12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Hazed, darkish orange pour with a small head that fades pretty quickly; minimal lace. Some chill haze.
Nose has a touch of alcohol, some peppery spice, a little estery fruit as well.
The tastes are an odd composite of lots of differnt strong flavors. Firstly we get some serious bubblegum and fruit. Mixed in there is some peppery, bitter alcohol and then some apparently bitterish hop bite in the finish! Really odd. This beer feels like a beer that is a cross between a Tripel, a Belgian IPA and a dryish hop based Pale Ale. It misses on most of these notes, and although the beer is drinkable I’m confused and a bit frustrated by it.
The finish is dry and there are more bubblegum tastes that are really quite strong.
I don’t dislike this but it’s a strange combination of tastes and experiences. Not sure that it’s a good beer, but I guess it’s interesting.
