Elysian Altered Contact

This beer pours an amber/orange color with an almost non-existence head. Aroma is really dank and is a cross between tobacco and a wet blanket with some citrus fruit thrown in. I normally love DIPA's, but this one is not high on my list. Rated 4-14-2023

 

Poured in task flute glass. Nice color. Fast disappearing head. Sent off weed (big shock). Hints of fruits as it warms become more pronounced. Alcohol content delivers solid beer buzz. Not sure I would buy again because of corporate ownership. It came highly recommended and I felt compelled to give it a try. It's good but there's always better out there without woke ties.

Poured from a 12 ounce can dated experience by 8-17-24 into a tulip glass.

Look- Pale amber, slightly off white frothy
head, plentiful visible particulate, above average head retention, above average lacing.

Smell- Dank, clementine, mango, high strength of scent.

Taste- Grapefruit, herbaceous, earthy, candied orange, high strength of flavor.

Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, moderately bitter, very highly astringent, moderately creamy.

Overall- Appearance was pale amber with a ton of visible particulate. Bouquet was an appealing strong mix of dank and clementine. Flavor was overwhelmingly herbaceous and earthy to the point that it affected drinkability. Feel would have been nice, but the astringency was so high that it really affected my rating. This beer provided a nice aromatic experience, but flavor and feel led to a below average drinking experience.

 

 

 

 

Can states ale brewed with natural flavor. Not a fan of this. Clear golden color. White head.

Dank and weedy. Big resin. Floral hops and grapefruit citrus. It’s definitely west coast bomb. Excellent bitterness. I just wish I knew what the artificial flavors were. I find it odd that they need to add something to a west coast ipa. Would rate it higher otherwise.

 

Dank piney resin, herbal and hoppy taste profile. Very unique and quite delicious. Would not hesitate to add to regular IPA rotation if it was available year round in Texas.

 

 

This is the beer of my dreams. If you like dank IPAs, this is it.

12oz bottle from Albertsons. Bright, clear golden pour, thin, soft white soapy head. Dank aroma, orange peel. Taste starts and ends with musty, dank hops, light notes of citrus and caramel.

Pours golden with little to no head. The smell of dank weed hits as soon as you pop the cap. It's intense. How do they get it to smell like that? I mean it's straight up weed smell every time you raise the glass to take a drink. Tastes like alcoholic bong water with a bad after taste, not great. Seems like more of a novelty. Disappointing considering how good Space Dust is, but the psychedelic play on the Space Dust graphics are cool.

Light gold in color. The nose is dankness, skunk, pine, and a heavy aroma of weed. Taste is a bit different. You get more pine and a little of the weed and skunk, but as the beer warms you start noticing tropical fruits. Very interesting taste. Has a medium mouthfeel and the alcohol is hidden well. This is a very good DIPA and I'll definitely be purchasing more. If you don't like dank IPA's, stay away from this one.
