Ninja Dust
One Barrel Brewing Company

Smooth and simply delightful

 

 

 

 

Ninja Dust pours a hazy, golden color with a medium-sized, long-lasting head. The aroma is a sweet earth. The flavor is lighter, sweet earth note, a hint of pinesol. The feel is a light light. Overall, it's a lighter IPA, a tiny bit sweeter

 

12 oz. can, canned 10/20/2022. Not my ideal range of freshness, but not horrible either. I don't give a fuck, we're here for a good time, not a long time. My second beer from One Barrel Brewing Company.

Poured to Central Waters stemware.
A: Hazy, juicy, murky. Not quite "orange juice" but it looks like some peach-ish nectar if you know what I'm sayin. Small finger of thin wispy white head doesn't hold for too long. Spotty lacing.
S: Aroma is still bright & tropical. Lots of banana, mango, peach, papaya
T: Tropical fruit, but slightly on the watery side.
F: Smooth, crisp, slightly refreshing. Not overly sweet or phenolic.
Would definitely be better fresh, damn you Woodman's.

One Barrel Brewing Company Ninja Dust -----3.75/5

 

 

 

Finger plus head, frothy with a fairly even surface, just off white to eggshell white, average retention, lacing comprised of large splotches slowly sinking downwards. The nose is juicy as the name suggests, tangelo to grapefruit citrus, damp leafiness, peach, pineapple, grape, sort of fruit cocktail like nose, biscuit and cracker, pleasingly stays to basics and isn’t at all pushy or such. Medium and closer to light-bodied, good tightness in the carbonation, prickly and fresh. Mild dankness, particularly through the attack, leading into pineapple, green melon, kiwi to apricot fruit flavors. Again, thick biscuity presence, adds some body. Texture is overall dry. Mix of sweeter citrus fruit, no real bite. Shows best with a solid chill on it. Offers very nice sessionability. (Canned 6/14/21, Consumed 7/10/21)
