Future Birds
Town Brewery

Pours a completely opaque, hazy, light yellow-orange color. Thin white head forms on the beer upon pouring. Shows nice head retention.

Aroma has notes of pineapple, orange, lemon, lemon rind, with some floral, rindy hop notes.

Taste follows the nose with notes of pineapple, orange, and lemon with a strong biscuit malt backbone. Mild sweetness with a moderate amount of bitterness.

Feel is smooth, medium bodied but still drinkable. Moderate carbonation. Trends drier on the finish.

Overall a very nice NE style IPA.

16oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. Can is dated 17/02/2022. Received from @Coronaeus in a LIF associated with NBS BIF #14.

Pours a hazy whitish-yellow with a medium-to-large sized head and lots of active carbonation. Head settles into an uneven layer maxing out about two millimeters thick, with a thick creamy looking read and a tube of lacing. Smell is very nice. Lightly floral with a lot of citrus (orange pith and a hint of lemon, I think).

Taste is dry and nicely bitter, still leaning heavily toward citrus pithiness, tart and juicy without being all that sweet. Resinous, piney finish.

Mouthfeel is dry and very light, not quite airy but moving in that direction. Overall, very nice beer.

Excellent head production and good retention; excellent lacing. Body is a light lemon yellow color and completely opaque and turbid.

Incredibly juicy and aromatic nose! Guava, lemon, papaya, pineapple. It's a bit of a melange of tropical notes, so I'm not getting many more individual expressions, but it's a wonderful aroma.

Not nearly as juicy on the palate - or at least, not sweet. There's plenty of fruity hop expression, but it's floating on a relatively light and crackery malt base. Very light, but very tasty, and extremely drinkable - at this ABV and mouthfeel, absolutely crushable.
