No yeast/lees are visible, but it is hazy enough I'd venture to say it might not've been filtered. ~5 minute head retention (not bad for the 8% ABV).
Drink fresh and don't resist."ĪPPEARANCE: Murky orange-copper body. A solid malt backbone accompanied with a fruity and sticky hop overlay contain one another for a great balance of aroma and flavor. "Crowd Control is a dry-hopped Imperial IPA showcasing Mosaic hops. Sixer ran me $9.99 USD plus tax at a beer store in New Orleans, LA.ĬAN: Green. Jan 16, 2020Ĭurrently #1 in the Top Mississippi Beers list, #450 in the New England IPA list, and #1898 overall. Nonetheless it remains a cult beer for many beer fans. I think it's quite overpriced for what you get ($14.99/4 pack), and there's better options out there. It was sold in singles so I got a few based on the recommendation of the crew. Overall, it's a flavor bomb, but not really my type of IPA. Slight resin and thin carbonation on the finish. The huge caramel-honey notes well up to remind me of Coop's Alpha Hive though not as boozy and less pleasing or clean.įeel is creamy, and has a nice level of carbonation. It's fairly offensive, as I'm not a fan of caramel and honey flavors in my IPA's. Orange pith, honey, caramel, and pine all combine on the palate. Hazy orange juice color with a tall creamy head in my Calusa snifter.Īroma of pine resin, slight honey, tree berry, orange pith, cracker, and pine. A sad story, but this beer is phenomenal fresh. I think that's an issue that needs to be addressed but perhaps that's not the brewery's fault and moreso the fact that MS has not caught on to craft beer and so it sits unsold. The rest of them were old, which compounds the issue of finding fresh So Pro even in MS. I had to sift through 3 or 4 packs in Biloxi to find one that was canned recently. Bitterness builds on the palate and continues to wreck it the more it is sipped, definitely nodding to west coast style.įeel is juicy and acidic, not creamy though, but has a nice hard carbonation and a mild to moderate alcohol heat. I also had this on tap twice earlier today, but I think this can is even better.ĭeep opaque gold, not juicy or hazy, but has a nice creamy head of 2 fingers that destroys the glass.Īroma is huge pineapple with notes of spicy grapefruit, orange peel, mango, slight yeast funk, and cracker malt.įlavor is a pineapple assault with lots of supplemental juicy fruits - blood orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, hints of mango, spicy fruity notes that I can't pin down, and a finish of slight resins and some faint pine. I'm back in Mississippi and reviewing Crowd Control from SoPro again.
