Eleven Lives & Still Wandering
Abomination Brewing Company

Can dated 01/30/23 into pint glass. Pours a murky light gold color with a substantial off-white head. Great lacing! Initial impression is sweet orange, tropical fruits, pineapple, and caramel. Mouthfeel is smooth, thick, and sticky. Finish is sweet citrus. Overall, a quite tasty DIPA, although perhaps a tad sweet for my tastes.

I tried this beer off the tapper as part of a four sample flight at Roscoe's Coffee Bar & Tap Room in Richmond, Indiana whilst witnessing a massive industrial fire on their patio. It poured a hazy golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had dank tropical citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base and musty tropical fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

16oz can. Poured out a thick, cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of orange peel, grapefruit, guava and sweet caramel. Great tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a mild piney bitterness.

 

Who says that cats only have nine lives? Teaming up with Fat Orange Cat, Abomination brewing gives this cat new life in making an imperial hazy IPA that looks alive with Lotus, Cashmeere, Citra and Mosaic hops.

Eleven Lives and Still Wandering pours pastel orange with a creamier taupe appearance. Matte at a glance, the heady ivory froth reveals a perfume of cream candy, citrus, tropical fruit and a light herbal grassiness. Creamy also on the palate, an upstart of vanilla cream, coconut, cereal, honey and shortcake frame a malty introduction.

As the hop flavors unfold, a bold taste of tangerine, mango, pineapple, apricot, peach and lime align for a full and fruity hop taste as the malt sweetness and creaminess starts to relax. As the hops develop further, the taste of passionfruit, papaya, pawpaw, wine and hemp form a nearly tangy taste late on the palate. A smooth bitterness follows to take an edge off of the fruit and cereal with an herbal spice of hemp, gin, tea and cedar.

Full, creamy and plush on the tongue, the beer fishes both creamy and bitter with a spicy aftertaste of gin-like botanicals and a continuance of spruce and tea. its a delicious, smooth but common taste among the stronger New England IPA crowd.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 9/8/20, so this is 9 months old. Yikes.

Standard NE ipa look in the glass. Hazy orange juice colored body. Small white head shrinks to a ring. A little lacing early on.

Musty fruit aroma with a little spice.

On tasting, despite the age, it's still a good drink. Seems dry hopped. A little spice. Still juicy, but also somewhat dry.

Mouth about medium, finish a warm abv fruit dry combination.

Overall, decent drink. My first experience with an "old" NE ipa. Do they just age better than regular ipas? Other reviews bring up citrus and grapefruit, which I'm not really getting here. Food (or beer) for thought.

 

Poured from a pint can into a snifter glass. Two fingered white head with some lacing. Body of the beer is apricot in color, opaque. The aroma is citrusy with hints of grapefruit and plums. First sip that grapefruit taste comes thru, followed by a slowly elevating hops taste for a clean finish that masks the 8.8% abv. A fine example of the DIPA style.
