Score

6.94

ABV: 6.6%

IBU: 40

Ticks: 4

Fresh Kicks is inspired by Hazy IPAs from the Northeast – beers that are at their best when consumed hella-fresh. A blend of Azacca, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops, added to the whirlpool and also at multiple times in the fermentation process, produces hop flavors and aromas that mimic the addition of ripe tropical fruits. Like that new pair of fresh kicks, this beer will have you walking on A I R.

Ember draught, 3/25/23. Lightly hazy, bright lemon. Small, white head, low retention. A bit of yeastiness in there (sweat, sour, fat/oil) but otherwise bright and not overbearing on hops or malt. Citrus and a hint of stone fruit. White bread/cracker malts. Good zippy hops upfront, very lemony with very light sour gummies. Soft, malty texture, good attenuation. Lingering lemon, moderate bitterness. Some almost bitter hop or yeast compounds but it's minimal at least. Otherwise very flavorful and drinkable and balanced.

On tap pours out hazy straw topped with a white head. Nose is sweet tropical fruit notes and some citrus. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical notes and some citrus.

Real Ale, a good brewery in the Hill Country of Texas, NE style IPA, not my favorite. I've got a 12 oz can of Fresh Kicks that was spotted at a close-by supermarket. Pouring inside of a snifter, I see the expected lemon-yellow body with a tremendous head of off-white foam, a heavy pour this time. I like the scent, tropical with a bit of dankness. The taste falls off somewhat, a little bland. Some lemon, hops, varnish, grain and bread. Some sweet, some bitter. Not tripping my trigger.
