Midnight City
Connecticut Valley Brewing

 

 

A: Bright orange juice like coloring, dense and juicy, has a one finger eggshell white head that was moderately lasting. A very strong rush of carbonation, macro-bubbles release from the vessel bottom.

S: Peaches and mangoes are bright and forefront, wet and juicy, along with some wet citrus and tropical sense. Fruity of white grapes and dank pine. Good strength overall, fresh and dripping wet, full of whirlpool hops.

T: Lots of dank and juicy hop resins are sticky like fresh pine bursting with bright peaches, mangoes and bright tropical flavors. Pineapple and juicy oranges, juicy pine and some passion fruit are fruity and fresh. Breakfast juice like flavor, citrus-pine sticky hop resins provides a sharp twang along with some dank floral on the swallow.

M: Dank and juicy mouthful is full and creamy based, sticky hop resins along with a active carbonation feel. Lactose.

O: Bright and juicy hop bomb, has a huge sticky resin and creamy malt base that is a meal within itself. Very good and outstanding drinking, great appearance, nose and flavor with a beautiful and most notable mouthful makes this complete all around.

Baby food dark yellow with the weirdest, bubbly head that--and I can't help but call it like I see it--looks crazily transparent like piss foam, quickly dying to nothing.

Smell is sharp orange zest and acidic mango with an overabundance of green hops.

Taste is cantaloupe and melon with aspriny acidic mango via a thin body with a tingly, light carbonation that finishes semi-dry and burns on the swallow.

Can dated 11/13- have been assuming it was a stout by the name. Finally read label, NEIIPA, and I am wishing this was fresher. Strong smell of orange and tangerine. Look, a deeper orange than normal. Fist sip and automatically wonder if Trailblazer and New Frontier had a NEIIPA baby and this is the result. Lots of citrus up front but enough bitterness to take away from the juice bomb taste. Taste the ABVs at times, but that's something I enjoy. Another great offering by CBV.
