Third Space Brewing

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of floral and citrus hops. Tastes of citrus and floral hops with just a hint of sweet grain. Beer is medium to full bodied, good carbonation and fairly easy drinking. Overall, a very good beer.

16oz can. Slightly hazed amber colored DIPA with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is sweet caramely malt with earthy pine and citrus. Nice meld of flavors: light caramely grain, mango, citrus, and pine. Full body, ample carbonation, nice balance, alcohol is warming but not hot. As expected from Third Space, this was another enjoyable beer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canned on 10/31/18. Clear, light gold appearance with a two finger white head. Smells of grainy alcohol, dank grass, pine and grapefruit. Reticent nose when cold, more expressive as it warms. Taste is similar with bready malt, earthy pine, pithy orange rind and grapefruit all making themselves known. Finishes with good lingering bitterness. Feel is moderate to moderate/heavy. If you're looking for a trendy, NEIPA style DIPA go elsewhere. But if a throwback beer that is well made and great tasting is of interest, then search this beer out.

 

 

Poured 16oz can into snifter. Canned about a month ago. Light clear apricot color with a big 2.5 finger white head. Excellent retention and plenty of lacing coat the glass. It is a hoppy delight of tropical and citrus fruit. Pineapple and grapefruit seem to be the dominant notes. Lighter malts provide a bit of sweet floral honey aroma. Plenty of hops with flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, orange, and other citrus notes. Sweet malts come in the middle and give it the flavor some balance. Finish has a nice bitter punch. Full to medium body with a slick oily feel. Carbonation is fantastic. Yes, this is a fantastic IIPA that is more like a classic East Coast style.

L – Four finger head of white frothy foam, head held up very well, good lace, light amber color, light carbonation, had a bottled on date.
S – Very nice citrusy aroma with some other floral notes in it.
T – The hop bitterness really hits from the first sip, the citrus is still there but not nearly as strong as what I would have expected given the smell.
F – The mouthfeel does have some substance to it in line with other DIPA’s.
D – Given the combination of excellent characteristics, this is a very drinkable beer especially considering it is a DIPA. This one will be a regular resident of my beer fridge.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 1 pint can on December 3, 2017. Look is light amber with a thick creamy head and sticky lacing. Smell is floral. Taste is berry and tropical fruit. Feel is creamy and smooth.

Subtle hop taste but smooth with a blue cheese taste that is fantastic. I'm not a blue cheese fan, so don't let it deter you. Best brewery in MKE does it again. Great beer. Almost sessionable.
