Glass Candle Grenades

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow/orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy, floral, orangey and some lemon hop scents; nice clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy conglomeration; finishes peachy, floral and orangey
Texture: medium bodied, slightly sessionable, some smoothness and subtle hop assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA worth coming back to

Deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, off-white head, about three centimetres tall that fades pretty quickly, and leaves a small lace on the sides. Aroma of bright, grassy and very bitter hops with a nice slight malty and earthy component, but mostly the resin and floral notes from the hops take hold. Medium-bodied; Rich earthy and slightly nutty flavours show at first with a great bitterness from the fresh and grassy hop characteristics with a little bit of resin and floral aspects, but there's also some earthy, nutty and even caramelised sugar flavours here that seem to come from the malts, but the hops leave a subdued bitterness here with some lighter alpha acids and floral aspects at the end. Aftertaste shows a good blend of the bitter hops and earthier malts, but more of a alpha acid punch comes through than I was expecting, but makes this seem more of an old school IPA than anything newer, which is nice! Overall, a very enjoyable and well-rounded, mellow but flavourful IPA with a good balance and still showing some hop bitterness throughout here, which is great to have! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased yesterday from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 04-November-2021 for US$4,75 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Lake Buena Vista, Florida after exploring EPCOT Center for the day for my son's fourth birthday on 05-November-2021.

Hazy pour. Thin foam. Zesty nose. Taste is zest, fruit, peach, and orange. Little zest palate.
