E-Z Swords
Eagle Park Brewing

 

Pours dark orange hazy. Poured hard - big white head.
smell is a little zesty and peppery with some tropical notes.
Flavor has some of that, but is sweet, and not well balanced. Can tell if it is tropical or vegetal. Might be Simcoe and some newer hop. The competition is not good. There is no flavor profile from the yeast here, which is one thing I consider to be critical with hazies.
Wouldn't drink this again. Not a terrible beer, but just so much out there.

Looks are appropriate for the style, and frankly, the style still hasn’t changed my mind (I prefer “old school” IPA).

Big, tropical nose. Mango, papaya, a passion fruit, and (yep) a touch of the Sunny D (O.J.)

Flavor follows-through on the aromas which are prominent in the nose, and this one is incredibly soft on the palate, especially on the first sip. Excellent drinkability.

Minimal bitterness, and the 8.5% ABV is practically nonexistent. Danger!

Thanks to @GreenBayBA for the can!

Ploughshare Wide Mouthed Glass

An opaque honey colored glow with a tall, huge, creamy monstrous head of 3 fingers, gradually receding to 2, with lots of lace conquering the glass.

Definite cryo hop present in the aroma, with slight dank broccoli, some tangerine, slight grapefruit, dried coconut, very slight tropical mango.

Interesting flavor profile. I get some orange creamsickle, lemon zest, musty gym socks, tangerine, plastic, mango, pineapple candy, lemon drop, grass, coconut oil, and basil.

Feel is creamy all the way home. Nice resins and some good juice acidity though not cranked on full. Good job on taming the alcohol heat even at 8.5%. Resiny finish with lingering stabs of burning alcohol.

Overall pretty decent, it was a little weird with the bitterness and sweetness competing for first place. Every bit as funky as its can art, definitely its own thing. Try it once or twice.

Eagle Park E-Z Swords DIPA, 8.5% ABV. Pours medium hazy orange with a 4+ finger white head that left foamy lacing. Nose is pineapple, coconut, and orange. Taste is grapefruit, sweet orange, light pine, slight bitter close. Decent mouthfeel, overall outstanding.

 

 

 

Looks like orange juice with a thin white cap. Very tropical in the nose: pineapple, mango, coconut, plus some supporting lemon, lime and grapefruit, hops are present but not too strong. Taste is more hoppy than the nose let on, which the bitterness pairs wonderfully with the hazy fruit. Slightly chewy from the hops, it helps thicken the body which is on the brighter side of neipa's.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on April 27, 2019. A New England IPA brewed with Sabro cryo and Citra hops. Thick haze and a full body.
