About
Foam. It's always been an unconscious calling like drifting into a cumulus cloud bank on a sun-drenched day, or collapsing in a frothy curl of a breaking wave. Foam; it's natural beauty that rises up and is here and gone in a moment in time. I have spent my working life in foam, beer foam that is, brewing beer, conjuring up mixtures of malt and hops to ferment into a crowning moment of beer. Great beer has always sat under foam. Foam. It's not one ingredient that gives stability; it's many interwoven to create a structure of strength pouring out visual excitement. As I sit for a time, I enjoy that moment. All that remains is the lacing that adorns the empty glass and the making of a great memory. Until next time, see you under the Foam...

Reviewed from notes.
On tap at Foam Brewers.
Appearance: dark amber/heavy copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: nice floral tones of the hibiscus with subtle sweet wheat and coriander
Flavor: brings the prior noted aromas to a fair and balanced floral to wheaty sweetness with some coriander to spice things up and a little bit of salt; finishes with the hibiscus, salt and subtle wheat
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue
Overall: nice as a wheat ale with some hibiscus and salt in it. I'd come back to it in that respect.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White soapy head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Tangerine and passion fruit aromas. Thick with sweet hot honey, caramel and tangerine upfront turning to peach and apricot in the slick, lasting finish.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow color somewhat with a chill haze to it with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: passion fruit, strawberries, lemon and grapefruit hop tones; clean biscuity malts
Flavor: runs bittersweet with some juiciness but an herbal quality seems to get the bittersweet juiciness scaled down a bit; finishes with a brisk strawberry to lemony and grapefruity vibe
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under, somewhat a sipper; herbal smoothness with a certain hop bitterness getting a little punchy with the tongue
Overall: I say a very nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of returning to. That herbal tea thing might be a little weird but it works.

Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: bronzed orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy rind bitterness with melons and papaya-like hoppiness; light clean semi-biscuity malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy quality; finishes clean with the melons and papayas
Texture: medium bodied, leans towards being a sipper; good smoothness; the carb seems a bit higher than expected for this style (hmmmm....uhmmmm, alrighty then)
Overall: mostly a pretty good NEIPA I would return to.

Poured into a becher glass.
Appearance: glossy orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapples, tangerines, and some kiwis - rolls right into a great juicy tone; mild biscuity malts underneath
Flavor: meshes all the previously mentioned aromas to a fine overall bittersweet quality; finishes with the pineapples and tangerines mostly
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; lovely smoothness along the tongue; low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness and still tells me this is a beer.
Overall: and quite a well brewed NEIPA I would very much love to come back to.

Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate, subtle mineral water/briney, black coffee and a light dark malty backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine salty to roasty and lightly sweet quality; finishes chocolatey, semi-salty and subtle coffee-ish
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable? hmmmm, eh, nah, I think this one leans closer to being a sipper as plenty of saltiness and roastiness seems to weigh on the tongue a bit more than expected as it balances to the suggested ABV
Overall: I liked this one for me but it does make me wonder what others think of this one, I bet the kids these days won't like this.

Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: thick as midnight black in the middle of the sticks with a one finger tan foamy head that took it's time to dissipate then leave a light messy lace
Aroma: big sweet milk chocolate, good level of vanilla with some woody sweet to lightly spicy undertone with a delicate coffee roast underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty sweet quality; finishes sweet and woody spicy with a touch of roast
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper!; plenty of smoothness along the tongue but also a fair spicy toned woodiness nipping at the tongue
Overall: while I did like this one quite well, I do wonder if the Buffalo Trace tones were a bit fresh on this? Hmmmm, I don't know enough. But I definitely would welcome this one again!

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 8
Reviewed from notes. Purchased 09/06/2017 and consumed the same day.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: thick purple to slightly brown color with a quickly dissipating semi-foamy head that didn't leave any lace
Aroma: big blackberry tart and sour and sweet tones with subtle lemon whiffs, subtle sweet pectin/jamminess
Flavor: pulls all those prior noted aromas together in a blackberry jam sort of tart to sweet quality; finishes like blackberry jam
Texture: light bodied, somewhat sessionable; clean smoothness along the tongue with some tart puckering assertiveness but mostly just noticeable - nothing offensive
Overall: what a lovely blackberry tart ale and a touch tamer in the sour department, I would definitely return to this.
