Lost Grove Brewing

one of the best in the series so far! no greenness or hop burn, not overly heavy grain base, this is lighter, modern, drinkable, uniquely hopped to me, and objectively better than many of them have been, great to see progress and to have a local hazy at this level, they should be proud of this one! frothy high headed starchy yellow colored brew, really pale, whitewashed looking even, bubbly and lively though, not as heavy as many, not so dense and dull, nice. the aroma is awesome too, not sure what hops are in here, i wish they told us, but its almost candied citrus, lime sucker, intense enough to almost seem perfumed, hop products possible, early starting, nice movement, pink berry and even peach later on, quite modern, juicy, with some sweetness but also a nice earthy grounding from the grain, tidy ferment, well built for sure. the flavor is great, early start again but actually a late flavor climax, even after the swallow, red fruit and citrus candy, amazing pungency without being overdone, and then it just kind of fades out. grassy and lemongrassy, key lime and sweet orange, trace white coconut and lychee even, dynamic and tropical, lightly weedy earlier on and as it warms a little. fairly light to drink, a softness to it, ample carbonation, and good grain contribution without this being malty really in the classic sense. some oils on the palate, smooth, kiwi fruit and melon late, great hop profile overall, one of their best to date in this style space for sure!

edit: this can is holding up pretty well too, several months elapsed in the beer fridge and its still punchy and awesome, flavors that kind of fit the colors on the can, an impressive hop profile thats still drinking plenty fresh well into april here, well done, a top hoppy beer from lost grove all time, no doubt.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy orange golden pour, small fluffy head that fades away. Fruity aroma, light mango. Taste is tropical, fruity, mango, guava. Soft and easy on the pallette.
