Triple IPA
Wild Mind Ales

 

At the tap room into a teku, pours a glowing rich apricot with a nice 1 finger head and good lacing and retention. Good nose but not as big as I expected -- papaya, blood orange, melon, together with just a little baked bread...all of which carries through to taste, with the papaya and passion fruit kind of dominating, though there's a little pine and resinous bite at the end that I don't get on the nose. Body is middling, as is carbonation, though the feel is fairly lively and crisp. Abv is very well hidden.

Had this on tap at the Taproom in a Teku glass.

A: Pours a hazy, golden-orange in color with a 1/2 inch, foamy, paper white head with short retention. Thick, billowy white lacing throughout.

S: Aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with milder notes of piney, earthy hops. Notes of orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, and papaya.

T: Starts off with big notes of grapefruit and orange rind followed by a very mild sweetness of tropical fruit blends. Ends with a fairly strong lingering piney, resinous hop bitterness.

F: Medium bodied, smooth, and very crisp with moderate carbonation. Fairy dry.

O: Overall, this is a good TIPA. The hop blend is definitely the showcase here. ABV is present, but not overly so. Decent brew, I'd give it another try.

 

Served in WM Teku. Pours a burnt orange color and very hazy with a white 1 finger head looks great. Tropical notes of mango,papaya, white fruit and oats. Taste was nice topical hops like the nose very little ABV noticeable, dry taste with very small amounts of malts. Mouth feel hoppy and dry Again ABV is no where in sight , delicious and hazy fruity and hoppy , highly recommended 2IPA
