All Together
Ex Novo Brewing

This was the twenty-fifth iteration of All Together that I was able to get my hands on, and the only one not from this area as I traded for this with a friend who was able to get his hands on a few cans of this. Never had anything from Ex Novo before and this was in line with the other versions of this that I had, as it was smooth, easygoing, and contained just enough body to be fulfilling!

Of course, the pour to this was golden, cloudy, and relatively uniform in hue. Enough head topped it off as it softly settled but there was very little lacing left behind as there were spotty hints of rings near the middle of my pint glass. Lots of melon, dank hops, earthiness, and oats in the nose as the taste followed suit. Tropical, turbid, balanced, and slick, there were hints of overripe stone fruit and citrus pith in the taste that made this heavy in taste although it's consistency was slick and juicy. Heavy grapefruit, a bit of fruit cocktail, and a basic malt rounded out the taste as this went down nicely, with little carbonation to get in the way.

The amount of alcohol was spot-on as it was present, but not strong enough to be a deterrent. Some cracker and chewiness countered the flavors as the finish was clean, slick, and just a bit outdoorsy. Canned on 5/24, this held up well over the last 2 1/2 months as there wasn't any sediment in it. Enjoyed this beer although it might have been just a bit too green for some, as it was a nice variation from the other All Togethers that I reviewed on here.

 

Very Hazy pale gold with two fingers of white bubble head. Splotches of lace appear as the head drops.
Smell is citrus orange and bready malt.
Taste is tart citrus orange grapefruit zest and bready malt.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with good carbonation. Finish is lightly dry and fairly bitter.
Overall a pretty fair hazy IPA. Canned on date 05-24-2020.
