Running Man Fever
Kings County Brewers Collective (KCBC)

 

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

This smells like pineapple, orange, mango, and grapefruit.

This is another solid can from these guys. It's once again got a very nice balance of bitterness and juice, with a soft piney and floral bitterness, along with all the fruits mentioned above.

This is light bodied, juicy, and creamy, and with a crisp and drinkable finish to it.

I might burn myself out with all the hoppy beers I've been drinking lately, but for now, I'm enjoying it.

16oz can dated 11/16/20.

Pours cloudy yellow with persistent retention and plenty of lacing. Pear juice with melons and pineapple in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Mango, peach, and pear on the palate. Finishes juicy and tropical with minimal bitterness or malt.

 

Pours a hazy orange color. A quick pour produced a ginormous foam that retains well and yields thick lacing.

Pleasant aromas of citrus and tropical fruit including pineapple, mango, passion fruit, grapefruit and orange. There is a hint of pine and grassy, herbal hops.

Opens sweetly with creamy cracker malts supporting juicy and fruity hops. Tropical flavors of pineapple and passion fruit are accompanied by bright notes of grapefruit, lemon and lime. Lightly spicy notes of pine begin to develop, as does a minimal bitterness. The finish is dry, piney and with a lightly resinous bitterness.

Medium bodied and mostly smooth. The mouthfeel is frothy and creamy but not overdone, as a moderate to gentle carbonation provides some crispness.

I enjoyed this although it is not my favorite KCBC beer. Nevertheless, as usual they have produced a solid and well crafted IPA.

 

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is cloudy light yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high bright white head that left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of tropical fruits are present in the nose—pineapples stand out in particular.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of pineapples along with notes of passionfruit, with some hints of pine noticeable in the finish. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little "juicy" on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I would have expected this beer to be a little "juicier" on the mouthfeel given its cloudy and unfiltered appearance, but like other New England-style IPAs it was packed with lots of aromas and flavors from the hops.
