The Drowned Lands

I’ve been a big fan of The Drowned Lands lately, so most of their beers I see on Tavour are a no brainer to grab. This one is just pretty standard stuff for a NEIPA, but I’m sure they did a good job with it. Let’s just dive right in

Pours a hazy yellow gold with 3 fingers of soapy off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing

I’m digging the nose, but it’s pretty standard fare. I’m picking up on aromas of orange juice, pithy grapefruit, lemon zest, bready malt, papaya, weedy hops, and grass

Unfortunately in taste it gets a bit bland, but it’s still decent. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting orange juice, cantaloupe, bready malt, lemon zest, earthy hops, grass, light papaya, and dank weed. The swallow brings notes of orange juice, caramel malt, lemon zest, peach rings, papaya, weedy hops, and light grass

A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a silky beer. Finishes neutral and a tad sweet

This is just fine. A bit lacking in the flavor department but it’s not bad

This one pours a very hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like pineapple candy, peach, lemon, lime, and pine.

Drowned Lands does the style well - there's no burn or malt character here, just a simple juicy hop character going on - sweet pineapple, stone fruit, and lemon, mainly, with a fresh piney bitterness on the back end.

This is medium bodied, creamy, and pretty drinkable.

This isn't anything you haven't had a million times at this point, but it's done well with no discernible flaws to my palate.
