Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on January 20, 2021.

 

 

 

A: The beer is rather hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left lots of lacing down the sides of the glass, a narrow collar around the edge, and patches of bubbles covering the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of lime and kumquat are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of peach and pineapple. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied, juicy and a bit crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: You can definitely smell and taste the Riwaka hops in this beer from the distinct aromas and flavors of kumquat.

Serving type: can

 

16oz can
L: bright yellow-orange & fully opaque ale; creamy off-white head
S: juicy grapefruit, papaya, guava
T: grapefruit, passion fruit, papaya, guava, kiwi, lime, blueberry
F: creamy & smooth full body, soft carbonation, bittersweet & zest finish
O: delicious beer here - great combo of hops, and I seem to really like the Riwaka hop!

I enjoyed this thoroughly. You can tell Saint errant had a hand in it. It provides their recent trend of hazies. Clean fresh with good malt backbone and an enjoyable amount of hops.

Poured from a can into a Rastal Teku glass.

LOOK: This looks great. Nice, hazy, yellow/orange color. Medium foam and lacing.

SMELL: Tropical and citrusy.

TASTE: First taste put me off a bit. A little yeasty? Astringent? Not bad, and improving and smoothing out as it warms up. Like the smell, very citrusy and tropical.

FEEL: Nice mouthfeel. Not too thin, but not heavy and coating like a milkshake IPA. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

OVERALL: Very good and satisfying. Would buy again.

16oz can, undated, poured into a 16oz tumbler glass.

The beer pours a very hazy and turbid orange color, amber and golden hues with a foamy white head, about finger tall with decent retention and excellent lacing. The aroma is pleasant, lots of juicy tropical fruits, grapefruit peel, floral and dank hops, earthy, grassy with a sweet yeast and dough base. The flavors are good, a little tangy and astringent, super citrus, lots of pineapple, a bit acidic almost with some dank grassiness, earthy and piney with some floral qualities and lightly sweet grains. The mouthfeel is good, coating and lively medium body, not too heavy with a creamy finish.

Verdict: A nice IPA from More and Saint Errant. The aroma is quite nice and really invites you into this beer, though the flavors are a bit too acidic, tangy and astringent. That being said, there is certainly enough reward to make this is worthwhile session.
