Velcrow Walls
Farm by Beer Tree Brew Co.

 

Look...golden yellow with a juicy appearance. Completely opaque
Smell...Of the pour a dank grassy green and definitive yeast character. Pleasant
Taste...Very close to the dank gassy hop with a nice bitterness that is nicely balanced by the sweet melon juice.
Feel..Silky nice with ample carbonation. A great fullness excellent
Overall...This beer will work anytime. I believe I will need further examination of this beer to make sure it is worthy
Excellent and worth a try because I have no idea on the age

Average NEiPA but I found the one to be overdone. Too much juiciness for me and maybe there is some surclose in here. I like some beer-ness in my beer and this one is overweighted with NEIPA-ness.

im a fan

 

Good, fruity, well-rounded IPA. I’ll try it again.

Pours a cloudy golden straw with a finger of foamy head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring with plenty of lacing. Aroma of pineapple and citrus. Taste follows nose.

 

 

 

First - My can says "Velcrow Walls" (not "Velcro") - presumably there was some trademark issue over the name Velcro - but the label otherwise looks the same as the one pictured here. . . .

A: Poured into a tulip glass. Body is hazy dark golden/honey with a half-finger of whitish foam on top.

S: Good strong nose of tropical fruit (primarily pineapple), white grapes and skins, and underripe stone fruit.

T: Follows the nose, with tropical fruity hops (pineapple, papaya), peaches/nectarine and underripe plums. Some white wine-like grape skin too. Finishes sweet with a touch of pineapple bitterness. Some heat from that 7.1% ABV is felt in the belly.

M: The feel detracts here - there's a slickness to it - almost diacetyl-like, but not quite - and a "flat" feel. Call it medium in heft.

O: OK. A little bit all over the place.

Can dated 2/12/2019 , poured into a tulip.

Slightly hazy orange-gold, with creamy white head.

Smells of pineapple juice, tangerine, grapefruit, apricot preserves, mango, and a little freshly-slices warm bread.

Taste is dried tangerine rind, slight bit of pine/sage/dank hop flavor, grapefruit juice, dried pineapple, and mango . Mild bitterness throughout, coming more to the fore near finish, and lingering a bit. No noticeable alcohol.The bitterness stands out more than any particular flavor. It's not overpowering, just equal.

Feel is medium, moderately creamy, becoming slightly oily as the head fades. That soft feel is tempered by very fine, sharp, carbonation tingle, that lingers a bit after finish.

Overall good, not spectacular, but pretty good. :)
Edit, 2 days later : Having it again, with different food, and feeling a bit better than two days ago, I'm liking it just a tad better, so upped it .25, in Taste & Overall.

this place was a great little find on our way back to syracuse from the city, i had no idea this place was here, but its new, beautiful, big, and homey feeling, and their beers were awesome. this is a hazy ipa, surely everyone is making one of these now, but this one stands out as quite solid, although i dont like it quite as much as i liked their west coast chinook ipa in here. still, its a winner for a number of reasons. its bright orange in the glass, not much light passing through it, and it holds its head really well, ring lacing as it sips down, and a huge aroma of fresh citrus, pineapple, and peach, all sliced up and blended like a morning smoothie. really pungent and forward, not much from the grain in the nose at all, but thats where this style has gone, juicy and dry hoppy as can be, fresh as heck too. there is a distinct tropical fruitiness to the flavor, canned mandarin oranges, pineapple, and even a mango sort of juicy sweetness, and there is definitely a bit of residual sugar tied up in the beer as well, especially later on and as it warms, its oily and kind of rich feeling by the end, a little heavy for the flavors it has, and probably not a pint i could make a day of. on top of that, its got some of that overhopped greenness to it, not to a flaw level, but it makes it just a tad harsh in the finish, even with the creamy smooth body from the starchy grains. a better than most take on the style here, and one that will likely keep getting better as they dial it is. this place was an awesome find, ill be back for sure!
