A Brew to Remember: Hanging Hills Brewing Company’s Teenage Dirtbag
Oh, the discovery of a peculiarly brewed delight! The teenage adventures of us all may often be full of eccentricities and neat twists and turns. Much akin to that roller-coaster ride is the Teenage Dirtbag by Hanging Hills Brewing Company. Explored by both our panel of experts and editors, this brew claims a resounding score of 95 out of 100. A complex blend of tropical fruits and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc speaks volumes about what Southern Hemisphere hops can do.
First Impressions: The Aroma
Rated at 12, the brew’s captivating fragrance is a sensory dream. Starting with the aroma, notes of tangerine and lemon come to the forefront, immediately making their presence known. Accompanying these bright citruses are tropical undertones that lean into the pine and tea-like realm, painting an eclectic olfactory landscape. The aroma is just a hint of the exotic journey that awaits on your first sip.
A Feast for the Eyes: The Appearance
The appearance scored a comfortable three. It doesn’t scream for attention, but rather seduces you with its unassuming allure. Unlike many other alternatives on the brew market, its charm lies in its simplicity, and you quickly learn how this subtly connects to the other complex characteristics of the beer’s body and flavor.
The Taste Extravaganza: The Flavor
The flavor, grossing a 19, is akin to an exciting whirlwind trip around the world. At the first sip, you’re transported to an orange orchard blossoming in full swing. It soon swiftly evolves to take on the earthy tones of black tea and lemongrass, with a surprising hint of garlic. However, don’t be taken aback; this peculiar addition adds just the right edge and complements the overall flavor profile beautifully. Balancing these are the soft, sweet malts structures, that seemingly gently cradle all these complex flavors. The finish is decidedly bitter, crisp and supremely satisfying, leaving a lingering flavor profile that’s hard to forget.
The Ultimate Experience: The Mouthfeel
Rated at 4, the mouthfeel is smooth, appealing, and delightfully in-tune with the flavor palette. The brew brings to mind thoughts of dried banana chips, green Skittles, and a hint of kiwi, sculpting an adventurous and exciting gastronomical journey. Accented by a green tropical fruit bitter line, the mouthfeel remarkably keeps in check the sweeter fruit notes. Despite the complexity, the brew manages to be nimble and quick, a quality that’s hard to find and cherish.
A Final Word
In conclusion, Hanging Hills Brewing Company’s Teenage Dirtbag is a well-rounded brew that enchants in every sip. Its fruity, complex, yet approachable ensemble of flavors and aromas brilliantly brings out the best of what Southern Hemisphere hops can offer. A venture in itself, this brew packs full marks in excitement, surprise, and sheer brewing brilliance.
