Abominable Snowman
Abomination Brewing Company

 

If the holiday season is supposed to be fluffy and bright, then Abomination's marshmallow hazy IPA is one for the season.

Pouring a creamy and tarnish gold, Abominable Snowman builds a full and creamy froth that plays host to impressive floral scents wrapped around citrus, tropical fruit, citrus, herb and vanilla cream. Expected sweetness coats the tongue with cereal, marshmallow fluff and sugary vanilla. As a middle palate of tangerine, pineapple, mango, passionfruit and grapefruit blooms, a patient transition toward a smoothly bitter finish peppered with cannabis, spruce and citrus peel.

Full bodied, creamy and plush, the "milkshake" treatment of hazy IPA makes for a more flavorful session especially for those with a sweet tooth, but the refreshment and drinkability is hindered to some degree. This Snowman finishes with a fruity, sweet and bitter interplay that leaves the palate with a chewable vitamin vibe.

Aroma is sweet citrus/fruit, piney hops and huge marshmallows. The flavor is fruit/sweet citrus, malts/grains and a slightly tart/big marshmallow/piney/bitter hop finish.
