After Midnight
Shred Beer Company

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces very nicely.

S: Lively citrus, a bit grassy, green, and resinous, some tropical and stone fruit, red berries, crackery malt, and light caramel sweetness.

T: Opens with big resinous pine and zesty citrus, pink grapefruit, lime, tangerine, and lemon, followed by a mix of tropical and stone fruit, pineapple, mango, lychee, peach, apricot, raspberry, passion fruit, and a faint melon, a bit grassy and green, biscuity malt, and light caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, slightly prickly moderate carbonation, fairly soft on the palate.

O: Been wanting to see what Shred has to offer and this can made that happen. The artwork caught my eye first, then the hop combo sold me. It's bright and lively, fairly crisp, kind of a dryer West Coast take on a hazy IPA. Tastes like they hopped just shy of the burn line without going over. The Superdelic plays really nicely with a Citra while bringing some unique personality. I'm sold. Looking forward to trying more of their stuff going forward.

 

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden amber color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of orange peel, grapefruit, mango and caramel malt. Sweet fruity taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.
