Cryo Mack'n On Your Haze
Mirror Twin Brewing

Pours super hazy, orange, in color. Tiny white head. Nose is almost like peach or mango. Taste and feel is both soft and juicy with a slide citrus across the palate. Nice slight bitterness as well.

Steamrolling over the tracks of hops even more than ever, the haze train of Mirror Twin's next stop in in the colder corners of the galaxy, ...Cryo Galaxy and Citra hops, that is. From New England in mindset but departing from Kentucky, the beer exhibits all the glory of these sexy hops but layers it on a bed of creaminess, juiciness and smoothness.

Turbidly golden and cast in a deep and foggy gaze, Cryo Mack'n On Your Haze carries a bright, herbal and fruity fragrance across a light and creamy froth. Hints of herbal grasses, tropical fruit and citrus tease the senses before a taste of honey, pastry, angel food cake and light bread coat the early palate.

Smooth, creamy and relaxing with its malt and cereal sweetness, the beer soon lets its Galaxy and Citra flavors shine. Bold tangerine, red grapefruit, clementine and a hint of lemon greet the middle palate before trending tropical with passionfruit, mango, whtie grape and papaya. A soft botanical bitterness offers to keep the finish crisp and refreshing although its lingering malt suggests something tangy and succulent in the fruity sherbet-like realm.

Medium bodied but seeming fuller early in the session, the beer's light carbonation allows the malt sweetness and starchiness to press firmly on the tastebuds, saturating with taste but limiting the beer's zeal and dryness. But its juicy melon-like consistency keeps a high degree of culinary art and balance paramount. (Rest in peace Jeremy Mack, I'll always remember you.)
