Right Kind Of Haze
Matchless Brewing

Matchless is a big hit or miss for me, they have some great beers but they also have some questionable ones. This beer pours a very murky, dark orange with a thick head to top if off. Aroma consists mostly of sweet, soft fruits. Taste is underwhelming, very light and watery tasting with a light tropical fruitiness and some melon. Body is on the lighter side and almost no bitterness is present. Overall this beer doesn't offer much at all, it's certainly not bad but underwhelming in my opinion.

Look : Impossibly large 8 finger head, which takes literally forever to go down. Hazy orange body.

Smell : Light melon, orange, mild tropical fruits. Very light, crisp flavor.

Taste : See above.

Feel: Pillow soft body and tons of carbonation, pretty much no hop bitterness. Balanced upfront.

 

L: A murky milky but light peach hue. Three finger of dense beige froth - good retention and lacing. Unique look.

S: Stone fruits. Bitterness, a mineral quality, even rubbing alcohol - no aroma of the pilsner yeast.

T: Very fresh plum. Follows the nose otherwise, but not boozy. A hint of honeydew also.

F: Thin for the ABV, ample carbonation. Quite dry.

O: Repeatable for sure. Might not buy a 4-pack again, but I'd have a pint again at a restaurant.

On tap at Brick House in Vancouver, WA with Jordyn! This is a slightly above average hazy IPA. Good taste over all, but nothing spectacular here. Good day outside on though!

 

 

Hazy pale orange with two fat fingers of soupy, off-white head. It has decent retention and leaves thick, webbed lacing.

Overripe tropical fruit, tropical flowers, vanilla and a hint of nail polish remover in the nose.

The tropical elements are still present in the taste, but restrained by some relatively strong grassy bitterness and a touch of water-cracker malt. A light touch of vanilla is still present, along with some mint, and just a ghost of the alcohol-solvent impression from the aroma.

Full, pillowy mouthfeel with just enough carbonation.

This is a solid, drinkable, reasonably-balanced attempt at a NEIPA that I’d be happy to drink again.

Hazy, yes, yellow brew with a nice pile of foam in the wine glass. Really frothy with clouds of carbonation in the mouth. Malty and not as acidic as a lot of IPAs. Very fragrant though I find it hard to describe-- pineapple juice aroma with a vast nose of something flowery with some fresh straw.

This is sort of a "milkshake" style though it's not overly sweet. Massively citrusy. Flavors of lime and mango with orange juice chaser. Quite moderate bitterness but a decent snap in the aftertaste. This is really very drinkable and pleasant. From the 16 oz can purchased at Community Co-op in Bellingham.
