Hybrid Minds: Dangerous Man from Elm Creek Brewing Company (Champlin, United States 🇺🇸)
2 months ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7
Pours a lightly hazy, pale lemon yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is dust, citrus, some tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel seems pretty thin for the style. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Guess I was expecting more from this one.

Corvus Nox - Yuzu from Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, United States 🇺🇸)
2 months ago
8.4/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 9 Overall 8.5
Pours a hazy, glowing orange-peach, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with a stronger citrus presence, just a touch on the sour side (not really sure what yuzu tastes like on its own, so it's probably this). Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Gentle Static - Mango & Peach from Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, United States 🇺🇸)
2 months ago
9/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 9 Overall 9
Pours a hazy, yellow-gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma is bright, juicy citrus and tropical fruit, with a gust of mango and peach. Flavors follow, with some light sweetness. The mango really pairs well with the peach as a flavor addition. Soft, soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness in the finish. This was really good.

Gentle Static - Peach & Pineapple from Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, United States 🇺🇸)
2 months ago
8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Pours a hazy, orange-gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with extra bursts of peach and pineapple (adds a bit to the pine element, too). Flavors follow, with the pineapple really standing out (almost too much so, to my taste). Soft mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness through the finish.
