What's Your Name Mean? "Want to play a game?" Used to be our response, but because of our growth and your support we're adding this link to ease your curiosity. No, it's not an acronym. Yes, it is a name! But it's not a combination of ours. In fact, Andrew and Kai are brother-in-laws. Each married to 2 of 3 sisters. Richard's brother is married to the third. And Voila! There it is! We are all family by marriage and bond. Oh, and the name.... is the girl's maiden name! Brownie points
Hops up front is very aromatic. Not sure what Erebus hops are, but the smell is kind of like unripe grape, grapeskin, maybe a little pine. Pours clear golden with decent head. Light bitter end with some hop tang. Tap at Herndon taproom.
Reviewed from notes. Can to tulip. Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace Aroma: big does of Citra and Galaxy hops (way bigger than Orange Starfish); seems about the same for the malts Flavor: blends those noted hops and malts bittersweet and juicy to move into a nice finish of those hops Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; pretty smooth along the tongue; a touch of creaminess Overall: I'd have to look at my review of Orange Starfish but as far as I know at this moment that this just the bigger version of that beer. I would definitely have this again.
Reviewed from notes. Can to tulip. Appearance: bright yellow to orange haziness with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace Aroma: papaya, mango, pineapple and guava notes with some semi-sweet fruity hoppy tones, light clean malts Flavor: leans to the sweet side initially then tries to blend some bitter character but seems to go back to being sweet - through all the prior noted aromas; mild finish of papaya & mango sweetness Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, nice low carb, smooth along the tongue Overall: if this is a true milkshake IPA then I'm all for it, though the other "milkshake IPA's" all have huge creamy smooth notes, this beer seems just smooth which I'm fine with.
Can to becher pint glass. Appearance: hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy head, quickly dissipated to leave mild lace Aroma: citrusy and tropical hoppiness, subtle pine, clean malts super far down in there Flavor: bittersweet juicy tropical and citrusy goodness, subtle citrusy aftertaste Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability, piney/citrusy finish Overall: I'd say a very nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.
