When I moved from Michigan to Colorado ~9 years ago, I clearly remember my first beer purchase, Avery IPA. I wonder if this will be as memorable as my first purchase after moving to San Diego. Decided not to go with anything crazy unique or pricey. Bought this 4-pack from Bine and Wine in San Diego, CA. ~$13 for a 4-pack of 16 oz cans. Canned 07/01/21, consumed 07/24/21 (first consumed 07/13/21).

A&S: The appearance is a dull-looking light mustard color. No lively carbonation. The fizzy white head dissipates quickly without leaving lacing. Aroma isn't very pungent until it is provoked. The smell is mostly citrus (lemon and orange zest) with hints of floral hops.

T&M: Very juicy and refreshing. The taste consists of tropical fruits (acai and passionfruit), I am also getting grapefruits and lemon. Not super complex, but tasty. One of the most enjoyable qualities of this beer is the bitterness in the finish. This beer perfectly walks the line of not being overly bitter like a normal IPA and not having any bitterness, as some hazy IPAs do. Along with the taste, the mouthfeel is also quite enjoyable. The body is medium, but the carbonation is light and bubbly adding some sting to the tongue.

Overall: I have had the opportunity to have a couple of Beachwood's beers over the years. Nothing as fresh as this one, and this was definitely my favorite. Would recommend. Looking forward to trying more.

 

 

Proper cloudy look, dank hop notes on the nose with lovely mango notes, taste is ace with west coast famous hops backed by juicy New England IPA flavor. Real easy on the tongue and too easy to crush 'em back. Beachwood, as seemingly always, does it again!

 

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on October 23, 2020.

 

Poured from a 1 pint can. Canned on 03/17/2020. 45 IBU's. Mosaic, Citra & Galaxy Hops
A big frothy pour kind of like a fizzy pop. A big tropical nose.
Lots of pineapple and mango for taste.
Overall a pretty good NE. Nice it made it to Canada.

Cloudy amberish color with coarse foam in the Maredsous goblet. Quite acidic and wholly hopped up. Murk in the back of the throat. All thoroughly fruity. Green melon and peach aroma. Tastes of tart apricot, orange peel, and green beans.

Overall a drinkable NE style beer, but it seems like a waste of good hops. Maybe it is just the Beachwood propensity for more bitterness than necessary. But if you want to review new beers these days you have to go with the haze. From the 16 oz can purchased at Bine & Vine in San Diego.
