Overcompensation
Against The Grain Brewery

 

 

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local beer store just around the corner. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with pine and bitter citrus hop finish. The mouthfeel was fuller in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

 

 

A: The beer is quite hazy yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high bright white head that died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of pineapple juice are present in the nose.
T: Just like the smell, the taste is dominated by flavors of tropical fruits—pineapples seem to stand out in particular—along with hints of cantaloupes. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. There is a bit of crispness in the mouthfeel, which is mostly noticeable towards the finish.
O: This beer is quite drinkable considering its strength and does a very good job at hiding any traces of alcohol from the taste. It's more like a New England style IPA and is quite "juicy" without being that bitter.
