Hazy
OverHop Bières Artisanales

 

 

 

 

Got this one from the LCBO this past summer

From a 473ml can into a pint glass
IBU: 50
EBC: 10

APPEARANCE: Pours a big, fluffy, looser, foamy white head with great retention. Lots of foam on this one. Had to pour it out in multiple stages. Very foamy. Did I mention the foam? Almost forgot. Foamy. Hazy, cloudy gamboge orange with no carbonation. Head eventually recedes to a reasonable level but it’s still foamy all over the lace. Oh yeah, it was foamy. Almost forgot.

SMELL: Melon, hay and grass, with some wheat notes and caramel malts. Decent strength. Some metallic qualities in here as well. Not foamy but may as well be.

TASTE: Relatively empty up front. Some metallic flavors at the swallow with a medium finish of hay, grass, some melon sweetness and citrus flavor, as well as various metals and an assortment of treats from the periodic table.

PALATE: Medium body and foamy. Airy and foamy, but goes down without much issue and finishes rather dry.

OVERALL: This is bad. If the word ‘bad’ applies anywhere, it applies here. The nose was slightly more tolerable but this is mostly just a glass of metallic foam. Not sure if something is wrong with this can but I rather hope so, since I can’t imagine making a beer this bad on purpose. Drain enjoyed most of this.

Can: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral hoppy undertones of citrus and light mango. Taste is also dominated by citrus floral undertones with some hoppy tropical notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but falls a little bit short on texture and hops dominance.

 

Can: poured a hazy light amber-gold with a 1 finger puffy white cap...aromas of pine, grapefruit, floral over a light grainy presence...mouth is soft and fluid,.... taste is grainy with lemony - pine hop resins, smooth dry hoppy fruity finish....satisfying and quenching a decent canned IPA
