Measure Twice
Industrial Arts Brewing Company - Beacon

Wow nice deep golden hazy with a big head, let’s give er a try. Not as potent as I would have liked in the nose but a nice fruity hoppy scent. Interesting fruity and piney nose, very nice with slight bitterness. Medium feel with less carbonation.

 

A: Poured from the can into a tulip glass. Body is hazy dark golden, bordering on spicy brown mustard in color. Small whitish head disappears quickly. Some lace left behind.

S: Juicy, fruity hops - pineapple juice, ripe melon, melon rind and faint earthiness. Not a really strong nose, but a pleasant one.

T: Earthy tropical fruit - think some pineapple, ripe melon, melon rind. Lime and pine needles at the finish.

M: Full-bodied - this is definitely an Imperial/Double IPA, with full heft. Slightly syrupy.

O: Solid. Not sure it's worth $20 per 4-pack but I'm glad to try it.

 

!6 ounce tall can, with a "PKG" date of 10/7/20...yeah freshie...in the can for less then a week.

Pours FULLY hazed, with a milk shake kinda feel to it.. Lasting frothy cap, and leaves all sorts of fine bubble lacing behind on the glass. Nice looking brew.

Pungent tropical fruit infused sniff....with a wave of pineapple bursting forward.

Waves of the sniff on the palate, more pineapple, mango, soft grapefruit and lime....world class example of the NEIPA style, full flavor, fresh tasting, tropical, thick/rich/milkshakey, delicious, worthy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high dense bright white head that died down but consistently left a short head covering the surface and a thick coating of bubbles running down the sides of the glass.
S: Strong aromas of tropical fruits are present in the nose, with pineapples and passionfruit seeming to stand out in particular.
T: The taste follows the smell and has strong tropical flavors of pineapple and passionfruit along with some hints of lime and pine in the finish. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. There is a touch of crispness to the mouthfeel.
O: This beer seems like a hybrid between a New England IPA and an Imperial IPA. It's really packed with a lot of aromas and flavors of tropical fruits and hides any traces of alcohol.

Serving type: can

Poured from a 16oz can into a Speiglau IPA glass.

Look is a hazy light orange with a thick head.

Aroma is light mango.

Taste is a bright light mango citrus.

10oz pour at brewery
Hazy orange with creamy white head
Tropical fruity aroma
Fruity up front, bitter and a burn on the back end
Good feel up front, but the burn kills it on the back
Overall it's a good beer but the hop burn lowers the overall experience

 

Served on tap in a 10 oz (296 ml) nonic style glass at the Industrial Arts Brewing Company.
A: Pours a very hazy/cloudy, golden orange color (think unpolished brass) with a two finger, off white head, solid good retention and lacing.
S: Aromas of grapefruit, pineapple, unripened peach, lemon zest, coriander, pine, and maybe a touch of unprocessed grains.
T: Semisweet to semidry. The palate follows the nose with an emphasis on grapefruit, spice (especially coriander) and grains. Solid pepper/cumin bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with robust carbonation. Solid mouthfeel.
O: I really enjoyed this DIPA, which appears to be the top of the food chain at IABC.

Canned on 6/4/2019. Poured into an Industrial Arts pint glass. It pours a turbine orange-yellow with brown hues and a large, foamy, bright white head and thick lacing. The fragrant nose features lemon, apricot, onion, tangerine, pineapple, pine needles, and resinous hops. The taste explodes with fruit: lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, other sweet tropical fruit, and resinous pine. It's nicely dank. The Vic Secret hops adds its special flavor and the Citra and Idaho 7 a bitter fruitiness. It finishes with a peppery astringency. The mouth feel is rich and thick with a pleasant level of carbonation. Overall, Measure Twice is simply top shelf. While I don't think Industrial Arts started out to brew fruity IPAs, it clearly excels at this style, which proves the brewery's versatility and skill. This is a very fine offering.

 

Picked up a 4 pack at a local beer distributor in Mahopac, NY.

A - Hazy golden orange/yellow with a nice frothy/creamy off-white head.

S - Very aromatic. Tropical fruits, buttery/creamy, hint of booze and yeast.

T - Banana, melon, creamy citrus, lingering pepper/spice, outrageously smooth.

M - Smooth, creamy with a peppery/acidic bite. Mellow carbonation.

O - I very much enjoyed this beer. Deceptively strong, its got this orange creamsicle vibe yet its resinous and spicy. I like it better than LFL Sip of Sunshine.
