- What's up guys? Quick
little beerview today.
We are reviewing the double can release
from Arrowlodge and Active skateboards.
This is from their Get Down event.
Got Hop town west coast IPA.
- And I have Hazy Boys,
this is a 7.5% Hazy IPA.
This is both of them are
done in collaboration
with Active skateboards and I don't know
I like the simple can
design but there's not much
to talk about until we crack them open.
So lets just do it
- Lets do it
- So yeah like Max said,
these were released
this past weekend at the Get Down.
As of this taping, we're
taping this on August 25th.
What's the ABV on
- Seven five all the way around
- Seven five okay so I
don't really know anything
about this beer other than what we just
read on the can so I'm
not sure if there's any
similarities between these two in terms of
like hop profile or grain bill.
I love the murk on this
beer first and foremost.
Very nice, and that head is fluffy!
- Really is
- I feel like I can lay my head on this
at night and sleep fucking soundly.
- I'm kind of jealous man, mine
kind of died off super quick
- Yeah, well you know appearance aside
we gotta dig into how this beer tastes.
- Of course
- Let's do it.
The nose is really
interesting on this Hazy IPA
I'm getting a lot of
grain, I'm getting a lot
of wheat and kind of what you smell when
you're mashing out.
(deep nose inhale)
I would expect a lot
more hop aroma here but
maybe it's being masked
by something I'm not sure
but interesting aroma I would say.
Love the appearance, interesting aroma.
- I'm dying to try mine
because little lack
of head retention I can't
get much out of the nose.
I think I gotta get it at a taste.
- May I stick my schnoz in?
(deep nose inhale)
- He's more of a bloodhound than I am.
- This is tough too, the
nose is a little thin.
There's a little floral component to it
but I'm not getting big pungent aromas
jumping out of the glass
like you normally would
in a lot of Arrowlodge's beers.
This is interesting,
let's give it a whirl.
- Let's taste!
Crow bars up
- Interesting, the
aroma carries through to
on the pallet I'm getting
a lot grain you know?
Kind of that really malts a
little sweet character to it
and the hop flavors are not coming through
the way you would typically
have on a Hazy IPA.
The body is a little heavier,
there is that creaminess
so you know when it hits
your mouth it definitely
rings true but yeah I
think all the way through
high on malt low on hops
which really I think
is not what we've come to expect
from Arrowlodge in the
past on the Hazy IPA.
So West coast, your thoughts?
- I'm feeling the same way about this beer
really thin, I think the
lack of head retention
should have been a foreshadowing into what
I'm going to be experiencing
on the taste here.
It's bitter, it's boozy
I'm lacking the bouquet
of hops that maybe I
thought would be there.
- You know the trademark of that style
is hop forward aromas and flavors.
- And so at the end of
the day it leaves me
wanting just a little bit more.
- In the end, we love Arrowlodge and we'll
continue to keep picking them up
and well continue to keep drinking them.
- Of course!
- Alright anything else?
- Nothing from me
Hop Town, Hazy Boys
- [Both] That's a review
