Fresh Wax
Farm by Beer Tree Brew Co.

 

On tap at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a semi hazy golden orange, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This has a lot of stone fruit to it, with pineapple and grapefruit as well.

This is pretty solid and what you’d expect out of a good New England style IPA. There’s lots of stone fruit – peach, apricot, nectarine, what have you. There’s also fresh pineapple juice, a touch of grapefruit, and just a small hint of bitterness.

This is lighter bodied, but creamy, and quite drinkable.

I usually kind of forget that Beer Tree makes really solid

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of piney and citrus hops. Tastes of juicy citrus with some tropical fruit and pine notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

A: Poured from the can into a Fiden's tulip. Body is hazy yellowish with a good half-finger of bright white foam on top.

S: Not terribly strong in the nose, but it's pleasant: pineapple, mango, maybe some apricot.

T: Follows the nose with tropical fruit (pineapple, papaya, mango), citrus (some grapefruit peel, limes), and ripe apricot or plum. Finishes with lingering sugary sweetness - think sugar cookie dough or just raw sugar.

M: A little "slick" in feel. Call it medium in heft.

O: Solid. A little on the thicker, more syrupy side - close to traditional DIPA territory, though this one comes in at 7.1% ABV, which is no slouch on the alcohol.
