New Park Brewing

 

 

From a 16oz can, dated 10/21/20. Served in an IPA glass.

Pours a heavily hazed, dark apricot colour with two fingers of soft, ivory fluff. Retention is excellent, leaving a heavy, foamy cap and a big, bubbly spiderwebbery of lacing.

Aroma is mildly sweet and nutty - somehow reminiscent of baklava.

Tastes a bit like baklava, too, which is kind of an odd taste for beer. Beyond that, I’m tasting wax, wintergreen, oily orange peel and sour melon. My palate is confused. Very little residual sweetness; a lot of what I’m tasting must be the taste of honey with the sugar removed.

Feel is smooth and a little oily-slick, medium bodied and gently carbonated.

Overall, not a bad beer but not quite my cup of tea.

Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a two finger head; good retention and quite a few swirling shards of lacing

Smell: Honeyed pineapple, peach and passionfruit

Taste: Honeyed pineapple forward, with peach tones building; low to moderate bitterness leans toward passionfruit, in the middle; the finish is a blend of the flavors

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: This is a pretty impressive NE IPA that heads right down the middle path

Thanks, devoured by vermin, for the opportunity

 

 

 

32oz growler from the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with an inch of head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is a nice blend of peach, pineapple, honey, tangerine and some floral hops. The taste starts off with some of the fruits and then moves towards the honey and floral hops. Peach and honey finish with toasted malts and a hint more flowers and some orange rind. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Mild alcohol heat.

 

this was a delicious and lusciously smooth and fruity IPA. melange of saturated hop flavors led by mango, orange creamsicle, peach, and citrus peel are melding with a honey like sweetness to create the most decadent candied fruit quality. the creamyness in the malt profile gives the impression of an excessively sweet fruit smoothie. just delicious and the mouthfeel is full and fluffy rounding out what is undoubtedly a perfect example in the haze jooose genre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had this at the bar last year and today poured from a fresh can. Bright orange color with a lingering white head. Great mouthfeel from start to finish. A touch sweetness up front with a hoppy finish. Very impressed!

 

 

Great color and lacing, really liked this IPA, especially honey flavor - not another NEIPA - great feel too
