Enjoy by 2023/10/13, how's that for a coincidence
Pours a foamy bubbly 1 finger head with fair retention, a bit of lacing, hazy cloudy peachy pale color

Nose brings citrus and tropical fruit, tangerine, mango, papaya, into peachy stone fruit, peaches and vanilla cream, some pithy notes, doughy malt and mineral chalky notes,

Taste starts with a bit of a bitter pithy note, chalky minerals and creamy doughy malt, cereal a bit of yeast, almost flour kinda thing, then hops kick in, fair juicy, some citrus tangerine like, mango puree but light, hint of stone fruit, candied dried apricots, finishes drier with a bit of perfumey alcohol, and more chalky floury character

Mouth is med bod, but like a thick chalky floury character, med carb

Overall the nose was good, but flavor completely missed the mark, too much focus on making it soft and juicy and not enough malts to balance, and def not enough hop character on teh taste

 

 

A really good NE IPA! One of the best I’ve had at three Notch’d. Hazy orange color with smooth, crisp, and tropical citra flavors. Not overly strong but desirable at 7.5%.

Good NEIPA!! Pours a beautiful, hazy gold color with a big white foamy head and lots of lacing. Head retention is good. Lots of tropical fruit in the nose - mango and passion fruit. Taste is more of the same with the strong addition of tangerine and some moderate bitterness and dankness. Mouthfeel is crisp, fairly light and somewhat bitter. A nice break from the usual grapefruit based/low bitterness NEIPA. Three Notch'd has a brew pub in Virginia Beach. I would like to try one on tap.

 

Tropical fruits on the nose, bitter base but with a fruity aftertaste, very pleasant. Tasted as a flight at the brewery.

 

 

 

 

Bought on recommendation of the owner of beer store in Kitty Hawk. Very nice. Wish I had bought more than one. Smooth, easy to drink.

 

Tall can … “Canned 12/27/21 Enjoy (by) 3/27/22” stamped on the bottom

Typical, quality NEIPA fully hazed look, under a frothy and lasting oatmeal cap. Fine bubble fields of lacing.

Minty, tropical fruit sniff.

Pleasing offering with waves of more tropical fruits, mango, oranges and pineapple. Again, I’m catching a minty lime note. Mighty tasty…high quality NEIPA all the way…well worth a try

Poured moderately hard from a can into a beer stein, forming a pile of foamy white head. Hazy orange color. Smell is some mango. Taste is mango and citrus, with a little bit of hippiness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation after the hard pour. Pretty solid if you're looking for a tropical IPA
