Sticky Juice
Barn Town Brewing

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing on the glass. It smelled of orange, grapefruit, pineapple, sweet caramel and resin. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp, piney bitterness.

 

Poured a hazy slightly copper-tinted orange body with one-finger head that left a little lace ring. There is a pronounced hops smell but it is subtle and underneath the strong malt aroma. Beer is medium to heavy bodied that is slightly sticky with a strong malt taste like toffee along with a somewhat lemon-tinted citric hoppiness and good balance. A slightly dry earthiness in the finish helps out beer and overall a solid beer.

 

 

Opaque bright golden orange liquid with fair head retention. Head volume and retention is only thing this one lacked, though I do prefer my beers slightly less murky. Smell is bright and fruity, slight dank notes too. Flavor is fruity and sweet, but not cloyingly so, as some from BT can be. Mouthfeel is pleasantly bitter with some nice piney edges. Warmth does creep in later on, which I could do without, but it’s expected with an 8% beer. This one puts it all together into a cohesive very drinkable NEDIPA. Just a shade less than perfection in all categories.

 

 

 

 

 

Cloudy hazy orange appearance. Smells of oranges and ripe tropical fruits. Carries over to the flavor. Citra and Mosiac hops are my favorites so this was an easy sell for me. Creamy mouthfeel and moderate bitterness.

 

L: dark hazy tangerine. Mild carbonation from the bottom. Fluffy off white head that reduces to a finger and stays.

S: strong tangerine and melon smell.

T: follows nose. The citra is nice and crisp.

F: smooth and creamy. Doesn’t have a big bitter bite at the end.

O: solid beer. Definitely recommend.
