Tideland Brewing

 

Poured out of a 16 oz. can into my tulip glass, this beer pours a clear, fairly dark copper color with lots of streams of little bubbles fairly rapidly and continuously rising to the surface. Has a fluffy looking, white head that's about an inch thick when first poured. Head eventually settles to a thick film layer surface coating along with a thick ring lining the inside of the glass. Some good lacing here. Aromas of some bready, slightly toasted malts along w/ strong pine and citrus hop notes. A very similar flavor profile, with some bready, slightly toasted caramel malt w/ a bit of sweetness that's followed by a nice citrus and pine hop backbone with a good amount of somewhat dank, juicy, bitterness. The hop flavors certainly dominate the flavor profile here, but not overwhelmingly so. Quite a nice flavor profile indeed that's fairly simple and straightforward in the best of ways. Has a crisp, also smooth, just slightly oily, full bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. The flavors coat the inside of my mouth and linger nicely on my palate for awhile long after each sip.
