Appearance - pours hazy orange with big fluffy white head that settles to a thin cap. lost of spotty lacing around the glass.

Aroma - Lots of tangerine sweetness, orange, i am getting a big vanilla bean aroma as well. Just a hint of booziness.

Taste - Big juicy tangerine, and citrus peel, grapefruit. i still taste a little vanilla but no where near what I picked up on the nose. Finishes with a light pine and bitterness.

Feel - Medium bodied slight creamy feel slightly dry finish.

Overall - Really great tropical flavors with out being too sweet, light bitterness.

L - 1.5 finger bright white, foamy head atop a translucent orange body.

S - tons of tangerine, pineapple, and grapefruit.

T - follows the nose. Tropical fruit all over. Smooth middle, with a piney finish. Moderate-low bitterness. Low sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and carb.

O - such a good showcase for tangerine hop flavors.

 

16 FL OZ can
Served in a Michigan Wolverines pint glass

This beer pours like pineapple juice. It is yellow and turbid. It is topped with an inch of tan head that coats the sides of the glass as I consume.

The smell is citrus and tropical fruit.

The taste is grapefruit and citrus with hints of tropical fruit. There is grapefruit and light pine in the finish.

Medium bodied with a goodly some of carbonation.

This is a solid IPA. It is not the best that HOMES has, but I am not upset that I am drinking it.

on tap at the source. a bit odd tropical and hops taste combo. its ok drinkability and ok for the style, but nothing to seek out, rather plain really.

a big double dry hopped ipa with cryo simcoe and el dorado hops. really pale and soft looking, pretty for this style. there really are pretty ones and ugly ones in the hazy ipa world, and this is pretty for sure. the head is lasting, the haze is uniform and mellow, and there is a glow to the beer. it smells great, and the flavor is just as bold. not sure i have seen cryo simcoe before, but the whole cryo hop thing is awesome, i think it helps some of the dry hop aromatic come through in the taste of beers, at least that has been my experience with them so far, i think this is only the beginning of seeing their potential too. not sure why, but there is this nice concentrated hop character, fresh and almost candied, i get wet pine, lumber like i sometimes get from centennial, and a sweet orange thing from the el dorado, a nice combination of hops and an obvious freshness. the texture is smooth, not as heavy as it looks like it will be, maybe just some raw wheat or something in here, its cerealy and dry, but it could use a little more carbonation, which was the case with several of the beers in here. they are doing some really solid hazy ipa types in here, and this was one of their best. more drinkable than most and really unique with the hop combination!

 

 

A - Pours a turbid orange with a one finger creamy white head. Tons of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is orange, grapefruit and floral hops.

T - The taste follws the aroma. Orange, grapefruit rind and strong piney hops.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft finish.

O - Pretty solid ipa. The hops leave a lasting bitterness on the finish that pair nicely with the citrus.
