Swimming With Sharks from Rutland Beer Works (Rutland, United States 🇺🇸)
3 weeks ago
7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange color to almost copper with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: very sweet pineapple-y tones with the sweet side of passion fruit, the tartness is extremely low; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet combo with a clean sweet pineapple-y finish
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to medium bodied; between being a sipper and being sessionable; some smoothness; good low-ish carb level; low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty good NEIPA I believe I could return to.

Oktoberfest from Brix City Brewing (Little Ferry, United States 🇺🇸)

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7
Can to mug.
Appearance: chill haze burnt orange to amber color with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: apple fleshy scents, fruity estery yeastiness, soft warm breadiness and a very little bit of earthy spice
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet quality; finishes very smooth and malty
Texture: light to medium bodied - leaning towards the light side slightly; very sessionable; good carb level
Overall: seems a bit between a festbier and a Märzen, but mostly fine to me, though nothing over the top.

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to clean grapefruity semi-sweet with a touch of sweet pulpy-ness; clean malts underneath
Flavor: very mixed citrusy bittersweet between pulpy-ness and rind bitterness; finishes mixed citrusy
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; some smoothness; medium to low hop bitterness
Overall: it's tracking and good for the style. I'd be willing to return to this.
