ineedbeer (4093) reviewed Gentle Lies from Wondrous Brewing Company 6 months ago
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8
Poured from an undated 16 oz can.
Aroma is a bit hop forward with notes of grass, floral and some spice and citrus. Nicely complimented by the Belgian yeast that contributes noice spicy, phenolic, peppery notes and a bit of a floral note. Light grain and hints of alcohol.
Pours a hazy, pale, yellow-gold with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt and grain notes. Medium bitterness and hints of alcohol. Moderately strong grassy herbal hop notes along with some woody, spicy, floral notes. Medium light peppery, phenolic notes.
Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid Belgian pale ale with a strong, characteristic Belgian spicy, phenolic character along with nice floral, herbal hop notes. Alcohol is well hidden and balanced with a nice malt sweetness.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 19, 2025.
Aroma is a bit muted with medium light hop notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, stone fruit and oily resin. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a clear, brilliant, gold color with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly but steadily to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate notes of grapefruit and tropical citrus. Much lighter notes of passion fruit, stone fruit and some lingering oily resin.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, it's a clean IPA with balanced bitterness, malt sweetness and alcohol. The hop notes in both the aroma and flavor are lacking though. Not sure if it's just me, but the krush and cryo products just don't do it for me.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 21 2025.
Aroma is hop forward with moderately strong hop notes of passion fruit, stone fruit, grapefruit, tropical citrus, pineapple and dank oily resin. Medium light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes.
Pours a somewhat hazy dull, golden orange color with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Medium light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes with pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit, tropical citrus and stone fruit. Medium dank, oily resin notes.
Mouthfeel is medium to medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a decent IPA but not a particularly hazy one. This is more of an unfiltered West Coast IPA than a haze bomb. Better in some ways, but also not what I was expecting. Not particularly hoppy in the flavor or the aroma, could definitely use more hop character. A touch on the sweet side like a hazy IPA and not very bitter either. Not sure what happened with this one.
