Natural Juicy
Benchtop Brewing Company

 

Pours a hazy golden. White head that dissipates. Your standard hazy NEIPA. The aromatics are pretty impressive. I get pineapple, mango, guava, some fresh cut Florida oranges from from the Orange tree. It is delectable. Pineapple, tangerine, orange, guava. It is tropical and citrusy. What you would expect from this hop combo, but executed perfectly. Smooth without any of the bad characteristics the last couple yields of galaxy have brought forth. It doesn't have any cat pee from the Citra. It's a tropical citrus juice IPA and it's awesome. I'd rate it higher, but it's lacking in complexity. Not one note, but not evolving either.

L: Had this beer on-tap at Growlers to Go - Boulevard, poured into a pint glass. Had a bright yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Fantastic lacing.

S: A light and sweet aroma of citrus fruit, hops, malt, and tropical fruit.

T: Tasted of a decent amount of hops (a surprisingly subtle presence), a decent bit of tropical fruit (mango, in particular), light malt notes (mostly in the finish; barely a factor), and lots of citrus fruit (orange, especially). This is a light, fruity, and effervescent flavor. It's well-balanced and terribly focused.

F: An average amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Light- to medium-bodied.

O: A well made, easy to like DIPA. Worth a try.

 

 

I don't see a date on the can.

Appearance: The body of the beer is opaque and beige. It has a short white slowly fading head.

Aroma: The body is slightly catty with some garlic and a bit of a fruity scent that smells like pineapple. It is an odd but intoxicating aroma.

Taste: Up front, but at the back of the mouth, there is this ripe pineapple skin flavor. There is a bit of garlic an bay leaf with mango skin. The aftertaste has a sweet dried mango flavor mixed with mint. It's an odd combination of flavors but it's interesting.

Mouthfeel: It's slightly bitter. It has a medium-light body with just a bit of texture.

Overall: The pineapple skin flavor is nice and refreshing but the overall flavor profile is a bit odd. I could drink it every now and then but it's not a beer I would pick up regularly.

Aroma is great, but the alcohol isn't hidden as well as I expected, and the abv is actually lower than I thought after tasting. Well done but not my favorite from Eric

I'm trying this at the brewery. The beer poured a clear yellow with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of citrus peel. The taste was aggressive citrus and bitter. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a decent beer.

 

Poured a cloudy body with one-finger head and no lace with an acidic orange juice and tangerine sweet aroma. The beer is smooth, sweet, balances tangerine/white grapefruit sweetness with an acidic sharpness and has a clean finish for an enjoyable DIPA.
