Pint can de et partagée avec Tderoeck et Nathanvc+1@ Tim's BBQ extravaganza, merci! Canned June 10th, 2024, BB?
Dorée, léger pâle, col crémeux blanc tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet agrumes, petite pointe de soufre, petite pointe de zeste d'orange. Rétro-nasal léger sur les malts avec ce bouquet de haze qui ne convainc pas vraiment.
Palais est léger sur les malts entre pâle et pils, effet de haze assez marqué - le tout résulte sur un effet poudre d'oignon marquée plus un houblonné sur les agrumes - amertume reste également bien présente. Esprit d'une hazy un peu en retrait et décevant.

16oz can. Classical, well done hazy. Strata keeps it interesting. Easy on the palate, pretty drinkable. Good.

16oz can. Watery, kind of flat. Really doesn't nail it. Pretty much a drainpour. Thin and watery, hop water, seltzer tone. Not good. Surprised they would not send this all down the drain. Bad stuff from a generally solid brewery.

I was pretty excited that Cocoon was making a Cold IPA. A fun hop combination, the Strata would work well with the style. Not sure why you would even consider adding Phantasm, but it sort of works well enough. Pretty tasty beer. Nice balance overall, considerably more enjoyable than most IPAs in 2024.

16oz can. Rather righteous hop combination. Big, rich, full bodied, true to style hazy IPA. Monster hop tones, but still dominated by the Strata. Thick.

Tap at Cocoon. Unfiltered brown body hints of amber/purple. Steady beige head. Blueberry maple tone, sweet. Unique, good.

Tap at Cocoon. Sweet, thick. Peanut butter is there, but a little muted by the marshmallow flavor stuff. OK.

Tap at Cocoon. Pink body. Fruit flavors are mild but well incorporated. Pleasant tart balance. Not my thing.
