New Beer Friday 3/11/22

Shades - Mango India Pale Ale: Missed this one. Look for Mango (of course), tropical, floral, and citrus notes. 6.5% - Available at Shades.

Illuminated Brew Works - Spoon Full of Sugar: Super hazy, dark yellow in color with orange, pineapple, mango, some grapefruit and guava. Lactose is also present. taste is much of the same with tropical hops and plenty of sweetness due to lactose. Really juicy and sweet. Nice for the style, but it's a wee sweet for me. 8.0% - Found at DABC.

Destihl - Apple Pie: Inspired by the flavors of American apple pie. Brewed with tart apple & cinnamon flavors and lactose, this ale has all of the flavors you'd expect with notes with a light body & tart finish. 4.6% - Found at DABC. 

Lagunitas - StereoHopic IPA Vol. 4 (Lotus & Sabro): clear gold/orange color with foamy white head leaving moderate frosty lacing. Nose is mild citrus with tropical notes and some earthiness. Taste follows in a slightly muddled way. Mild bitterness lingers on the finish. 7.2% - Found at DABC.

Mother Earth - Project X (Dimensional Universe): Missed this one. look for a lot of citrus and pineapple in this one. 7.0% - Found at Dick n Dixie's, Beer Bar, Slackwater and Roosters B Street Brewery.

Melvin - Frothy Embrace: A nice looking hazy appearance with tangerine, grapefruit and peach mostly in the nose. Taste is similar to the aroma, bright tangerine, peach, gooseberry and tropical notes, light coconut and malts with a fairly aggressive hoppy bitter back end. 6.0% Found at Dick n Dixie's, Beer Bar, Slackwater.
