Year One
Charles Towne Fermentory

 

 

Pours a hazy, bright orange coloration with a medium, fizzy head that recedes quickly. Smells wonderfully of citrus and tropical fruit: grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit, guava. Taste is dank hops with a tiny hint of biscuity malt and big tropical fruit notes, supplemented by citrus fruit and a hint of pine. Grapefruit and pineapple are most noticeable, with notes of guava and lime. Finishes quite bittersweet in a really nice way. The tropical sweetness hits you first, turning quite bitter in the aftertaste. Smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel, with medium carbonation. Great NEIPA that is a bit danker and more resinous than most, with a nice, bitter kick.

 

Received as an extra, was very surprised by this one. Very solid NE IPA style offering. Pours a very yellow color. Aroma is beautiful dry hoppy goodness. The body is super thick and creamy, the taste is sweet and booming with more hoppy goodness. Overall Low malt, Low bitterness. Only complaints is that as it warms, it becomes very sweet and a touch artificial tasting, but not in an offputing way.

 

 

These guys are gonna break out soon- this was an excellent beer.

This one pours a hazy glowing orange, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells incredibly citrusy, with a good dosing of orange and pineapple, some light grassiness, and grapefruit.

This is absolutely killer for my tastebuds. It presents a well done balance of sweet citrus and bitter hop back. There's a nice herbal grassiness, with tons of sweet tangerine, orange, pineapple, and a hint of grapefruit. This sort of thing has been done before, obviously, but it's still nice to see it done this well.

This is creamy, and rich, with a good level of drinkability and a normal level of carbonation.

This absolutely makes me feel like the mayor of Yum City. It's really good stuff.
