Batch 200 DIPA
Saco River Brewing

On tap in NoCo.

Cloudy yellow in the glass with moderate retention.
Fairly aromatic with a blend of juicy and piney hops.
Medium bodied at best with a soft-ish mouthfeel.
The hops and fruit on the palate while tasty enough, don't really pop and are a bit muted by todays standards for the style.
Finishes a bit limp with a fair amount of bitterness.

From the 16 oz. can dated 04/27/2021. Sampled May 29, 2021.

It is not super hazy but it does have a murky looking yellow pour under a modest, fading cream colored head.

The aroma expresses itself with citrus and pine characters for the most part. There is a mild cereal grain character underneath. It is what you might expect from this style. Nothing more and nothing less.

Smooth, medium mouthfeel.

The taste begins sweet but then the pine and citrus juices eke their way into the tasting experience and take it over. Ends clean. This is very much like all other IPAs in this style. If you love juicy IPAs you should like this

 

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 12/08/2020. Pours a very attractive hazy yellow with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves big thick streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4.5

Smell is papaya, tangerine, pineapple, peach, marijuana, and apricot. 4.25

Taste follows marijuana, papaya, mandarin, pineapple, peach, and apricot really Dank and tropical at the same time. 4.25

Mouthfeel is big, rather soft slightly sticky carbonation, and at 8% ABV it really goes down easy. 4.5

Overall another really nice NEDIPA from this brewery. I often purchase this brewery because I know they almost always deliver a high quality brew. 4.25
