Old Irving Brewing Co.

Got in a BIF from FBarber. 16 ounce can into IPA glass, no can dating. Pours turbid/murky orange amber color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick flamy lacing on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas and flavors of big red grapefruit, orange juice, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-medium pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium-plus carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy/silky/grainy malts, some sticky hops, and light resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Lingering resin dryness, with no cloying/astringent flavors. Very soft finish with no lasting hop oils after the finish. Mild warmth of 10.5% and lingering hop burn. Seeing as "Incognito/Spectrum" are both hop extracts, it may be safe to assume this is all Citra/Mosaic hops. Super juicy and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a sizable pillowy malt backbone, and rather clean finish with no lingering sweetness. Loved it.

 

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Pours a cloudy golden-auburn topped by a finger of light cream foam. The nose comprises pineapple pith, orange zest, light grapefruit peel, light cracker, a hint of cracked wheat, and a slight squeeze of mango. The taste brings in more of the same, the fruits appearing more as their innards than their rinds, and a bit of pine sap pervading the background for good measure. The body is a lithe medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda drying finish. A very tasty, highly drinkable TIPA.
