New Holland Tangerine Space Machine

“Frothy white head, hazy, fruit juice–like appearance. Citrus peel, pink lemonade, tart grapefruit, lemon, tangerine in the nose. The flavor is straight up tangerine IPA. However, it is balanced nicely with medium bitterness. Medium bitterness, orange-candy flavor linger into the quick and clean finish.”

“Light spicy nose, reminiscent of a Belgian pale ale with grass, geranium, and pepper qualities. Rounded body, fairly sweet mid-palate, which gives it a somewhat heavy impression. Missing definition throughout; the pieces to the puzzle are there but do not come together.”

Aroma: “Raspberry character is strong and jammy. Slightly tart with hints of floral hops and only a touch of grain.” Flavor: “More raspberry. Slight moderate sweetness into slight acidity and very low bitterness. Well-balanced with a nice interplay of malt, fruit, and clean hops. Finish is pleasantly dry and crisp with a smack of tart. The quality of the raspberry flavor is fantastic—natural, deep, and nuanced.” Overall: “The raspberry is pleasant and noticeable but not over the top or cloyingly sweet. A bit thin, but a nice, easy-drinking summer beer for someone who doesn’t want something heavy-handed. It avoided the cliché of sweet fruit beer and almost shifts a bit too far to the opposite end of the spectrum, where you find yourself wanting a touch more sweetness.”
