Panic in Babylon
Modestman Brewing

 

16oz undated can.

Pours cloudy yellow with an inch-plus head of dense white head. Persistent retention with plenty of spongy lacing. Apricots, pineapple, peach in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Candied peach, mango, pear, apricots on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Finishes very juicy and tropical.

UNREAL! I just enjoyed this so much. Nelson hops done right. I LOVE Nelson hops done right! Just delicious. Just a great drinking experience. Lovely. 5.0

 

 

Deep thick and rich hearty yellow hazy pour into teku glass. Looks like a beautiful glass or luxurious orange juice. All those hops come full frontal come to the nose - hoppiness, stone fruits like peach, plum and apricot plus fresh cut grassiness and you get a little malt to boot. A blast of juicy stone fruit and the great hop combo on the palate but balanced with sweet bread backgrounds like a cinnamon bun. Really solid offering that leaves you with a creamy mouth coating and very little bite considering the ABV.

 

Look - whitish milky off yellow with almost clear rimming
Smell - fruity citrus oat
Taste - clean fresh fruit, citrus
Feel - medium full body with a medium carb
Overall - just delicious, odd look through

On draught at the brewery 1/12/22

Modest Man has changed the beer game in my hometown. The NE IPA's are top notch and this is no different.

Citra/Nelson Sauvin hops

Notes:
Lush, silky mouthfeel, creamy but with an earthy, spicy kick. Stone fruits, pepper and grains, dried pineapple and spicy citrus, white wine in the hop notes.

This is a classic. RIP Lee Scratch Perry!

Many thanks to SawDog505 for this can!

Canned on date: ???

A - Pours an opaque medium yellow orange color with frothy, dense, bubbly lacing resting on top. The foam sticks to the sides of the glass like glue.

S - Dank white grape, some onion spice, peppery fruit rind, and spicy peach / apricot.

T - Some spicy grape rind, spicy peach, onion, garlic, spicy peach, slightly herbal (but not much). There's a slight bit of alcohol presence on the back side.

M - Dense and chewy with a pillowy texture on the tongue. Dry on the back of the tongue while the rest of the mouth waters.

O - Dank and spicy. This one is worth checking out and overall, have really been impressed with this brewery. Thanks, Tim!

 

 

16 oz can into a tulip glass.

Pours an opaque yellow gold color with a monstrous creamy white head. Good retention. Leaves a crown of lacing along the top of the glass. Great looking NEIPA.

Citra and Nelson is definitely a hop duo just waiting to get arrested for drug possession. The aroma is vegetal and dank, as expected. However, there's a significant amount of fresh peach notes, as well as white grape, cracked pepper, and overripe mango. Spicy and exceptionally herbal.

The flavor truly showcases the versatility of hops: Sweet peach candy, sweaty onions and garlic, chardonnay, orange juice, grapefruit rind, and fresh mango. That's a weird ass cocktail. But it works.

The body is nearly full-bodied with lower carbonation. Pillowy soft and creamy as hell witha dry finish. The alcohol is nicely hidden.

Overall, this is a great NEIPA and I'm so happy my home state has a brewery cranking out hoppy beers like this. This one is dank, fruity, and surprisingly drinkable for an 8.4% ABV.

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 8/2/21. Pours a very hazy milky yellow with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves a thin wall lace with excellent retention. 4.75

Aroma is buttery Chardonnay, peach, mandarin, apricot, and a little grapefruit rind.4.5

Taste follows immediately get white grapes, peach, mandarin, apricot, and white grapefruit. 4.5

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, soft gentle carbonation, maybe a little dry, and at 8.4% really easy drinking. 4.75

Overall this very unique and the Nelson was used wonderfully. I would say it will be difficult to forget this beer and it might not be for everyone, but I am a big fan. 4.5
