Appearance: Pours a completely clear, medium to deep and rich orange/amber color with a strong off-white head that lingers. SRM of 13. (4.25+)
Aroma: Strong aromas of rich tangerine, stonefruit, orange citrus and pine. Some sweet vanilla, stonefruit, and caramel linger underneath. (4.00)
Flavor: Strong flavors support of orange, tangerine, stonefruit, and resinous orange citrus and pine. Some caramel, vanilla and stonefruit along with some alcohol linger. (4.00)
Feel: Medium-body, strong carbonation. Smooth with a slightly bittersweet caramel/pine lingers. Some alcohol warmth. (4.00)
Overall: Delving into these wet-hopped IPAs. Often seem to sweet and caramel malty for my taste.
This is from Little Thistle which has a strong brewery influence from Fair State. This has all the expected west-coast orange, tangerine, resinous pine with that soapy caramel and pine bitterness, yet sticky sweetness off the end. Shows the alcohol a touch for some warmth as possibly designed.
This is a surprisingly spot-on wet-hopped IPA. Pours beautifully. Aromas are to point. Flavors are spot on an quintessentially similar to Celebration. It shows the alcohol warmth a bit more than I'd like is the only drawback.
Little Thistle has been putting out some great beers of all styles recently and with the Fair State influence I'll keep trying their beers out. This is a great version of the style for their first version and I think we could be seeing this a lot more around Minnesota. (Rating: 4.07)
