AnthroHOPhagous
Abomination Brewing Company

 

Hazy yellowish brew with plenty of foam in the tall goblet. Quite aromatic with the whole spectrum from pine to pineapple. Pleasantly sudsy with plenty of spritz on the tongue. Flavors of orange, grapefruit peel, and fruit cocktail (heavy syrup).

Ridiculously hoppy, but not unhappily bitter. It would be fairly sippable except for the leave-no-prisoners acidity from all the hops. Contract brewed by Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore, NY for Abomination. This must be another of the eastern oddities that came from Best Damn in San Diego.

 

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Milky, hazy pour, chunks of sediment, thick fluffy head. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Thick feel, flavor full of hops, backed up by citrus. Bursting at the seams with hoppy goodness.

 

 

 

Odd tasting NE IPA

 

Dirty yellow and hazy body, like pineapple and grapefruit juice combined; thick, billowy head with sticky patches of foam clinging to the glass. Heavy sweetness to the smell; old, ripened fruit. Sweet and grain-like flavors; powdered sugar; wheat; grapefruit and some low-key citrus elements; very bitter; boozy. Heavy, velvety mouthfeel; initial juicy sweetness and finishes warm and dry.

Hops certainly highlight this beer, not delivering much in the aroma department, but certainly with the taste and bitterness.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a one finger creamy white head. Tons of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is orange peel, tangerine and grapefruit.

T - The taste mango, tangerine, pineapple, orange, grapefruit rind and light bitter hops.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a nice soft finish.

O - Really enjoyed this one. Overripe tropical fruits with a nice hop bite.

16oz can served in a pint glass. Don't see a date.

Pours hazy pale yellow/orange with a smallish head and medium to high carbonation. Smell is mildly tropical, unripe mango or orange/lemon rind.

Taste is much more tropical and juicy, but I can't pin down the fruit very well. Not too sweet, though, and moderate bitter finish.

Mouthfeel is fairly light. Overall, good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 7/2019. Pours opaquely hazy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, guava, blueberry, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, guava, blueberry, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, guava, blueberry, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.6%. Overall this is an awesome NEDIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; awesome soft feel and not aggressive. Awesome complex hop bill of BRU-1, Galaxy, Simcoe, Denali, Pacific Jade, Vic Secret, Summer, Ella, Belma, Loral, and Mosaic. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example as expected.
