Love Goliath
Arkane Aleworks

From a 16oz can, undated. Purchased at the brewery 03/07/24. Served in a willi becher pub glass.

Pours a cloudy orange juice-gold with two fingers of soft, soapy suds. Retention is very good, leaving a thick, creamy cap and a solid blanket of gobby lacing.

Nose is non-descriptly, palely fruit salady: melon and orange, I guess but, honestly, I’m having to work at it (tbf, allergies).

Taste is dry and biscuity with underripe, rindy fruitiness. Tasting baking soda biscuit, honeydew melon, guava, kiwi? woody, underripe pineapple and aspirin.

Feel is dry and gritty, medium bodied? maybe feeling a bit heftier what with the moderately gentle carbonation- enough to get the job done but no more. A gritty, astringent finish.

Nice. Not too sweet nor heavy. Easy drinking with no sense of booziness in the taste or the mouthfeel.

Very nice re-release of this hazy collab from a couple years ago. Looks like your typical hazy, but the use of three of my favorite aromatic and delicious hops makes for a tasty winner!

 

Poured a cloudy yellow body with minimal head and lace sheath down glass. The beer has an aroma that is somewhat like pineapple juice and a touch of guava. Very smooth, medium body, has notes of pineapple and something like guava and mango along with minimal citric bitterness and overall a good finish.
