Sweaty Passion, Cleveland Steamers....I,m sorry I missed it!!
After all the talk of Sweaty Passion I had to give this a go first.
Had a bit of chill haze because I left it in the fridge for a couple of day. Had a really nice peachy/passionfruit aroma and I got a little bit of a biscuty undertone from the malt as well. It was a nice compliment to the aroma in mind. Has a kind of sharp bitterness which wasn't really to my liking. It lingered around for a quite a while and tastes more than 35 IBU. Maybe coming from the hop combo but I could taste the Moteka on the palate where as the Nelson Sav was more on aroma. Well made beer with no off-notes but just a little too lingering in the bitterness area for me.
Cheers for your feedback, much appreciated! There's definitely a bit of haze there, I'd like to think its a combo of hop resins and chill haze ;)
I'd hazard a guess that the 35 IBU is an underestimate, but that's what promash spits out. For my taste the balance is pretty much spot on, I didnt' get any lingering bitterness from the keg. Unfortunately I have finished my 2 kegs of this beer now and I don't have a reference bottle to go back to. When I kegged it the passionfruit was almost overwhelming!
Shared this one with my wife, she doesn't usually like hoppy beers but got through this one reasonably quick and she says: "mmm fruity".
Poured a slightly hazy pale copper colour. Wonderful tropical fruit flavor/aroma and a crisp hop bitterness which I really enjoyed, just enough malt to support without being too thin. Is this US05 ? I detected that same aroma in the background that I get off US05 beers which I picked up from barry's beer aswell, I wish I could find the words to describe it.
Reminded me of alot of Hopwired...a younger brother perhaps. Very nice, thanks Haish !
Pours a slightly hazy gold, with a tight head that subsides reasonably quickly. Aroma is all luscious tropical fruit with some citrus in behind. On the palate it's awesome, a great fruity hop smack with caramelly malt to back it up and a really firm bitterness that balances the whole thing nicely.
Well brewed Haish, I really enjoyed this and would very easily have dealt to several more bottles if I had them. Cheers!
Just got home after working 12 hours on a fusion jazz gig, and (naturally) I'm in a shit mood.
Anyways I need a beer!
Appearance: Deep golden, hazy. Looks like my kind of pale ale! Head didn't last long but I don't really care about that stuff.
Aroma: That's NZ hop fruity goodness. I thought 100% Sauvin, turns out not!. I'm excited, and want to drink it!
Flavour: Perfect bitterness for my money, some sweet malt in there, did you mash a little higher or that the caramalt etc coming through? Shit I love golden promise though huh?
Mouthfeel: Firm carbonation, for my money it might actually be nicer slightly under-carbed, but then I've been drinking heaps of warm flat Crouchers (delicious!) recently.
All in all, this is the sort of thing I love to spend all night drinking, I wish I had another (6!). Thanks bro
A classic NZ pale ale. Aggressive bitterness, tropical/temperate fruit, big balancing caramel malt character, very drinkable. I got a bit of diacetyl in there, which would probably see it miss out on any "new world" or american-style medals in competition, but it wasn't enough to stop me enjoying my evening of sweaty passion. It just made it feel like an English/NZ pale ale.
Nice drop, great label...
Slainte mhath!
