Concentrated
BKS Artisan Ales

 

 

 

 

Pours a pale orange with a completely opaque translucency. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is papaya, tangerine, guava, orange zest, and big mango. Some mild lemon zest comes on as the beer warms. Flavor profile builds on the same blocks, delivering moderate papaya and tangerine, mild lemon zest, and bold mango. Green hop adds some burn behind, but it's minor. As a whole, the flavor profile is bold. Mouth feel is medium-thick with a creamy texture that develops after the initial, slightly sharp start. Overall, big and full. A concentrated delivery of tropical fruits.

Served in a 2023 AM glass from a 16oz can. Reviewed from notes.

16oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of fluffy foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of resinous pine, orange, grapefruit and sweet caramel. Great tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.
