Thanks Steve!
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a murky/milky yellow emblazoned orange meshed color. Just a slim cap of eggshell white foamy head glossing the top eloquently. Dissipation slyly met with some coated lace.
The aroma had some shaved melon rind, vanilla sweet wafery-ness, weathered herbal tea and just a light touch of juicy tropical fruits ever so lightly in the backbone. With a little bit more warmth, some minty/menthol sweet character entered in finely.
The flavor cleaned up on those characters of melon sweetness not necessarily ignoring the rind but mostly leaning towards the sweet flesh. Some stickiness of tropical fruits in the aftertaste with soft vanilla.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt good and low. Gentle sticky feel running along my tongue. Finishes with some tropical fruits and vanilla.
Overall, a very nicely done New England styled DIPA well worthy of partaking in again!

 

 

 

 

a new one and yet another collaboration, this time with dancing gnome, who i know absolutely nothing about. they seem to have been doing a ton of these lately, and this one is nice too, if a little less distinct and remarkable as some of the others have been. nelson and amarillo on this one, they must have a good lead on a nelson supply, using it in just about everything it seems right now. this one is really milky looking and without much brightness, pretty muted in the glass, dull even, but it does have a nice airy white head on top with great retention. aroma is nelson driven with some melon and gentle herbal character as well, subtle vanilla in this one too, very soft and insanely fresh to me. its mouthwatering, but the smell is the best part, and the hops run together a little bit in the flavor, not as dynamic or pronounced as it smells. still a real juicy complexion, but kind of made heavy by all the grain residuals on here, it doesnt have the drinkability as some of the others, and seems less original, but its hard to be critical of fresh haze thats packed with nelson, and we all really dug this, just not quite as much as some of the other outer range cans in our recent session. i cant get enough from outer range right now.
