Perennial Artisan Ales Visions: Piña Colada

What the brewers say

“Hazy IPA with pineapple and coconut, hopped with Sabro, Simcoe, and Citra.”

What our panel thought

“Fresh kiwi in the aroma. Assertive citrus notes in the taste—orange, lemon—along with pineapple and spicy, overripe mango. Some bitterness, but balance is toward the sweet end. Smooth, honeyed middle and a quick finish on the dry side. Fun and different. Creative.”

What our editors thought

“Light woody notes with bamboo shoot and faint tropical fruit. Sip whirls together sweetish tropical fruit with that soft bamboo note for a curiously earthy gestalt.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Perennial Artisan Ales Something in the Orange

“A pillowy head invites you in for a tame lemonade, candied tangerine, tea-like aroma. Little maltiness, and a surprisingly muted flavor of black tea and fruit punch. Well-balanced mouthfeel. Finishes very dry.”

WeldWerks Fruity Bits Pina Colada

**Aroma:** “Big orange, vanilla, possibly chai, tobacco, mangos, pineapple, and coconut. A very light hops spiciness as it warms, but no bittering aroma. Piña Colada aromas are assaulting my brain.” **Flavor:** “Huge spiced and fruit notes of mango, pineapple, and maybe a touch of coconut. The bitterness is balanced and maybe slightly accentuated by, the spices. The fruity flavors are rounded out so wonderfully with a beautiful fluffy mouthfeel that is expertly executed. Finishes with a light alcohol harshness and a ton of coconut.” **Overall:** “A tropical New England IPA—this is what I would expect a Hawaiian New England IPA would taste like. Never has an IPA transported me to a tropical beach so quickly as this beer. So many positive emotions are evoked by just holding this beer near my nose, let alone drinking it. Cheers to the fine souls who brewed this beer.”

Dutchess Ales GB Pale Ale

Earthy, herbal, grassy hop aroma with mild fruit and light toasty malt. In the flavor, nice balance between assertive hop bitterness, earthy-piney hop flavor, and toasty-bread malt. Super drinkable. Lasting bitterness. Could enjoy several. This hits the numbers.
