Yeastcoast IPA #02

Tap @ the brewpub. Hazy yellow body like orange juice with a short lived, lacing white head. Strong fruity dominated aroma with mango and grapefruit. Not much else here really but sure smells lovely. Flavor is also very fruity as expected, the same mango, grapefruit tropical juice stuff, I almost felt the fruit meat between my teeth. Feels surprisingly bitter as well, like citric zest bitter. I was told this is more than less dry hopped only so there got to be this placebo bitterness fooling me, but who cares as long it feels bitter with a dry finish instead of sticky sweet juice. Sure it’s way to one dimensional in the long run, but a glass is just fine and refreshing.

From tap at Christianssand Brygghus while waiting for the train 19.11.18. Translucent golden. Fine white head and lacing. Aroma and taste of bitter pine shoors, grapefruit and sap. Pine and grapefruit bitterness is lingering on.

On tap at the brewpub. A juice-like unclear orange-yellow colored beer with a finger-thick off-white head. The aroma has grapefruit, citrusy sweetish notes, orange, orange zest and some grass and pine cones. Not much maltyness going on, neither in aroma nor in flavor. Orange, orange zest and grapefruit in the flavor, with a decent bitterness and a light hopburn. Full body and pleasant carbonation. Semi-dry. Lasting piney, orangey and grapefruity finish. A nice beer that could use even more dry hopping. 181018
