FrauGruber Brewing

 

Pours a hazy, bright orange coloration with a large, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical/citrus hops, with notes of passion fruit, mango, as well as some herbal accents. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, herbal, slightly dank and spicy hops, with strong tropical and lighter citrus notes of passion fruit, mango, lime peel and hints of herbal weed and white pepper. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some passion fruit, mango and herbal accents lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This feels like your typical tropical juice bomb at first, but does actually have some rather nice, herbal, dank and spicy accents to it, as well as a decent bitterness in the finish, with some citrus notes as well. A very nice NEIPA that is expressive, well-balanced and not too one-dimensional. Unusually for FrauGruber, this doesn't list hop varieties, but I would bet money on Strata being part of the hop bill here, although I could be wrong. It does have that strong passion fruit character and certain dankness though, and kinda reminded of another NEIPA featuring Strata I just had before this. Pretty nice body and amouthfeel as well, and not a hint of the ABV to this.

De Tercertiempocervezas. En copa Teku. Jugando a Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Fraugruber no falla. Fresca IPA cítrico/herbal con un marcado amargor y el alcohol bien oculto. Bien equilibrada
