City Built Brewing Company Fifth Street Hooligans

“Aromatics of citrus, wet pine, tropical fruit, peach give way to a flavor profile that leans hard into the tropical notes. Alcohols are ninja, sneaky as hell. Malt body and soft mouthfeel support the bitterness. Not overly sweet.”

“In the sip, warm mango, dulled peach, background pine, hints of caramel, and a woody, spicy, earthy character. The sip brings tangerine, lemongrass, and black tea with a healthy dose of booze that lingers into the finish. Bold and brash.”

__Aroma:__ “Gooseberry hops aroma, with light fruity lemon and medium grapefruit. A little spiciness with a touch of pine that complements the fruity esters and light malt aroma.” __Flavor:__ “Sweet and tart citrus at first, with notes of orange and pineapple, and moderate bitterness that lingers for a bit. Berry-flavored hops, with some spice and pine. A medium malt background and a light, fluffy body. Finishes with mango sweetness. So much is happening in this beer. It’s refreshing.” __Overall:__ “Not quite as chewy as other New England IPAs, but it’s a bit more spicy and bitter with the earthy pine notes. The tartness conflicts somewhat with the hops, but it’s not a very bitter IPA, so the conflict is minimized. This beer is not shy—it’s packed with juicy, delicious flavor.”
