On The Loose
Tripping Animals Brewing

Canned 8/3/24 (6 weeks ago)

Appearance: Pours a mostly hazy (30% clarity) medium, but deep, rich, and bright orange/golden color that radiates. A strong white head. SRM of 8. (4.25)

Aroma: Strong aromas of lush orange, pineapple, melon, mango, and peach. (3.75)

Flavor: Strong flavors of orange, tropical peach and melon. Some pineapple and passionfruit back it up. A smooth and sweet malt body. (4.00)

Feel: Medium to heavier bodied, strong carbonation. Finishes sweet, smooth, and tropical. (4.00)

Overall: A DIPA from Tripping Animals in collab with Mast Landing up in Maine. Citra, Simcoe, and Idaho 7. Orange, peach, pineapple, and passionfruit. Smooth and sweet malt body. Hides the alcohol well. It's nothing too memorable, but it's enjoyable and decent for the ABV. (Rating: 3.96)

Can from Merchants Sept 2024

Disappointing collab, kind of a miss considering the breweries

Barely opaque light gold; tight white head; ok cap retention; solid ring and soapy lace. Orange and tropical fruit nose. Taste follows nose; mild orange and passion fruit flavors; firm malt base. Dusty dry tongue coating (Cryo); medium light body; light carbonation; no astringency. Overall a perfectly solid, average HazyLite with minimal flavor.

 

16oz can. No dating information found. A collaboration brew with Mast Landing Brewing Company.
Murky, pale gold colored body, with white chunks of residue. Thin white head which does not last very long. Leaves behind partial walls of lacing.
Aroma of overripe pineapple and orange.
Taste is overripe pineapple, orange, melon, and a bit of onion and mint. Low bitterness level.
Thicker mouth feel, and a soft texture. Creates some buzz and zing on the tongue. Okay carbonation.
Typical hazy NEIPA sweet flavors, but contributes some pop rock effects in the mouth.

Aroma is strong/bitter citrus/peel and alcohol, very pungent all around. The flavor is fruit, malts and a hoppy/slightly alcoholic/bitter citrus peel finish.

 

 

 

Poured a dense orange-gold body with minimal head and lace patches down the glass. The aroma had notes of earthy hops along with mild grapefruit and a hint of stone fruit (not what I expected at all). Slightly herbal, even a little spicy, a mild acidity from the hops but almost no bitterness and there is a mild tropical fruit sweetness in a clean finish.
