Stop & Smell The Citrus
Weathered Ground Brewery

 

Light haze. Fresh tropical and citrusy aroma. Moderately juicy flavor. Finishes somewhat bitter. A bit thin of body. Brewery calls it a New England IPA, but with the somewhat bitter finish, seems almost like a hybrid.

3/1/2024, AT the brewery! Birthday month trip for Leah.

First of the night, this was a lovely and surprisingly different hazy.

Not overly sweet, definitely citrus up front with a big taste of bubblegum, and pine sap finish.

 

 

Appearance: Pours a murky honey color with a head that builds to two fingers; excellent retention and squiggles of lace

Smell: Papaya, pineapple and mango with some grapefruit/lemon citrus tones, as well

Taste: Papaya, pineapple and mango forward with dank citrus flavors developing; the finish brings on moderate to high bitterness but is a bit green

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation

Overall: I really enjoyed the tropical profile here but the finish was a bit harsh

Thanks, Treyliff, for the opportunity

 

 

16oz draft, poured into a snifter at WG

A- pours a hazy pale orange color with a one finger creamy white head that has good retention after the pour

S- aroma is a nice mix of earthy/herbal mosaic and juicy citra, grapefruit, orange pith, passionfruit, melon

T- juicy citrusy hops up front give notes of orange, grapefruit peel & tangerine, followed by tropical notes of mango, papaya & melon. Earthy and herbaceous mosaic notes close it out with more citrus hip bitterness on the linger

M- medium body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a slightly murky finish

O- a hazy IPA in WV!? Yes, it's true, and it's delicious.
