Abner

0,75 l bottle bought today at the brewery and shared at a barbeque. Light unclear golden in the glass. Heavy fruity and hoppy on the nose. Starts very hoppy, grapefruits with malts in the second row. Mighty but pleasant and warmed bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice brew.

Chriso May 2014 tasting. Super hoppy. Lovely double ipa. Big pink grapefruit. Pretty good pink grapefruit.

Fliptop growler received in trade. Bottle filled 10 days ago and stored in fridge while not traveling. No leakage detected. Pours very hazy vibrant yellow with a frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving tons of trace on the glass. Smell is slightly fruity, floral and bursting with lively hop aromas with crackers, pine needles, freshly cut grass, grapefruit juice, pineapple, papaya, lemon zest, starfruit, mineral water and orange zest. Taste is slightly sweet, bitter, slightly herbal, floral and tiny earthy with crackers, freshly baked white bread, pine needles, resinous wood, grapefruit juice, freshly cut grass, moist soil, unripe tropical fruits, orange zest, lemon zest, dandelions and hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is round, tiny dry, slightly astringent, tiny boozy and near full bodied. Finish is bitter, floral and fruity with crackers, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, starfruit, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lemon zest, dandelions and orange zest. Juicy and incredibly balanced.Simple and simply perfect! Heady topper be damned, I’ve never tried anything like this before and suspect I never will again. --- Beer merged from original tick of Abner on 15 Mar 2014 at 20:18 - Score: 10

Tap. Pours cloudy light amber with a large white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, grass, a touch of minerals. Flavor is the same, very lightly sweet, medium bitter. Dry finish. Medium body, soft creamy mouthfeel.

hazy golden amber color. The nose if big piney, oranges hugely defined with some caramel subtly in the background. This was a growler, so the mouth is lacking a bit, but tons of pine and citrus. So well balanced. Very clean. So well executed. One of the best ipas I’ve had.

Thnx to urbancaver , my first frowler ever !!! Thnx to bpost it took a full month to get here --’ keep that in mind for this rate ! Lets not wasre another day , this must be drank as fresh as possible ! Basicly a growler seems to be a 75 cl bottle with swingcap . In belgium , this is a bottle . We sell beer in it but do not re-use it .. New idea, belgium ??? Pours very light , i expected like amber coloured , this is fuzzy yellow .. Rather big foam Smell is bitter , but also fruity . Very nice carbo ! The beer has held up very nice ! Fruity , bitter , kinda reminds at the bigger iipas ( heady) but presses me less , somehow . Yet this is very balanced ! Very familiar taste though .. Overall definatly a top iipa , but not THE best :-) Re-rate , fresh from tap and a re-assured entry since the growler had no label. Taste is very full, tropical fruit. Assertive to high bitternsss. Very intsnse. Nice ! Had wished for a bit more creamyness.

Growler. Thanks Adam. Potts hazy orange with a small creamy head and lacings. Crazy fruity hoppy aroma. Grapefruit and pineapple. Crisp and smooth with a long bitter finish. Breathtaking.

Growler courtesy of my Hill Farmstead pusher - Leighton! Cheers Ears! Hazy amber - gold beer with a tidy off white head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Mild minerals. A little creamy malt. Really nice hops, tastes like Cascade (but I see has everything but!). Light floral notes and tangerine and lemon bring up the rear. All comes together very well indeed. Finishes light and crisp. Very nice!
