So I grabbed a 4 pack of these at the Liquor store a couple weeks ago. They were on sale for 4.99 for 4. A decent price for a craft beer so I snagged a few four packs.
I love the pink can with the truck full of hops just rambling down the road. The cans definitely catch the eye.
As an IPA goes I would call it pretty mild. It is a very dry IPA and has a pretty interesting unexpected flavor. You'll never guess what flavor I attribute to this beer...
Some of you can tell from the picture, If you can't that's actually a candy called
and the Tagline for the candy is "Taste The Rainbow"; hence the title.
The fact that this beer tastes like candy is a little deceiving. The beer is thick and chewy. Each sip is a complex blend of sweet and sour citrus. It took me a couple of these to nail down what I felt this IPA tasted like. Then it hit me
You can see how thick this beer is. The pour is very hazy so the term Hazy IPA is appropriate. A very thin head of foam on top and each sip is a flavorful and thick.
it's a real interesting and complex flavor profile. There is an initial sweetness, some definite citrus flavors, and a nice crisp dry finish. Unsweetened Skittles, that's another name I'd use for this beer.
No Bad, Just Interesting.
So I added the squash in the background. I know, they meant "Hop" harvesting season, but aren't most harvests generally around the same time?
A good dry citrusy IPA.
