New Anthem Beer Project

 

Had from can Canton St Aug 2020

New Anthem rarely disappoints - another great one!

Citra, herbal, and citrus nose. Smooth juicy and citrus with a tad earthy note on the palate. Silky acidic finish that stings the roof of the mouth like a grapefruit. Pours with a beautiful haze.

 

 

 

Dark creamsicle orange in color with an opaque, unfiltered appearance. Poured with a moderate, creamy white foam with medium low retention. Medium malt and fruity, citrus aromas with fresh orange zest and grapefruit notes. Medium bodied with medium light carbonation. Creamy, silky smooth feel with light, pleasant warmth from the middle to the end. Ripe citrus orange and bitter lemon flavors up front. Medium, lightly spicy bitterness through the middle. Bitterness continues to linger and expand to the end.  Solid malty backbone throughout. Finished with citrus fruit flavors and moderate, lingering bitterness. Well balanced with surprising hoppy bitterness. Great look and feel. Very tasty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CANNED: 12/21/2017

Pours a turbid orange with a thick pillowy layer of white froth on the surface. Bright citrusy hop aromas: creamy lemon, lime, and orange, peach, and mango. Creamy vibrant citrus with a moderate bitterness. Fruit salad sweetness wears on the tongue a bit, but the dry finish and a dose of sprucey greenness save it. Smooth, fluffy medium body. Just a little too juicy sweet overall to be as drinkable as it should be, but still tasty.

Hazy and light gold beer with a fluffy white head that leaves a nice amount of lacing behind. Smells fruity and sweet with a lot of grapefruit and little hint of melon. There is some floral hop notes along with the grapefruit pith smell. The taste is sweet grapefruit juice and a touch of caramel sweetness followed by a pithy bitter finish. Nice smooth mouthfeel. This is a really great beer.
