Dear Mama
BlackStack Brewing

Short notes from June 2020.
16oz can into a 16oz pint glass.
L: Pours hazy dark gold with a 1 finger white head. Good invisible carbonation. Some lacing.
S: Sweet citrus, orange juice, honey, light coconut, flower notes. It is quite floral.
T: Mango, pineapple, moderately juicy citrus, very light apple, lemon, light pine, very light bread within.
F: Smooth efficient hops, lightly creamy and soft. It is lightly thick on the tongue. It is lightly drying and has a heavy mouthfeel and a medium finish that is for the most part sweet.
O: A beautiful flowery tasting IPA with a kind and gentle touch. It is fairly well balanced and excellent.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on July 2, 2020.

 

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head.
S: Light to moderate aromas of coconuts and lemongrass are present in the nose along with hints of clove.
T: Like the smell, the taste has flavors of coconuts along with notes of stone fruit and hints of lemongrass.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really enjoyed the aromas and flavors of coconuts from the Sabro hops in the smell and taste of this New England-style IPA. It wasn't nearly as juicy compared to most of the other beers in this style.

This beer pours a vageuly hazy yellow with a medium head. The aroma is very pretty and expressive, with lychee, passion fruit, guava, roses, melon, yuzu, and mango. The flavor follows, dominated by lychee, with passion fruit, yellow apple, spring flowers, guava, yuzu, melon, mango, pineapple, and a soft, sweet finish. The mouthfeel is heavy and soft, with moderate carbonation. Overall this is an impressive beer - hugely aromatic, with a matching intense flavor, and aroma that are almost unique, at least in the combination.

Can. White head. Hazy pale golden color.

Pretty juicy. Mango and orange. Papaya. Soft. Tropical. Honeydew. Earthy, but not bitter.

Pours a golden wheat color with a fresh white head. Smell had some dank citrus notes and passion fruit. Taste was citrus/grapefruit forward with notes of passion fruit,spice,some mint/pine in the finish. Very soft mouthg feel with prickly pine and citrus rind. Another nicely done IPA.
