Foley Brothers Prospect

**Aroma:** “Big citrus notes of grapefruit and orange with some tropical fruit behind, mainly mango. Huge hops nose, herbal and spicy, with grassy undertones. I could smell this well before I brought it to my face. Very nice fresh hops character. Nice pine, grassy sweetness.” **Flavor:** “Rich toasted malt backbone to support the huge hops bill. Hops are a nice blend of citrus and tropical fruit. Orange and mango with a touch of pineapple, lemon, grapefruit. Finishes intensely bitter but not harsh. The hops flavor is every bit as pronounced as the nose—it’s huge and fresh. The herbal spiciness is here in spades, but now I can get a bit of pineapple, evergreen, and perfume as well. Finishes sweet and juicy with some balanced bitterness and some warmth. The body is not big, but is nice and allows a good showcase of the hops.” **Overall:** “Massive hops character of all the right sort. Great beer. Very nice flavor bomb. The body did just enough to allow a good showcase of the hops. Very fruity and juicy and kept me wanting more.”

“Coconut hop profile sideswipes right up next to citrus pith both in the nose and flavor. Beautiful and pillowy soft body; delicate sweetness underlies a mix of tropical hop character. Understated, but very well crafted and balanced.”

**Aroma:** “Nice fruity juicy hops aroma— blueberry, raspberry, oranges, and some evergreen. Honey sweetness with a slight spicy, low phenolic note and a touch of plum.” **Flavor:** “Full avor both from the body and the hops character. Loving the blue- berry! I don’t know how it got into this beer, but it’s a welcome twist. Caramel malt backbone elevates the hops to just where they need to be. Bright back-of- the-tongue bitterness and an incredibly creamy mouthfeel.” **Overall:** “I really liked this IPA—it’s full of flavor, and all the flavors seemed to complement each other. A fun riff on a fruit-forward American IPA with outstanding berry character that’s interesting and unusual. Appropriate malt character and bitterness points to how well blended and integrated it is. Big juicy notes with a moderate bitterness.”
