Flux Capacitor
District Brewing

I am trying this beer off the tapper at the brewery as part of a four sample flight. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that left some lace. The scent had citrus and bittering hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp semi sweet malt base with citrus, hints of pine and bold finish hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

I had this beer on tap at the brewery in an IPA glass.

Appearance: rich orange hue with plenty of haze and a layer of frothy ivory foam, which leaves a nice lace on the glass.

Smell: sweet malt with a bit of a citrusy hop character. Volume could be turned up a little, but otherwise nice.

Taste: tropical and citrusy with enough sweetness to be pretty juicy in character. Bitterness is middle of the road, though there is also a mustiness to the hops that detracts a little bit. Overall it is good, though not without its flaws.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a nice IPA, it falls somewhere between a typical hazy and a classic American IPA. Flaws aside, I’m into it.

Served in knock-off Perfect Pint glass. Poured a lightly translucent, yet still murky, dark orange color with a half-inch of white head that had very low retention and light lacing.

The aroma was the expected and typical no-grain/frooty hop combo of the style.

The flavor profile was the same, but did have slight bite of hop bite for interest.

The body was the usual light of the style, with a medium-sweet finish.

Drinkability was fine, but likely another one-and-done for me.

Overall, another average-ish murkbomb.

I know, the cans say "Flux Capicitor" but on their website they have it spelled correctly, as in "Back to the Future." This is from the 16 oz cans seen around Skagit and Island County lately. Starts with a whiff of citrus, like darkly grilled oranges.

Pours a moderately hazy amber color with a nice pile of foam in the plastic motel cup. Sudsy mouthfeel with the usual astringency and pencil shavings finish. Flavors of orange with grapefruit peel and resiny evergreen needles. Overall this is not bad, I'd call it drinkable for a hazy IPA. Less oppressive acidity than many in this category.
