Lost Souls

Draught @ City Hops. Hazy bright yellow with large foamy off-white head, orange peel-mango aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter orange peel-mango taste, thin body, long finish. A nice IPA.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release locally. Pours opaquely hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent NE IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; extremely smooth and easy to drink with the very mildly bitter/drying finish. Great soft mouthfeel, and impressive Galaxy/Simcoe showcase as expected. Super juicy and lightly dank hop complexity; awesome malt balance, not overly sweet/heavy. Underwhelming aromas, but the taste made up for it. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Can shared by Marcus. Pours like hazy grapefruit juice. White head. Aroma is juicy and seems a bit grapefruit. Med body or so. Flavor is juicy and seems to be somewhat grapefruit. Not entirely dry, but bitter for sure. Really nice.

Ultra-hazy IPA, but the dulled hoppy notes and strange astringency on the back end make me think this NEIPA is well past its shelf life. Some mild citrus, berry and bubblegum on top of a wet grain malt base. Drinkable, but lacking the juiced-up punch you expect from the style. Beautiful pour, and the texture is good, but weak overall. Also, an unbelievable amount of gooey shit came out of the bottom of the can after I rinsed it out for recycling. Pretty gross.
