Twin Lights
Rockport Brewing Co.

Modest head but there's an excellent blanket of lace formed after each sip. The beer is hazy (not cloudy) with a neutral gold color.

Grapefruit rind aroma with a touch of sweetness.

The flavor mimics the smell. There's a solid semisweet malty base followed by a straight up bittering hop finish. The mouthfeel is richer than most DIPAs but the carbonation is also elevated. The finish is balanced with the bittering hop more like a spice than a main ingredient. Balanced but shorter aftertaste.

Drinking as part of a sampler at the brewery.
Pours a clear gold with a full head.
Some smell of pine.
Good mouth feel.
Some taste of pine, some bitterness, some sweetness.
Overall pretty nice

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance - The brew pours a very hazy orange color with a dense head of white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell - The aroma is strong of a tangerine and orange aroma mixed with some pineapple and guava. Other strong aromas of peach and apricot as well as a bit of grapefruit and pine hop round out the smell.
Taste - The taste begins with a sweet citrus of tangerine and orange as well as lots of grapefruit and some apricot and peach. Other tastes of a light herb and grass are there as well, remaining rather light throughout. As the taste advances the sweet increases a bit while the grapefruit fades a bit. Other flavors of hay and lots of breadiness develop, leaving one with a sweet and decently malty, moderately hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel - The body of the brew is thick and chewy with a lower carbonation level. For the style and tastes the feel is good making a rather easy sipper.
Overall - A good hazy overall. Nothing super spectacular but good none the less.

 

 

 

Fantastic next door brewery.

 

Can from tfontana, thanks for the trade!
Lightly hazy dark straw color with a good sized bubbly white head that persists. Orange grapefruit and lemony citrus with specs of earthy pine with sweet bready maltiness. Canned in DEC this isn't horribly fresh but really could be more hop forward!
