Description
A little background... In Richmond Virginia’s unbelievable beer scene, one of the pioneering brewpubs is a place called the Answer. Brandon Tolbert, as many of the craftiest craft beer folks know, was the head brewer and creative force behind this brewpub. He left the Answer a short while ago, when they started taking a different approach to making beer, and set out to do his own thing.
Well, flash forward to today and Brandon’s new creative project is imminently happening.

Admin Note: Beers are contract brewed at Twelve Percent Beer Project in North Haven, CT

Super hazy, pure golden and straw coloured body with a nice raw honey glow and a thick, four to five centimetre tall off-white and relatively soapy head that lasts for a long time and leaves a pretty nasty lace on the sides. Aroma of pure cream and lactose with a bunch of vanilla and straw notes with some big wheatie elements and a lot of floral notes as well with some caster sugar and noticeable resinous hops here with some grapefruit as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Super rich malty notes with a big sweet bite from the lactose with a lot of alpha acids and bitterness, but cut almost immediately by the fruits and citrus flavours with a floral finish that is nice and robust with the lactose still coming out strong. Aftertaste shows the hops and wheat both almost equally with a nice kick of hops and robust floral dryness with some cream, vanilla and lactose adding the pungency here. Overall, a nice and robust hazy and pungent New England IPA that borders on Imperial status due to the richness of the malts and the lactose here, but it still goes down pretty easily, with a lot of sweetness. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 18-December-2021 for US$, sampled in my hotel room and on the streets of New York on 20-December-2021.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Pineapple, tropical fruit, gooseberry and citrus aromas dominate the nose. Palate is similar with a nice pine, pithy bitterness to balance out the tropical fruit flavors. Drying finish with nice, tight carbonation.

Can 0.473l. Aroma of wheat, yeast, ripe mango, citrus and stone fruit. Pours murky carrot-like color with medium sized frothy orange head, fruity particles floating and average sparkling appearance. Tastes tart stone fruity with mango and carrot note, follows slightly grainy and milky, mouthfeel is thick, smooth and mild spicy, while finish is very light bitter. Medium body, sleazy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Thick juice…

Can. A- Chocolate fudge, coffee. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Chocolate fudge, espresso beans, vanilla. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Can said this was a collab with Bottle Logic and I've been wanting to try their stuff. This was outstanding. Loads of chocolate and coffee. Not sure I get the marshmallow nor was it really all that sweet. Well balanced and exceeded all expectations for sure.

Draft 13 oz pour enjoyed at Hop and Hound. Bright, juicy haze with plenty of sticky foam head and lacing. Sweet malts and tropical fruit front here. Touch of grass on the nose. Easy drinking imperial with a lingering resinous citrus hop bitter. Quite the enjoyable imperial hazy here.

16 oz can from Anthony, thanks bud! Canned 6/28/21, consumed 9/11/21. Orange juice looking pour, minimal head. Tangerine juice for sure here. Lime comes through too. Fairly tart, lots of juice. Pretty good, but definitely not something I'd want a ton of.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Nice mineral and crackery malt aromas on the nose. A bit of grain on the palate with more mineral and crisp, clean herbal hops. Drying, balanced finished.
