Description
At Hudson Valley Brewery, we like to think of our beer as the product of a wide variety of influences. Like the Hudson Valley itself, we believe the beers we create stand somewhere between the rural and the urban, the traditional and the modern, the rustic and the industrial. Our brewing techniques are inspired by the brewing practices of traditional European breweries as well as the more aggressive, experimental practices of American breweries. We brew the beer we love to drink, which like the Hudson Valley itself, is always changing.

Pours hazed bright gold into a tulip. Considerable micro head fills majority of the glass turning soapy as it recedes. Mango and tangerine aromas. Active with sweet pineapple, papaya and dirty mango peel upfront turning to hot honey and tangerine pith in the lasting finish. .

Can to tulip.
Appearance: great looking pale orange to almost brown color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy to apricot-ish, light gooseberries and/or passion fruit hoppy tones, slight oniony sweetness; super light clean bready/cracker malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet and slightly flanked by a light spicy hop note; finishes leaning into the peachy/apricot and gooseberry/passion fruity tones (just seems so muddled, apologies for not picking this out better)
Texture: medium bodied; leaning into being a sipper - slightly; some smoothness to this but also some hop bitterness assertiveness - mostly just light notes of it
Overall: I'd have this again despite some of the hop bitterness but that wasn't really offensive

Can to tulip.
Appearance: nice looking pale orange cardboard haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which trailed off at a nice pace then left some light stringy lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to orangey and slightly grapefruity to piney hops up front with a keen biscuity maltiness underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine hoppy bittersweet to a semi-juicy twangy to spicy hoppy sweetness; finishes with a little bit of that twang and spicy hop notes
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being semi-sessionable; light smoothness to this but also that "twang" noted in the flavor seems to have mellowed out and doesn't affect the feel as much (IOW, great use of the malted oat - insert high five emoji here), nice low carb
Overall: interesting NEDIPA, uhmmm, well, I really liked the aroma and the texture but I have to ask the question - was that "twang" intentional in the flavor? I'm not entirely sure and I know how this brewer loves to sour IPA's, so I'm left scratching my beard on this one a bit.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: pale copper cardboard looking haziness with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any laec
Aroma: mixed citrusy to mango-like with a super subtle piney hop tone then some light biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet hoppy to bittersweet malty quality; finishes mixed citrusy to piney with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue, nice low carb; low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I can see the similarities between this and Pillow Hat and this is one I could return to.

Appearance: pale yellowed cardboard looking haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to pineapple-y and slightly piney hops coating some light bready/biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet hoppy to bittersweet malty quality; finishes mixed citrusy to piney with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue with a touch of rolling acceptable dryness, nice low carb.
Overall: pretty nicely done mostly easy going session NEPA I could return to.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Opaque, dark brown, light sparkle, ample head with excellent retention, light lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malts, cacao nibs, milk sugar. Taste is sweet/roasted malt, milk chocolate. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. A nice milk stout!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow to almost orange cloudiness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which tapered off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity to mango and papaya-ish fruity tones with some tangy/tart lime and a touch of mixed citrusy hoppy tones
Flavor: does a good job of intertwining the previously noted aromas to a fair tart to sour to bitter sort of quality; finishes semi-dry with hoppy and some light sour mango & lime-y tones
Texture: light to medium bodied; leaning to be a sipper; light smoothness but also I like how the green tea seems to level out some of the tart to sour character
Overall: I never smelled or tasted the green tea but I guess with the other parts being as strong as they normally are, I can see why, but no harm no foul as I would revisit this one.
