Pineapple Terpene IPA
Untitled Art

 

 

This is definitely one of the more different IPA's I have ever had. I don't get much pineapple. There's a very herbal / vegetal and bitter flavor, that reminds me very much of weed.

 

Orange hazed body with some nice sticky lacing. Really strong mango and ripe pineapple on the nose with a really strong dank weed overlay. Strange Combo that is almost hard to describe And I’m not sure I’ve ever had something like this before. Taste is wavy and I’m not sure how I feel about it - wash of fruit and slight bitter pine resin followed by a short blast of pineapple sweetness and a weed-heavy linger. Full blast on the pallet- really aggressive. This beer is unlike any other I’ve quite had and can’t really imagine it being toned up or down in terms of abv - any lighter and the mix of flavors would be washed a bit. Any heavier and it would be way too much. Crazy beer.

 

 

This smells and tastes like weed. Has full mouthfeel. Very interesting but probably wouldn't buy again.

Pours a very hazy orange slash pineapple combination color with a thumb sized dense off white head that falls slow and laces well.

Aroma is different, definite fruity pineapple/mango notes but also big hemp and grass like notes mingled in to. Question is that what Terpene is time to google. huh apparently linked to cannabis so it all makes sense. First off its weird to be so strong fruit and grass/herbal/earthy hints together, but I think I likes it, time to try a sip I recon.

Taste is wow that is big bitter hops up front herbal and kind bud resin all over with intense carbonation up front, to kind of sock it too you. Then it mellows some to fruity pineapple, mango with lingering herbal notes from the front. Really weird how the bitterness hits so fast and upfront but also lingers through out the finish. Must say this is an unusual IPA, seems some people are disliking it but I will be damned if I am not enjoying this uniqueness.

Mouthfeel is a big punch of CO2 upfront then it mellows out to medium with a medium body.

Overall be damned if this isn't a nice surprise, defiantly not the same old IPA shit , you might not like it but I believe I am going to buy a few more just to have a dang change for my palette to enjoy. Defiantly worth trying any way in my book.

Can. White head lace. Hazy sunset orange.

This has to be the worst IPA I have ever drank. It honestly tastes like chow mein and cucumbers. Water chestnuts, chow mein noodles, celery. Seriously, what did they do to this beer. There is some citrus and fruit (likely from the pineapple), but I can't get past the raw vegetable flavor. Mint, grass, weed. So much hemp. Some grapefruit citrus as it warms. It just doesn't work.

 

 

 

 

This is the absolute dankest beer I've ever smelled. Puts G13 and Hemperor to shame.

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/2/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge marijuana, hemp seeds, pineapple, tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Nice complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops, hemp terpenes, bready malts, and light-moderate pineapple notes; with big strength. Taste of huge marijuana, hemp seeds, pineapple, tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of marijuana, hemp seeds, pineapple, tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness on the finish for a while. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops, hemp terpenes, bready malts, and light-moderate pineapple flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent hop/weed notes after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a nice hemp IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops, hemp terpenes, bready malts, and light-moderate pineapple flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft, and not aggressive. The weed took me by surprise, but I guess I should have known what terpene meant. The weed is overpowering as hell, but it got better as it warmed up. Feels like Columbus/Centennial/Chinook hops to complement the dank ass weed notes. Very vibrant, dank, earthy hops/terpenes; balanced bready malts. Not a ton of pineapple, but noticeable. Lightly sweet with lingering resin dryness. A nicely enjoyable and unique offering. Grew on me through the glass.
