No Fun
Fuerst Wiacek

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a small, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and faint tropical/citrus hops, with vague notes of papaya and tangerine. Taste is a good balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly herbal and resinous hops, with tropical and citrus notes of mango, papaya, tangerine and grapefruit, as well as just a hint of pine. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some papaya, grapefruit and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

While the aroma is quite disappointing here at first, with only faint and musty fruity aromas, the taste is a lot better, with some quite zesty citrus and sweet, slightly acidic tropical notes, finishing with a good, resinous bitterness, although I had honestly expected a little more from Simcoe and Chinook here. Still, this makes for an enjoyable NEIPA with a good balance of sweet, fruity and bitter, slightly resinous notes, featuring quite a similar flavor profile to the last one I had, while the zesty citrus notes really stand out particularly here.
