One Year Anniversary
Abomination Brewing Company

poured from a 16oz can - not dated

Abomination One Year Anniversary 1-finger white head sat atop of a light hazy golden/yellow body. The head dissipated to a collar of foam with no lacing present. Citrus dominates the nose with scents of; grapefruit, peach, pear and lemon. The taste follows the nose dominated by citrus with only a very light hint of raspberry. The lactose and vanilla seem to balance the dry hopped Ale to help the Ale from becoming too bitter. The high-medium bodied Ale had fine carbonation, a light creamy mouth feel, and a light and dry hoppy finish.

Overall, the Ale is very drinkable for 10.5 ABV with lower bitterness for the style.

Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 10.5% after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic fruited NETIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, berries, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV, with the modestly bitter/resinous/tart/tangy/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, and not aggressive. Fantastic Galaxy, Citra profile. Extremely juicy/vibrant balanced hops/fruit, with some dank/earthy notes; with a nice sized lactose, vanilla, and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect.
