Flossy
New Anthem Beer Project

On tap in a pint glass that’s shaped like a beer can.

Opaque hazed mango-orange juice looking brew. Minimal white cap, rings of spotty lacing.

Tropical and citrus juice mix of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and orange. A note of light toast from the oats and a bit of sweet alcohol.

Tropical juice soaked malts and oats. Grapefruit and orange, too.

Medium bodied thick glass of juice. Dry hop bitterness.

Juice bomb. Oats help balance it out.

Poured from the can into a mug.

Fairly opaque body, only gets slight turbid while being topped up. Deep custard lemon color, rich creamy three finger tall fine head with sheet like lacing of creamy egg white looks.

Great hop aroma. Deep hit of tropical but with more of a spicy punch. Juiced up light pineapple and some floral to citrus angles also. Touches earthy herbal spice, with lots of complexity.

Palate is real enjoyable. Juiced up hits of spicy faint lemongrass and chewy malt depth. Nearly creamy texture with hit of grapefruit peel and zesty oil particularly lingering in the aftertaste. Excellent bitterness on the finish, pine earth and minty, with faint malt blossom honey flavors to go with it.

Has touches of NE character but gets into more classic and bitter hop flavors adding to diversity and complexity. Makes for a great IPA.

 

Looks great, but without a date on the can I can’t tell if the beer is bad or just old...tastes old.
Need to try again...

A: Pours an extremely milky murky medium to dark golden honey yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate burnt orange + bright orange + dark golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a couple of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/mango, citrus/grapefruit, tropical/passionfruit, citrus/tangerine, and tropical/melon hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + bready + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of honey-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + bready + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of honey-like sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/mango, citrus/grapefruit, tropical/passionfruit, citrus/tangerine, and tropical/melon hops which impart a hint of bitterness which fades away almost instantly leaving lingering juicy tropical + citrus hop flavors.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a very nice flavor + aroma combination (tropical + citrus) from the hops. Could easily have a couple of these.

 

 

 

 

6/23 Release

Cloudy yellow-orange color with a soapy white cap. Galaxy-heavy tropical fruity dankness in the nose...melon, citrus, and apricot. Thick mango, grapefruit, creamy passion fruit, peach, watermelon, and tangerine. Creamy smooth, fluffy bodied and dry. Very good.
