Von Ebert Brewing

 

Had this beer at their Cascade Station location in a flight. One of the WORST BEERS EVER. Tasted like it was watered down, no flavor, not much color, and a very slight bitterness. Bad keg or tied into waterline, don't know.

Hazy amberish brew but sticky, fine-grained foam. Aroma of Nehi Orange soda and old citrus. Rather sweet and sudsy mouthfeel. Taste is canned peach syrup and orange peel. Seems to get sweeter as you sip, and not much bitterness but distinct astringency in the finish. This is actually fairly drinkable but I do get tired of the orange juice spiked with Cointreau sweet taste. From the 16 oz can purchased at the Shell gas station. Dated 02/21/2/4 so it's just over a year old. But I always say the NEIPAs benefit from aging out some of the acidity.

 

Undated can, but seems fresh. Body is good, hazy but not murky. Nose is floral with added fruitiness. Head rapidly fades off, leaving lacing behind. Taste is a bit on the sweet side, but not overwhelming. The fruit carries through a long finish. Feel is good, very refreshing.

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. No date on the can that I can see.

Appearance: golden-yellow hue with plenty of haze and a relatively thin layer of ivory foam atop that didn’t stick around super long.

Smell: sweet malt aroma with a nice dose of mild citrus and light tropical aromas. It’s subtle, but well-composed.

Taste: moderately sweet malt with a kind of rind-ey citrus character. There’s a bit of sharpness to the hops here that I’m not in love with, but other than that it’s not bad.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a pretty good carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: there’s an element to the flavor here that’s not my favorite, but it does seem to be a well-put-together beer. Just not exactly my jam.

 

 

 

Cloudy light yellowish color. Nice foamy head with good lacing. Nose is citrus and dank. Taste is good. Loads of dank for a hazy. Overall good but not outstanding.

 

 

 

Pint at Westside Taphouse in West Salem OR.
$7.00
A really murkster. Peach flesh colored body. Barely existent white head..
Fruity aromas of course. Lime, mango, tangerine and apricot. But also has a certain tartness.
Mouth feel isn't too heavy and even finished a bit on the dry side.
Nice for a murkster.

been wanting to try this one for awhile, picked up a single can and my brother in law pillaged it while i was out of town, a shame, but finally got to it on tap. these guys have come to idaho hot, and ive liked pretty much all their stuff. the hoppy ones have not been weak, but they also dont come close to their lagers and wild beers so far, trendy but their weakest link to me. this one is hazy, saturated, and thick, not real drinkable, but plenty fresh and with a solid hop profile, it just takes a little more to turn my head in this style these days. thicker looking and feeling, the color of a hay bale, short white head but with decent staying power. smells and tastes about par for the course, but a little tropical vein runs through this to set it apart just enough, pure mango to me, juicy and ripe and real, with some light melon, orange, and even some vanilla, this is way modern. the body kills it though, clean this up guys come on! its heavy and wet and thick, not light and airy and even though it has good carbonation, its real filling. i like what the hops bring, but in the end this is just another hazy, and while its a little ahead of the curve, i still continue to love these guys for things other than their hops...

Taster at Growler Guys. Hazy yellow, skin of head, solid lacing. Light citrusy, grapefruit aroma with a hint of pine. Taste is grapefruit, citrus zest, very mild bitterness. Smooth.

 

Solid hazy. Juicy AF & hits all the notes.

Light golden cloudy color, white head, lots of fresh fruit aroma without any sweet malty notes. The body is relatively thick, but not overly dense. Pleasant fruit/hop finish.

Not a game changer, but a west-coast hazy done well. I would pick this up again and enjoy it in the backyard with the sunshine for sure.

16oz can (dated 2/17/21) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a fully murky pale yellow color with 1/2 inch of white head that had good retention and light lacing.

A burst of frooty hops jumped out of the can upon opening. Closer sniffing confirmed that; froot loops and no malt. Same on the tongue, frooty hops that dissipated quickly on the tongue.

The body was exceptionally light, smooth, and had a semi-sweet finish. Drinkability was OK, for a murkster. Overall, a slightly below version of the style.
