Creeping Shadows
FrauGruber Brewing

 

Straight from the can. Aroma is quite juicy and dank with pineapple notes. Taste follows, hoppy and dank with a bit of hop burn on the finish. Medium plus body with medium carbonation. Quite good, proper juicy IPA.

 

 

Very hazy amber, almost no head
The hops are very nice with the Galaxy and Vic secret which brings a dank tropical fruit character with some citrus and berries notes

De Labirratorium. En copa Teku. Viendo Westworld 1x01-02. Empiezan afrutada pero rapidamente se vuelve muy amarga, rascando en la garganta, y termina algo seca. Los lupulos le dan un perfil herbal

Pours a hazy pale golden amber coloration with a small, fizzy head that recedes quickly. Smell is bright and juicy with citrus and tropical fruit aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, mango and passion fruit, with just a hint of a certain grassy dankness. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by hoppy, juicy citrus/tropical fruit notes of grapefruit, tangerine, mango and passion fruit, as well as some light biscuity malt and quite a dank, herbal presence with a hint of pine. Finishes with a medium bitterness and medium/strong hop burn, with some tropical notes and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This starts out quite sweet and juicy, but also has some serious dankness to it that develops into a somewhat harsh hop burn in the finish, which is not entirely unpleasant in my opinion though. The dank, grassy, herbal notes act as good contrast to the sweet juicyness and personally I rather enjoy a bit of hop burn, which gives a nice kick to this. Mouthfeel could be better for the style but is hardly terrible either.

Pours a murky yellow with a small head, receeding to a bubbly lacing.

Bursts of tropical fruits on the nose, leaden by mango, passion fruit and unriper tangerine. Got a layer of orange sorbet atop this foundation, adding a pleasant complexity to the aromas.

Has a medium mouthfeel with a lower carbonation and a late dryness, which makes this somehow refreshing. Has a scratching, distracting hop burn, wandering down the throat, killing the beer‘s possible smoothness effectivly.

Tastes of bitter lemon from the very beginning, coated up by white bread dough and a hint of wild honey. Offers more orange after that, with a well pronounced dry punch, at the same time as a sweet toffee note comes up, striving unsuccessfully for supremacy. The sweet part of the beer finds a tropical fruit finish in pineapple and passionfruit, gently embraced by more bitter lemon.

Tastes way less fruity than the beer manages to smell like, a bit muddled and unfocussed, while it provides a very nice, oldschool westcoast bitterness. Its mouthfeel though is subpar, thin and burning.
