Lazer Light Show
HOMES Brewery

 

Part of the self guided tour 08/02/2023

 

Can pour from the 2022 batch -- slightly deeper in color than a glass of orange juice. Nose is big and tropical, flavors are intense without overdoing it, body is rich and deep, finish is really clean. Comes across more like a triple than a double.

Small snifter on tap at the brewery's biergarten in Ann Arbor Michigan.

Appearance. Hazy straw colored body with a good white head.

This is a particularly fruity DIPA with abundant tropical fruit notes in both the aroma and the flavor. Low bitterness for the style.

Fresh can courtesy of BigTimeADL.
Look: orange juice. Fluffy head.
Smell: orange-mango, whiff of pine.
Taste: Same as smell really. +cantaloupe. A little resiny finish.
Mouthfeel: really juicy, almost too much. Not much booze appearance.
Overall: in between a really good and fantastic hazy. At first I thought monkish brewing, but maybe not quite in that realm.

 

 

 

16 FL OZ can
Served in a Michigan Wolverines oversized wine glass

This beer is turbid and pours like pineapple juice. It is yellow is color and topped with an inch of tan head that leaves little lacing.

The smell is loaded with tropical fruit and even a little dankness.

Tropical fruit explodes on my palate. This is a flavor bomb of juicy goodness. There is some dankness in the finish.

Medium to full bodied with a slightly chalky mouthfeel

HOMES continues to impress. The DIPAs have been especially great. This beer is no exception. HOMES is just another reason for me to go to Ann Arbor as much as possible.

 

Thanks to FlintB for this16 oz. can that arrived as an extra in a recent trade. Interesting can, with the name tiny & the art dominant. My first beer from this brewery.

The pour is…what is that? It’s either banana slurry (complete with peel) or Chernobyl run-off. Either way it’s yellow, & more opaque & thick than that color ought to be. Smells like a sweet citrus popsicle that’s been rubbed against the Christmas tree. Also different.

Lazer Light Show might be the first piney NE IPA I’ve had. Pine, soft mineral water, scallions, & a light citrus merge like four pickups trying to occupy the same parking stall. Backed up by an unidentified but strong sweetness that drowns the gentle bitterness trying to break through. Thick. A 12 oz. can would have been just fine.

Really strange beer; not sure quite how to rate this, but I’m going to go with the operative words. Average. Just beer.

This one was a surprise to me.

Beer pours a thick, opaque orange-gold, with a pleasant white head. Nose has a bit of bitterness but smells floral and lovely. The taste is mildly piney, but quite juicy. I like that slight, dry bitterness. The beer is quite thick!

I hadn't heard a thing about HOMES Brewery - they are making excellent IPA!

 

 

 

 

 

Alright but much better DIPA'S out there. But I do taste flavors of cantaloupe, papaya, mango, pine, and citrus. Very smooth and very drinkable but not as dank as I'd like my DIPA to be.
