Another candidate for a New England Imperial IPA style. Very much a strong version of a NEIPA!!! Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass, this beer featured a medium sized foamy white head, lots of lacing on the glass and a hazy gold color. Head retention is about average. Aroma and taste include moderate bitterness and tropical fruit, mostly pineapple, passion fruit and mango. Quite tasty even though I prefer a bit more bitterness. Mouthfeel is crisp, slightly sweet with moderate bitterness. Not much in the way of alcohol presence despite the 9% .abv strength. A pretty good IPA.

Hazy yellow, thin white head, good retention, rings of lace
Mango, muskmelon, and pineapple aromas
Sweet tropical fruit flavor, nice bit of bitterness on the finish
Thick and low carbonation
Pretty good for a hazy

 

A - Opaque dark orange color with frothy dense white lacing. Foam sticks on the glass like glue, nice head retention after the pour.

S - Orange, pineapple, and sweet grapefruit citrus aroma with citrus cream.

T - Sweet citrus and spicy citrus rind from start to finish. Orange and sweet red grapefruit, finishes on the sweeter side with a lingering orange and tangerine resin, bitterness is low.

M - Thick and chewy with a fruity dry finish.

O - This is a good one. Recommended and wish I had regular access to this.

A-Pours a hazy light amber golden color with a nice head and lacing
A-Aroma has tropical and citrus hints
T-The taste follows the nose with tropical and citrus flavors
M-A medium bodied well carbonated beer
O-A good IIPA

L: Can date of 9/17/2019, so a little under 3 weeks old. Poured aggressively into a teku glass which results in a big pillowy white head. Yellow orange in color similar to an Other Half IPA.
S: Mango and pineapple jump out of the glass with some resin and pine after.
T: Juicy tropical fruits, orange, pineapple and mango, with a resinous hop finish
F: Nice smooth and almost creamy mouthfeel with a nice hop finish. Medium carbonation.
O: A great double IPA from Solace. Great showing of galaxy and mosaic.

 

 

 

 

On tap, pours a very hazy orange. Smells and tastes primarily like dank weed. Appropriately named. Also nice notes of tropical and citrus fruit. Drinks like a much lower ABV beer, with no hint of booze. Just a great beer.

 

New DIPA from Solace. On tap at Brookland Pint in Washington, DC. 9%. Soft and juicy. Galaxy and Mosaic hops. Hyper fresh

Appearance: Pours a hazed out orange. Quite opaque. Big white head that retains very well.

Smell: Jumps out of the glass. Orange juice, papaya, mango, pineapple, guava. Hints of resin.

Flavor: Follows the aroma pretty closely. Bright, juicy fruit. Zesty orange, mango, pineapple, papaya. Dries out massively on the finish and exposes hints of resin. More orange zest character.

Feel: Soft and juicy on the palate, but with a firm bitterness that helps to balance. Quite dry and drinkable for 9%. Dries out on the finish with lingering orange zest.

Overall: These dudes know how to brew. New England influences with pleasing dryness and drinkability.
