taking in small doses as it was a bit astringent. Somewhat dank and moderately slick, this was also nicely balanced and has just enough carbonation to be on par with everything else that was going on.

The booze was perfect as this was dated 6/10 on the bottom of the can with nothing else written above or below it. The aftertaste was a bit dry, like white cheese, with just a bit too much hop burn down my throat lingering after I finished this off. This was a beer that had a lot of potential but seemed to come up a bit short, although it was tasty and more than enough for this quiet summer night. I may end up seeking out the collaboration they did with Interboro!

Look: Cloudy light orange, with fluffy white foam.
Smell: Orange peel and lemon.
Taste: A slight taste of passion fruit and orange peel. Nectarines and some sweet malt in the background.
Feel: Medium bodied.
Overall: Easy to drink and very flavorful. A good beer.

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left some specks of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of honeydew melon, gooseberries, and lime citrus are present in the nose.
T: From the initial sip through the finish, the taste has flavors of gooseberries along with underlying notes of melons and hints of lime. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I particularly enjoyed the combination of gooseberries and melon in the smell and taste of this New England-style IPA.

Serving type: can
