Pour this hazy IIPA & let the dank double dry-hopped aromas waft from the glass. This is the warning shot, you’re on the Brink of Disaster.

This wild rush of flavor is named after a Class V rapid on the Lower Meadow River in West Virginia. It’s packed with hops from around the world & a lush tropical fruitness flows across your tastebuds with hints of melon & apricot.
Drink on the Brink.

Hops: Nelson Sauvin, Jester, Styrian Dragon

I got a 6pck of this beer from my local Giant Eagle. The beer poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright citrus hop presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Description: Golden, dark straw color and cloudy in appearance. There isn't much head to speak of, but what does exist leaves some white lacing. Smell is deep and rich, with a big whiff of dankness upfront. Sweet, floral, melon notes also detectable. Taste is similar to smell and it's quite flavorful with more dankness, fruit and floral flavors. For 8% ABV, the alcohol is nicely hidden. Feel is smooth and almost meaty with low carbonation.

Overall: 4.25 (This beer is good and I would likely drink it again) This is a really good beer, on the verge of a great one. The brewer classifies this as a "double" NE IPA which perhaps explains its rich aromas and flavors. Great example of the style and one of the best I've had from Nocterra. If you get a chance, this is one to try.
