Had this beer on tap at a local burger place.

Very hazy/ murky yellow color with minimal head and lacing, actually lacing not too bad given the ABV. Smell and tasty is tropical fruit. Some vanilla and candied oranges. Fairly boozy and maybe a too sweet. A good beer to finish the evening.

 

A: The beer is very hazy, murky pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of cream and toffee are present in the nose along with notes of coconut.
T: The taste follows the smell and also has hints of frosted donuts.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA definitely tastes strong, but is more like something that is 10% compared to 12.5%.

 

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass.
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy brownish yellow color with almost no head. There is a tiny bit of bubbly foam on the surface of the brew that remains there throughout the drinking experience.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is strong of a grainy malt smell mixed with tons of herbal hop aromas and strong notes of earth and pine. Along with these smells comes a touch of tropical fruit sweetness and a hint of yeastiness.
Taste- The taste begins with a sweet malt flavor that is big and doughy with notes of graininess and some flavors of tropical fruit. Right from the start the hop is heavy, with dank flavors of herbal and pine hop as well as some earth and pine. As the taste advances the earthiness gets stronger, all while the sweet malt tastes do as well. The alcohol begins to make itself know, brining a level of hotness to the brew. At the end some lemon and vegetal tastes come to the tongue, and with the rest of the flavors, leave one with a somewhat non-complimenting sweet and dank vegetal/herbal taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is super thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is on the lower side. The thick body accentuates the somewhat lingering taste of the brew a bit to much, leaving one with a brew that is somewhat hard to drink.
Overall – The flavors of this brew just do not compliment each other very well. Not one I would go to again…

 

 

 

L: A milky lemon rind and pineapple brew. Has a finger of ivory head

S: Spirited but not only a deep draw catches some booze. Powdered sugar
a-plenty. Otherwise it’s citrus and lemon bitters, piña colada vibes dominate.

T: Following the nose as one of the easiest drinking big IPAs I’ve ever had. ABV adds to the experience for sure, but with zero burn. It’s a zesty and citrusy piña colada in beer form. Nice green grassy notes, slight chive too. Loving it. Piney bitterness comes in with a slight drying on the aftertaste.

F: Pulls off the high sugar without being cloying in any way. Medium weight and carbonation. Super smooth.

O: Some more booze on the nose only as I drink. This is a phenomenal brew for what they were going for.

 

A Tavour treat. Pours a hazy yellow color with a minimal head that lasts quite a while. Aroma is orange and pineapple fruit juice. Tastes of sweet juices with a slight - but rather pleasant - bitterness at the finish. The high ABV is well hidden. Smooth and creamy.

 

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a snifter.

Look- Pale straw, hazy, average head retention, above average lacing.

Smell- Pineapple, orange, melon.

Look- Vibrant flavor, pineapple, ripe melon, clementine, sweet/boozy finish.

Feel- Full body, soft, low bitterness, smooth, below average carbonation, sweet/boozy finish.

Overall- Delightful beer with massive flavor.

Pours a very cloudy golden color with a thick foamy head. Head retention is good. Lacing is very good. Juicy citrus aroma. Has some mild dankness. Smooth, juicy, creamy, pineapple taste. There is a little bit of an alcohol burn after drinking it. Heavy bodied with low to moderate carbonation. This is a really good beer.
