Tiny Clouds
BKS Artisan Ales

It has the juicy flavor profile of BKS’ "regular" IPAs, but is a little thin. There’s still a lot of tropical citrus to go around, though.

Can purchased from the brewery 5/20/2022.

 

 

Pours a murky orange with a finger of white foam. Aroma is light and tight, with mango and orange driving the hop side, and biscuit and pale malts driving the malt side. There is a slight yeast ester adding to the complexity. It smells like a session NE IPA might. Flavor profile is mango, orange, and tangerine with biscuit, pale, and bread malts smoothing it out. Yeast ester stands out more here, adding a little uniqueness to the otherwise standard flavor profile. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a crisp, light-velvety. Towards the finale of the beer, the feel develops into a decadent velvetiness. Overall, flavorful with a wonderful feel. There is a lot going on here for a beer right at 5%, and yet it isn't a flavor bomb.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

No canning date! But this seems pretty fresh

L -- Hazed pale orange body with a finger of solid white head produced with moderate pour. Some retention and good lacing
S -- Light citrus flesh & zest, floral, pale grainy malt
T -- Largely follows the nose. Very mild but no off flavors
F -- Light mouthfeel, medium carb. Very low bitterness
O -- Nice crushable NE-style session

79/100

Easily the best Blonde Ale I can remember having. Seems to take a page from the Treehouse Eureka series. It drinks more like a juiced up APA. Hazy saturated pale orange, ample frothy foam and a collar of nice lacing. Great aroma, citrusy grapefruit and earthy spicy hops.

Grapefruit juice and rind, smooth and juicy with a light but firm bitterness in the aftertaste. Light earthy hop character. Hop forward, light bodied, and easily drinkable. Great stuff.

Tall can purchased 2 days ago at the brewery.

Hazed and a nice looking medium pear in color...delicate fields of lacing on the glass.

Enjoyable sniff of ripe melon.

Delicate, complex and quite delicious quaffer......fruity, grassy, resiny in the long and lasting peppery finish......more super enjoyable brew from a new and hot little brewery in KC....go get some next time they are open....(only on Saturday's and sundays)
