A soft hop combo of Hallertau Blanc and Mistral hops paired with a fruit blend from Bird Pick Tea should make for an interesting new pale ale from LA Ale Works.
Not Cerulean
Review – Lion Claaws from Los Angeles Ale Works and Firestone Walker
This milkshake collab between Los Angeles Ale Works and the Firestone Walker – Propagator pours like a grapefruit juice. The aroma is pineapple mixed with coconut. First taste unveils a lot of lactose. A lot. This is sugary. Only little over a week old and the hops of a DIPA are just not to be found. There is some orange juice but that just creates a creamsicle effect.
As it warms some of the bitterness starts to peek through but by then the battle has been won by the lactose. Strong fun flavors but the balance is off to me.
