Clip Art - Citra from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at the brewery, 9/12/18.
Verly lightly cloudy, juju-lemon-brass. White head fades slowly to a ring.
Juicy pineapple, ripe nectarine, mango and light orange all emanate from the well-expressed hops, as honey-like malt notes, fruity and light bubble gum esters also mix in, giving a very respectable, near prototypical view of a NE IPA. No resin or alcohol, nor flaw. Nice.
Thick and very much New England style, with a nearly "creamy" consistency with plentiful yeast and a soft, biscuit and honey-like malt character. Lots of tangy papaya leading to mango and pineapple. Spritzy almost, tight carbonation with good attenuation, as well. A bit of pine and papaya twang on the finish but the soft and juicy character almost wholly makes up for it. With warming and breathing, I'm finding just a bit too much pine and strong yeast character on the end, but otherwise this is another very well-done NE IPA.

Secret Meeting from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
9/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 9
Draught at the brewery, 8/15/18.
Dark cola-to-dark chestnut with mahogany and ruddy highlights. Good clarity with a dark beige head atop showing moderate retention.
DAMN! What a nose! This was definitely a sniffer and one of those beers where you were happy to just keep smelling, not even needing to take a sip for a long time. Rich and rewarding, with an evolving profile and yet not dominated by any one aspect, nor is it too sweet or alcoholic. Red and dark fruit mix with spicy, yet somehow round bourbon notes as vanilla, marzipan, toffee, treacle, molasses and rich caramel all appear in some form. It's just phenomenally aromatic, round, clean and well-aged. Reminds me of some of the best vintages of Bourbon County Stout, though without a lot of the excess fudge/heft. Acidity from the malt joins in and really puts the finishing touch on this, balancing it nearly-perfectly. Aroma never wavers, nor does it grow alcoholic or too sweet with warming.
In the mouth it delivers, as well. Rich malts are very well-attenuated, yet gently sticky notes of molasses, toffee and raisin grace the palate at points, as soft bourbon, cola, plum and caramel all unfold and linger on. Low but tight carbonation and a soft, malty, lightly tannic texture all keep the beer drinkable and balanced. And incredibly drinkable it is indeed. No sign of the abv nor any sharp/aggressive bourbon. Malts are perfectly attenuated, clean and snappy leaving light acidity behind. Plum, raisin, toffee, bourbon and long, luxurious vanilla linger. What a beer!

Space Junk from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at the brewery, 8/15/18.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, warm-toned, peach-golden. White head atop is small, showing moderately-low retention.
Cracker, lactic acid, highly attenuated mango and even a touch of lightly spicy, perfume-like character slowly give way to a bit more biscuit and honey to balance the acid. Fruit is well-integrated, though the beer seems extremely dry and attenuated, with the acidity very clear and exposed. Mango-like essence remains behind, nicely authentic and enjoyable. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's indeed quite dry with bare cracker and light biscuit giving a very light body in concert with the moderately acidic kettle sour aspect. Doesn't feel unfinished or rushed, however, and the mango is flavorful, though very attenuated itself. Definitely improves with warming, gaining softer textures and a rounder fruit character. Bright, snappy and crisp and well-done. Hard to complain much about a beer being very dry.

Retro-Olfaction from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at the brewery, 8/15/18.
Clear, muted, straw-to-golden. Small white head shows moderate retention.
Soft, fruity nose shows plentiful ester with nectarine, strawberry, pear and apple prominent. Light white pepper and phenols complement nicely, as malts seem to add both light biscuit and honey, seemingly well-attenuated. No alcohol, flaw or any crude esters/phenols, nor any citrusy hops. Just herbs and grass in that aspect.
In the mouth it's lightly sweet with honey and rich biscuit. Tight carbonation and strong attenuation with some clove, though certainly not problematic amounts. Grassy, herbal hops and a good deal of pepper phenol on the end, with light remnants of fruity esters and even a touch of toasted malt character. Very well-done, clean and yet not sterile or American-feeling at all.

Garage Rock from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at the brewery, 8/15/18.
Clear, deep bronze with light copper hints and a small, off-white head atop showing moderate-to-low retention.
Nose is surprisingly hoppy, with herbs, fresh cut grass, bright lemon and soft floral suggestions. Even a bit of light mango in there. Some rustic, grain and cereal character breaks through, lightly, with a hint of mineral and otherwise lingering hop notes. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's light, effervescent and quite dry, though not thin. Cereal, toasted grain and cracker sit in the background as mango-strawberry-lemon-like hops show brightly throughout. It's a little more hoppy than expected and maybe preferred, as it doesn't really allow the full force of the corn and other malts, nor the nuances of the lager yeast, to be fully appreciated. That being said, the hops are done very well, with little/no bitterness nor any resin. Clean, crisp, hoppy finish with lingering cereal and light cracker.

Diamond Lake from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Draught at the brewery, 8/15/18.
Heavily hazy-to-soupy, pale, lime-tinted bronze-golden. White head atop is small and shows moderate retention.
Very timid nose at first, showing a mix of lime, light pine, unripe peach and pineapple. Malts seem very biscuity, thick yet not sweet or even showing much honey-like character. As it warms, more juice character emerges, yet so does ample lime, pine and lightly twangy peach, so it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some alcohol on the end, with light yeast and/or malt dullness.
In the mouth it's soft, "chewy" and very biscuity with more texture than actual malt flavor and very little sweetness. Some tropical juice transitions quickly to tangy/twangy peach with light pine behind it. Unripe pineapple, some juicy orange, a touch of resin linger on. Engaging carbonation and strong attenuation. Not nearly as bright and lively as the Exam Room 2, though still enjoyable. I like that it comes off pretty light and drinkable for its size.

Exam Room 2 from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Draught at the brewery, 8/15/18.
Cloudy-soupy, bronze-maize-golden with a thin, white head showing moderately-low retention.
Nose is beautifully-fragrant, tropical fruit-heavy hops mixing with not-overdone bubble gum and fruity esters from the yeast. Throw in light honey-laced, cracker-and-biscuit malts, no resin, strong juiciness and you've got just about all the boxes checked off for an awesome NE IPA.
In the mouth it's very flavorful, with melon, mango, passion fruit and guava notes leading to juicy honey and red grapefruit, low bitterness, yet still enough to balance, and a high attenuation with tight carbonation. Supple, soft, malty texture. Deeply juicy stuff, the yeast character obviously contributing yet not going as far as to make it a bubble gum bomb, nor is it messy in the actual beer (doesn't taste slick, nutty, bland, etc...). No alcohol, no resin. Amazing.

Dream Pop from Remnant Brewing
8 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught at the brewery, 7/11/18.
Soft, cloudy-to-hazy. Lemon-pineapple golden with a white head sitting at a light covering.
Juicy pineapple and meyer lemon are backed by strong cracker-like notes. Quite fruity with pineapple, nectarine and lemon continuing on to the finish as it gains mango-lime-like NE pale ale characteristics from a very fruity yeast. No resin or flaw.
In the mouth it's flavorful and well-done. Juicy, soft, succulent with an almost grape candy-like flavor. Maybe remaining a bit too sweet as it finishes, but then, maybe not. Very soft, malty texture with engaging carbonation. Tons of cracker to keep interest and leave the texture not overly soft or mushy. Low bitterness with no resin or alcohol. The lime-grape character is interesting and unique. Even a bit of mineral to it. Very rustic, for sure, even if unintentional.
