Hybrid Moments
FrauGruber Brewing

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.3%. Cloudy yellow colour, small white head. Pleasant aroma of citrus, tropical fruits and spruce. Equally pleasant flavour with the same elements, some sweetness but not too much, moderately bitter finish.

Great complexity and taste sensation. Flavorful but not sweet. Mosaic swirling with multiple hop profile beautifully harmonizing. Alcohol well hidden. Will hustle to buy more before sold out

 

 

Pours a hazy, deep, dark golden amber coloration with a medium, fluffy, stable head. Smells of light biscuity malt and bright, juicy tropical/citrus hops, with pineapple and lime zest standing out particularly and just a hint of a certain grassy dankness. Taste is an excellent balance of light, sweet'ish biscuity malt and vibrant, juicy tropical and zesty citrus hops, with notes of pineapple, mango, lime zest and tangerine, as well as a light, grassy dankness and just a hint of pine resin. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some tropical and dank notes lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

An excellent NEIPA with quite a bright and juicy hop character that really brings out the BRU-1 and Motueka hops especially, with some sweet pineapple and zesty lime notes backed up by more tropical fruits and lighter dank and piny notes. Never feels too sweet or boozy, with a good bitterness coming through in the finish and quite a soft and pillowy mouthfeel as well, proving once again that FrauGruber are still the German kings of the style. I'm confident that this wouldn't get singled out in a blind tasting with American examples of the style, which is something that can't be said of many German NEIPAs.

This is a juicy as it gets. It has everything that makes NEIPAs the hype that they are. I drink this already 2 month old but it remains a juice bomb. All this sweet fruits in aroma and taste are balanced by bitterness that seems like lupulin is scratching your tongue.

A bit unbalanced and with fermentation default notes. The hops are there all right, quite dank, almost overriped fruits.
The mouthfeel is alright but it remains a sweet brew
