The awesome bottle shop rep over at Toronto's Blood Brothers Brewing gave me an awesome selection of beers to take home - I gave him a suggestion of hotel beers and beers to surprise me - this is one of the "surprise!" beers he recommended - Cunning of Hand 12 Hazy IPA featuring Idaho 7, Nelson Sauvin & Nectaron. 6.2% ABVAppearance: Your classic, every day Hazy IPA - thick and deep orange juice for the body and a very, very thick snow white hue on top of the beer. The head goes down gradually leaving behind a frothy layer here and there on the glass.
Aroma: Leafy! Floral! Moderately bitter! There's a Five Alive juice vibe in this beer - pineapple, a bit of peach, grapefruit, some creamy notes, moderate bitterness at the end.
Taste: Quite sweet-forward with it giving off a bit of sugariness at the beginning, but then I get notes of pineapple, peach, guava and lemon. It has a creamy, yet silky presence on the palate.
Overall Thoughts: Tasty, tropical IPA!
