TASTING NOTES
Hazy gold; white head. Highly aromatic ripe mango, peach, and pineapple with a dank touch; medium-low bready malt. Medium-full-bodied; moderate carbonation. Juicy and fruity mangoes, peach, and pineapple were noted, which were reminiscent of gummy worms; subtle resiny/leafy quality. Moderately low bready malt backed the fruity flavors. Medium-low bitterness; moderate sweetness. This Hazy IPA concluded with lingering mango and peach impressions.
THE VERDICT
Excellent. Continued Learning No. 05 approached the sweeter side of the Hazy IPA spectrum, but without the cloying/excess sweetness. Interestingly, this beer reminded us of fruity gummy worms, which made this Hazy IPA quite a memorable drink.
