Fresh Flow
Block 15 Brewing - Southtown Tap Room

Poured from 16oz can into my Bell's tulip. Canned 5/19/25.

Appearance: medium yellow hue with plenty of haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam. The can calls this a hazy IPA, and it definitely looks like one.

Smell: moderately sweet malt with tropical passionfruit notes and some nice orange peel. Right in my wheelhouse.

Taste: like the aroma, there's some sweetness, but it's balanced by a slightly bitter orange peel type of thing. There's less of the tropical character than in the aroma, so it's not quite as enticing, but still good.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: a really solid hazy; I'm finding it quite drinkable and honestly at 6.5% it's lower ABV than a lot of hazies out there. A very good summer brew.

 

This was a Father’s Day gift which my son nailed as I love this beer. The beer has a fruity smell and taste of water melon, peach, and tart apple. The glass has lacing on all sides as you drink it down. The beer is never too sweet and fruit is mild and well balanced. I highly recommend this beer.

L - somewhere between clear and hazy lies... unfiltered. Not a ton of lacing, decent head for a bit. Not its strongest features.
S - mile cut lime/grass and yes, dank weed notes here. There's an edge of sweet tropical "something" on the nose but only in the
T - taste does it come through; a little guava mild melon, some pineapple, more of that cut weed note with some grass. Not a cat pee impression at all.
F - Good carbonation and mouthfeel; can come off as a little monotone, but I think there's a bit underlying complexity here, where the fruit threatens one thing (coconut?) and then it just drops off a cliff before getting too dry and bitter.
O _ another solid Block 15 effort, really interesting mix. IF they used Sabro in this, then it's well managed and mitigated.

Look: Murky light orange with a frothy white head that swells up and holds as a pillow, slowly cratering and leaving great lacing behind
Aroma: Mango, melon, peach, blueberries, pineapple, strawberries & cream, wafts of Cannabis, pine, and sweet bready malt
Taste: Peach, mango, and mixed berries come out swinging as melon and pineapple slowly filter into the fold. As the fruit onslaught fades, Cannabis and pine really shine before the fruit salad returns to close, along with a nice hop bite
Mouthfeel: Full, medium-high carbonation, very soft throughout except on the finish, which is mildly dry and astringent
Overall: This is tasty stuff. I’m not a huge hazy IPA fan but leave it to one of my favorite breweries in this state to try and change my mind. An awesome fruit salad with berries on the nose and equally so on the taste, along with a non-chalky/chewy mouthfeel, plus a hop bite. I can dig this

A: The beer is very hazy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high bright white head that left a thin head covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of pine are present in the nose along with notes of grapefruit and orange citrus.
T: The taste follows the smell and mostly starts off with flavors of orange citrus and finishes with pine. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and quite crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA does a good job at providing contrasting flavors of citrus and pine in the taste.

Serving type: can

 

 

 

16oz can packaged 05/11/21.
Hazy golden with two fingers of dense head. Heavy lacing left down the glass. Not much going on in the aroma besides some mild dankness. Flavor is a bit too sweet for me but has some good hop flavors. Hints of weed, grapefruit, hay, and tropical fruit. Solid body, texture, and carbonation. Too sweet and not bitter enough which I say about just every IPA nowadays.

 

 

Hazy gold with three fingers of bone color head. Rings and swathes of lace appear as the head drops.
Smell is dank green and fruity hops.
Taste is dank green fruity hops with bread crust malts.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with good carbonation level. Finish is dry and medium bitter.
Overall a fine beer from a great brewery.

 

 

Some haze on the yellowish brew, and modest white foam in the big Duvel tulip. Plenty of suds on the tongue with a crisp, almost acidic mouthfeel. Aroma of peach and orange peel. Fairly sweet with lots of malt. Flavors of orange juice, apricot, more canned peaches.

This is a pleasant hazy sort of IPA, though I don't think I'd call it in the "New England" style since it doesn't seem to have much of the gratuitous grains that add more murk to prime specimens. Overall it's a seriously fruity hoppy beer that tastes stronger than its average ABV. From the 16 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham.

 

 

draught
Grapefruit peel smell/taste, in a small way. A bit lighter in body than average IPA.
