Teenage Montage : Appearance
Poured out a hazy golden straw colour with a thin white head on top that left some thick streaks of white down the side of the glass. A few yeast spots in the bottom of the glass – unknown if this is deliberate or not.
Teenage Montage : Aroma
Pretty straightforward aroma of grapefruit, lemon, and orange. Not much else going on really but then with this combination of hops, I didn’t really expect much else to come through. There was a touch of sweetness to the beer that took away from the hops, but not enough of a balance between the hops and malt sweetness.
Teenage Montage : Taste
As in the nose, the body to the beer was citrus fruits – grapefruit, lemon, and orange were the main notes that came through with a distinct bitterness during drinking. The malt sweetness was a bit more balanced than in the nose but I couldn’t help thinking that this was a brewed-by-numbers beer from start to finish.
Teenage Montage : The Bottom Line
It’s a good beer for sure, but Teenage Montage just seemed like it had been brewed to stand alongside other double IPAs rather than standout from them.
