Spyglass Brewing Company

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic Pint glass canned on 7/15/2020. Pours a hazy dark yellow with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves a massive foam collar as it slowly settles. 5

Smell is ripe mango, cantaloupe, peach, papaya, mandarin, and apricot. 4.75

Taste follows mango, cantaloupe, passion fruit, peach, papaya, mandarin orange, and apricot, really impressive and amazingly balanced. 4.75

Mouthfeel is a big medium, soft gentle carbonation, a tad sticky but never dry, and at 8.1% easy drinking, but packed with tropical flavor. 5

Overall this brewery has stormed onto the seen in NH and beer geeks are all talking about them, as they should! This is world class stuff. 4.75

From a 16oz can, dated 07/15/20. Served in a cervoise.

Pours a murky, milky, pale grapefruit juice-colour with two fingers of lush and lathery, pouffy suds. Retention is excellent, leaving a thick, creamy cap and scattered gobs of lacing.

Medium-intensity nose of creamsicle or birthday cake or something like that... soft, sweet and vanilla-y.

Taste is doughy-malty with low-to-medium bitterness and flavors of apricot and nectarine. Grapefruit-type bitterness builds into the finish and then, afterward, a faint plastic-like aftertaste which I am mostly able to tune out.

Feel is smooth and creamy, medium-thick, fluffy bodied with ample fine, tingly carbonation. No indication of the 8.1% abv. Spot on to the style.

Overall, a very good NEDIPA. I definitely preferred this iteration over the ‘nordic’ version. In fact, I’d suggest pitching the kveik yeast altogether if it weren’t such a totally lame-ass pun.
