Another drink from the back patio of Nick U's place. June 2019.

Pours that familiar yellow/golden color most of us tend to know as 'beer'. 1/3" white head on the top. Light haze to it. More akin to cloudiness. The commercial tug job boasts of all these stone, tropical and citrus fruits, but the old school grapefruit rind and lemon seem most prominent.

Taste, oh shit, this is the Sabro hop! Comes in perceived as higher than the ibu claim, but it takes a bit to adjust to this bitter green kind of hop burn. It isn't as pungent as some Sabro hopped beers I've had, but it brings it. Denali brings more bitterness as well. Mouth feel seems quite different from a juicy or hazy ipa. I still liked the beer, but it seemed like everything they bragged on the can was a bit suspect truthwise. This was relatively older school grapefruit rind bitterness talked about as if it was something else

I'm a little skeptical of $4 cans of no sticker beer that really doesn't elevate to the top tier. Just not a price point that works for me, especially when I don't get a sticker. You know, the important stuff.

16oz, canned on 06-05-2020
L: slight haze to a golden colored ale; tall foamy off-white head holds incredible retention
S: juicy pineapple, peach, passion fruit, citrus
T: great juicy hop flavors: pineapple, grapefruit, passion fruit, peach, apricot, honey, pale malt
F: fuller body, moderate carbonation, dry and resinous finish
O: another great beer from Third Space!

Had this on tap at the brewery. This one leans towards the west coast style as opposed to a hazy. It does do a nice job of balancing out the hops and the malt. It has pineapple and berry up front with some bitterness at the end.

Had on tap and enjoyed it. Plenty of flavor for an IPA, but don't go in expecting a hazy or NEIPA. It is more in line with something like the older citra IPAs, with a different flavor combination. Has some maltiness and medium body to work with the hops.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on August 21, 2018. Brewed with an awesome new and extremely limited experimental hop. Dream is super peachy with flavors of pineapple, passion fruit and berry. A slightly hazy complexion, mild bitterness, soft mouthfeel, and juicy hop flavors.

Poured from the tap into a pint glass at Doc's Commerce in Milwaukee. The appearance is a cloudy orange color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is full of tropical fruit and hops. The taste follows the nose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A good solid IPA from Third Space. More West Coast than NEIPA. 16 oz. can says it's 50 IBU's, but I suspect it's more like 75 - 80. Lingering bitterness is quite noticeable, but not unpleasant. Though at $15 a 4pk right from the brewery, overpriced. Nicely balanced overall, well done.
