Brewery draught, 5/24/25.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden. Small, white head quickly to ring.
Some spice and floral notes. Maybe a touch of onion. Very deep, dank spice. Sparse malts and a somewhat fruity yeast. Clean, no resin or alcohol noted.
Juicy and very fruity with a pineapple character, fresh squeezed orange and a mildly spicy bitterness on the end. Good malt depth and attenuation. Clean. Checks all the boxes and has appropriate bitterness. Reminds me a lot of Other Half. My first Alvarium beer so not sure how much their IPAs may already taste like OH.

Taste pour from a can at rising pint. Deeply hazy dark yellow with nice head and excellent retention. Nice lacing. Aroma is Cirus stone fruit slightly dank. Taste is citrus, nonspecific, fruit, and dank. Smooth texture, lively carbonation, finish as taste. Solid.

Can at St Marteen, kind courtesy of mansquito. Pours murky golden with a white head. Nose is huge fruit punch, packed with cantaloupe, citruses and apricot. Taste is also fruity and sweet upfront, but then it also shows rather intense hoppyness, and the fruits are very well incorporated in the base beer - the fruits are hard to tell apart from the hops and vica versa, it’s outstandingly well balanced. Closes with a long lasting juicy, fruity, and somewhat bitter hoppy finish, it’s got a full, smooth body and soft carbonation. Generally not a fan of fruited IPAs but damn this is a truly excellent example of the style. Oh and also proof for me that every style can be done well, some are just harder to nail.

Can shared at home, courtesy of mansquito. Murky, pale golden pour with a white head. Nose and taste are tropical fruits, mango and papaya, and also pineapple and passion fruit notes. Mostly sweet with a hint of bitterness in the finish, and it also gets dry there. Light to medium bodied with soft carbo.

Four pack gifted by my mom. She liked it, so how bad could it be? Hazy, dull, orange-colored pour. Super heady, thick & sticky. Pithy, woody, sweet pine, white bread nose. Frothy, strong, honey orange, yellow onion, faintly sharp, danky asparagus piss, confectionary, citrus sweet finish. Mellow bitter bite on the tail. Juicy & fresh. Okay-ish. Burnt out on hazies.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Aroma is a ton of grapefruit, lemon, melon. Flavor pops with fruit. Very mild citrus pith bitterness with a bold juicy texture. A very nice NEIPA!

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Aroma has a mild herbal hint under the fruits. Flavor follows with a steady herbal “gin” character. It does resemble the cocktail.

Four pack from a friend my mom is dating. Appropriate housewarming gift noted. Insanely sticky, tall, off-white head. Hazy, blended, pale gold pour. Sticky veg, sweet cream, lightly citrus rind nose. Rainbow sherbet flavor description is accurate. Apricot. Dull acid, coffee creamer, white pith, mellow citrus, confectionery sugar flavor. Juicy, low acid, super frothy, itchy rind. Decent. Still think the style is shit.

Can (1/9/24) pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Deeply hazy dark brown-mahogany with nice sparkle, decent-sized head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy roasted malt, oats. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength but not much to it.

Can pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Dark brown with creamy ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is toasted caramel, earth and hint of dark fruit/cherry. Taste is strong toasted malt, late hint of nut. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Decent complexity and strength. Good!
