Collaboration with Counterweight Brewing Co.

We cooked up a ridiculous DIPA with spelt, oats and wheat and hammered it with Citra, Vic Secret and Idaho 7. Turns out that these were all great ideas, because this is straight tropical goodness. Juicewolves rejoice.

16oz can poured into HF willi beecher

Wow! Super creamy feel to this one. Pungent hop on the nose. Also on the tastebuds, but not prickly. Fruit pounds the hop bitterness down. Grapefruit peel, tropical mush, strawberry-banana Julius smoothie, washed away pine. Mellow enough to hide the higher ABV. Stellar brew, teetering on the peak of perfection.

Yes, I went 4.75 across the board. IMHopinion it’s That good.
Having a brewmaster creating Top Shelf NE style IPA’s close to home?
Yes Please! I have a friend who lives in Havastraw NY and I tell him
“Don’t you know you have a local Brewer who is brewing IMHOpinion, world class NEIPA’s ?!?”
Everyone, and I mean Everyone is brewing IPA’s and riding the “NEIPA Train”
BUT
Hopefully Quality will keep this brewery on top.

OK, pontification over. The review:

Look: well its counter weights fault it looks funny ! (Kidding!!!) or maybe not.. HMMmmm
Ok a more hazy yellow in a darker hue kind of way.
It’s still a Juice Bomb by look.
Smell:
Oh yes! The signature IndArts is there citrus, pineapple a juice bomb.
Taste: Yes I said juice bomb 3 times!
But distinctive from Wrench and Torque Wrench.
Fuller bodied in a yeasty kind of way.
Like Torque Wrench’s cousin from Connecticut came to visit. It’s in the family no doubt definitely Ind Arts with a spin from counterweight.
Feel:
UMMMMMMM PRIVATE always... I am consistent in my reviews (no Feel)
Overall:
Another Winner
Purchased one 4 pack, if there waa more , yes I oiled purchase another 4 pack.
(From the brewery/Keg must be another level if they did that.)
Jeff... Jeff... Jeff.. Jeff.. (insert BigBangtherory Shelon impression here...
Keep up the good work.

Poured from a 16 oz can released 3 days ago.

A: A Hazy deep yellow reminiscent of clogged up sink water. Perfect for the style
S: Grapefruit, orange, papaya. Citrus bomb.
T: This is fruity and juicy with tangerine, grapefruit, papaya . A great bitterness that offsets the fruit and an underlying dankness.
MF: Crisp and clean. no alcohol burn.
O: I am a huge fan of what Chief is doing at IA. This feels like it fits right in with the other beers they are brewing. I am not familiar with CounterWeight, but if they are brewing anything close to this they are doing great things. This beer just might be there best yet. I am wowed by how good this is.

Tall can, purchased at the brewery by a buddy who shared w/ me

4/5/18 stamped on the side of the can...yeah fresh beer, 2 days in the can

Fully clouded NEIPA kinda pour, lasting light khaki cap, leaves nice lookin fine sheeting

Loaded with ripe tropical fruits, with pineapple coming to mind...dank, flavorful and delicious.

Soft, smooth and luscious as it flows across the tongue.

Another world class take on the NEIPA style from IABC...not sure how much of this was made...but I'd go out and purchase/trade for some ASAP.
