(Blind Review)
L - 1-finger bright white head sticks around, leaving consistent lacing. Body is a translucent medium orange.
S - orange, spicy hops, flowery hops, licorice?
T - lots of citrus, with earthy/spicy/flowery hops in the middle. Finishes slightly sour, with some chalkiness. Moderate-low bitterness. Low sweetness. Low booziness.
F - medium body and carb.
O - guessing a fruited pale ale, with perhaps clementine or blood orange? If this citrus taste is all from hops I’ll be surprised and impressed.

Aggressive pour produced a huge offwhite head on this hazy golden brew. Really nice tropical scent also really translates well to the flavor which is somewhat sweet. Good carbonation. Quality beer here!

Wild Leap is the new king of the IPA. Absolutely fantastic.

12oz canned 10-20-20. Opened 12-10-20.
2 finger eggshell white head. Dense foam that retains very well.
Hazy gold with active carbonation rising. Full, thick and clingy lacing.
Tropical nose...mango, papaya, guava, etc...very ripe.
Mango nectar, light grapefruit peel bitterness, juicy tropical fruits galore.
Full body, medium carbonation. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with low bitterness.
A pleasure to drink, scores high on all aspects.
Outstanding.

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head.
S: Light to moderate aromas of stone fruit are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of grapefruit.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really enjoyed the juicy mouthfeel of this IPA.

Serving type: can

• Talus: grapefruit, floral, stone fruit, potpourri, woody, cream, pine, and resinous notes.

 

Poured from 12oz can into teku. Dated less then a week. Pours hazy honey color with 2 fingers light yellow foam that quickly dissipates into a thin cap. Smell and taste are almost identical to passion fruit juice and finnishes into a bready malt flavor. Great carbonation for 8%. Good brew!
