Nice Things
Central Waters Brewing Co.

 

Drinks like an IPA with a much higher ABV. Smell, look, pour and upfront taste all excellent. Fades away on the back end, which is disappointing. Gets a higher rating from me just because its a hazy that doesn’t compel me to lie down after a glass or two.

 

Smell: I open the can it's definitely piney.... It's got me curious and it's going to be a hazy.... Nose is gorgeous... I don't always get such a sensation with the smell but this one's there...

Look: the vlpour's incredibly light SRM's ~4 but very hazy.... The pine smell is changes to an Orange / Citrus in the glass.. I know this is Lower ABV then those imperials like Tarapan luau passion fruit orange guava IPA... But this deliverance all the taste and all the aroma and all the feel with a bunch of sweetness and the right amount of bitterness... It just doesn't have marketing zing.... Yet this is such a better beer... If you care at all about taste...

Taste: the first taste is grapefruit and it turns pink to red grapefruit right away... That begins to sweeten intensely... Wow this really woke me up.... It's got my attention.... I want another sip it feels sweet but it feels balanced it feels citrusy it feels tropical it feels like a mixed drink with a little bit of bitter....

Yes this is yum! this is sweet This has honey in the background this says pineapple and mango all the way It's not subtle... Yeast in the is in the background but it is the backbone of its character... You know there's malt hiding in the background too... But this is all about the fruit and this is a barley drink wow... It's not high alcohol It's hazy It's yeasty it's juicy it's lovely... I'm amazed that we do get some lacing off the glass ... Because there was not good head retention... But I'm not taking more than a quarter of a point for that nonsense... I mean it's the protein doing its work... subtly but that's not the point... this one isn't going to last long.... Taste is more juicy than passion fruit orange guava made by terrapin out of Georgia! I had to check the bottom of this can for the laser marking to see the date Looking at the bottom of the can there's a date it looks like it's 4 months old from its manufactured date... Well that's longevity for beer It's delicious
.. looks like it was made September and I'm drinking this in January so I'm thinking they must have some pretty good process control at CW... And they are preventing Oxygen which quickly kills beer over time... This beer is still very much alive and very tasty...

It has a very boring subtle canart ... With a large deer does not even look native to Wisconsin... standing by a lake with groves of pine trees..... No skulls no helmets no Hawaiian garb... Just a low-key subtle contemplative scenery on a dull can with camouflage colors and pure water..... It's a "no Coast hazy " without extreme marketing or impulse buying is just good beer that's very drinkable at a moderate alcohol and reminds you of a place you want to go in the winter. If you live up north hey... Untuck yer flannel... And set by the fire!
Dream of the places where pineapples and oranges grow.

 

Nice Things pours a hazy pale yellow color, with a small, but long-lasting head. The aroma is mild, sweet, with hints of pineapple. The flavor is subtle, mild, and sweeter, with pineapple notes. Good feel. Overall, very crushable, with enough flavors, subtle, delicate, and very friendly.

Delicious. What a well balanced yet unique taste for an IPA. Lots of citrus and grapefruit. A very juicy IPA with plenty of flavor. Taste is delicious. Back of the pallet is so so but upfront it's delicious. A relatively low abv which I would normally attribute to lighter type beer but not with this. Really a nicely balanced delicious beer.

Pours a creamy colored, muted yellow with a one finger head. Aroma is very grapefruit and citrus. Taste is very much grapefruit. Hops are moderate, along with carbonation. This is a bright, easy to love hazy IPA.
