16oz can
Says on the can that they use artificial flavoring and color.
Pours a little over a finger of creamy white head into my willi becher, quickly settles to a finger. Retention is outstanding, 5 minutes in and the damn thing hasn't budged. Initial lacing looks amazing. Body is hazy is, but a fair amount of light is coming through; I don't really care too much either way. Dark orange in color, looks like beer, not a milkshake. Overall a really good looking beer so far.
Nose is a little odd here, a little bit of a sharp tang to it, I guess that’s what they were kinda going for. Dry, but also a chemical aroma, maybe stale cheese hops, cardboard, there are a lot of aromas popping into my head and none of them are good. It doesn't smell like beer at all, not even a hazy, it smells like paper with tangerine soaked into it. It doesn't smell...terrible, just, what's going on here?
Flavor is better. Still doesn't really taste like beer, just kinda juice. I know people always throw around the word juice like its candy, but this is actually juice. Not really anything in the way of a hop flavor. I also find myself in an awkward position where I actually want oat and wheat flavors in my IPA, because there is no malt character here either. I mean this is just, what?!
While I did let this sit for a minute, in a pretty nucleating glass, it's pretty darn flat. The body is not too thin, its got a small amount of weight to it. Basically no bitterness at all. Overall pretty sub par.
Drinkability is fine I guess, but why am I drinking this?
The appearance oddly remained fantastic. The head eventually died out, but overall lasted an impressive amount of time. Lacing was extremely thick.
Overall one of the weirdest "beers" I've had in a while. A pretty huge miss, coming from a brewery that I don't love, but certainly don't hate, and one that has done a better job focusing its efforts on small batch beers; not this time.
After further inspection I see that they literally put Tang in this beer. Obviously - not a good choice.
