Five Deadly Venoms Vitamin Sea Brewing IPA - New England / Hazy

A very nice crisp, then juicy feel that gets soft and fluffy going down. Wow. Full of ripe tropicals, like pineapple, minty mango, peppery pine and black tea hop flavors. This one is a luxury cruise for palate and taste buds. Complexity is very high for 6

16oz can dated 1/5/23.

Pours cloudy gold with an inch of white fluff. Pungent in the nose with peach, orange, mango. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Pithy citrus on the palate with minimal malt and a balancing bitterness. Peach flesh, orange pith, pineapple skin. Finishes a bit raw and green.

 

Pours a hazy, cloudy, opaque drab yellow-orange color. Tons of large, chunky white globules drop out of the can and end up in the bottom of my glass. Thin white sudsy head forms on the beer before dissipating leaving, ultimately, no residual head on the beer.

Aroma has notes of mango, citrus, orange, tangerine with a bit of a weedy/grassy hop note coming through on the back end.

Taste follows the nose with notes of mango, orange, tangerine, papaya, and a general citrus note giving way to a mildly bitter, but pretty dank/weedy finish. the malts provide a doughy, biscuity character to the beer.

Feel is full bodied, smooth, creamy. Light gentle carbonation.

Overall this is a nice NE style IPA.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a can glass.

Pours an opaque bright orange color with 2 fingers of frothy white head. The head is quite persistent, leaving a fair amount of sticky lacing before ultimately settling into a thick cap of foam.

The aroma is a touch faint, bringing notes of oranges and tangerines, as well as honeydew melon and fresh mangoes. There's a sweet, graham cracker malt character on the back end with the absolute foggiest hint of earthy pine.

The flavor starts with a ton of citrus; namely grapefruit and oranges. There's some pineapples and mangoes, as well as some guava and cantaloupe. There's a nice grainy malt backbone, with a rindy and bitter finish.

The feel is medium bodied with soft carbonation. Exceptionally creamy and smooth. Pillowy soft with a dry finish. There's a subtle, lingering bitterness that coats the tongue. Perfect mouthfeel.

Overall, a great IPA that is "juicy" and full of fruity hop flavor. The mouthfeel is absolutely perfect. The only knock is the rather pedestrian aroma but other than that, this beer is excellent.
