Abomination Brewing Company

Abomination tasty as usual, fruity loops, a bit dank, not my fav abomination but solid

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on June 21, 2020.

 

A: The beer is very hazy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a short white head that left some specks of bubbles on the surface, a narrow collar around the edge, and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of honeydew melon are present in the nose along with underlying notes of oranges and hints of grapefruit.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of honeydew melon along with hints of grapefruit. There is a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is exceptionally juicy and does a very good job at hiding any traces of alcohol from the taste.

Serving type: can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: Pours a milky murky pale yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + pale orange + pale golden yellow + apricot + peach colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense pillowy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of thick film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy overripe tropical/mango + tropical/pineapple + citrus/grapefruit + tropical/papaya + honeydew melon + tropical/passionfruit + citrus/orange hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + honey + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of honey-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + honey + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of honey-like sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy overripe tropical/mango + tropical/pineapple + citrus/grapefruit + tropical/papaya + honeydew melon + tropical/passionfruit + citrus/orange hops which impart a very light amount of bitterness which fades away very quickly leaving big lingering tropical + citrus hop flavors.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Very enjoyable with big tropical + citrus hop flavors and aromas. I could easily have a couple of these - delicious.

 

 

 

Cloudy yellow with a sudsy cap and lacing. Mango, papaya, grapefruit, melon and mild earthy and vegtable hops but has a strange rubber aroma in there too the detracts. Super ripe version of the smell fruits plus pear, lemon, bubblegum, and almost a dry champagne yeast, with mild onion hops. Super strange all together but I dig it. The feel is very familiar: juicy to dry by the finish, bright, gets airy through the sip and decently dank feeling.
