Cigar City Fancy Papers

With notes of Mango and tangerine, this Juicy IPA was developed with the same kind of craftsmanship and artistry that can be found in labels printed on fancy papers and applied to the lids of cigar boxes of yesteryear.

3.5 Draft at the airport. Hazy orange. Aroma of tropical fruits, some grain, and hops. Mango, pineapple, and jackfruit well balanced with hops. Pretty good but not a great one overall.
4.0 09-SEP2022, can @home, from Meny. Hazy yellow with a high, lasting, lacing, white head. Peach, tangerine, citrus. Sweet, low bitterness. Very easy and nice drinking.
3.5 Draft pour, cloudy gold. Smells like pineapple upside down cake on the aroma. Oafs of pineapple, pine boards, hint of rum.
3.4 Can. Hazy gold in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of mango pulp, flaked grain, and citrus peel. Flavors of melon, grapefruit, chalk and flaked grain. Medium bodied with a solid amount of bitterness. Well balanced.
3.7 12oz can. Pours hazy golden. Tropical fruits, tangerine, mango, pineapple. Lovely hoppy aroma. Sweet and bitter, really good.
2.6 Tap (Kaunis Kampela, Helsinki) (5:3:5:3:10=2.6) Pale orange, cloudyish. Rough APA chalky aroma. Bland pale ale malts taste, pretty typical NEIPA. Ugh, why?
3.5 Draft at Misconduct. Foggy gold pour with a full cover of soft foam. Wet lace. Sweet juicy light tropical fruit. Mango. Tangerine. Pineapple. Papaya. Melon. Asian pear. White peach. Fair amount of piny hop bite but still feels a bit too sweet. It's fine but missing weight.
3.6 can @ Party Town, Florence KY - Hazy golden amber color, frothy white head that got up to four fingers before settling to an inch. Lots of random lacing. Aroma of light malt and citrus. Taste is tropical fruit that is joined after the swallow by showy bittering. Plenty of taste and body for a summer IPA.
3.6 Can from Beer Republic. Hazy yellow, stable, frothy, white head. Aroma of peach, papaya, pineapple, melon, tangerine, dough, starch. Taste has sweet peach, pineapple & melon, soft sourish citrus over doughy maltiness, bit sugary. Floral hoppy finish with ripe tropical fruits and bittersweet tangerine. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Decent but a tad too sweet.
3.6 Looks like a Neipa should look like. some mango and decently hops and nice to drink but could use a bit Umph.
3.8 Soft palate, cloudy with a mild head. The tannin from malt and oily from the hops. Very seasonable
4.2 Mango aroma. Citrusy tropical fruits. Oats. Floral. Grassy. Light grains. Medium-bodied. Medium bitterness. Lively carbonation. Quite juicy. Decent NEIPA.
3.9 Can. Tangerine citrus aroma with notes of mango, pineapple, grapefruit and some floral hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy mango, pineapple and tangerine flavors. Finishes smooth but a bit dry with grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Pretty nice.
3.6 Hazy, pale yellow with a foamy, white head. Aroma of pineapple juice, citrus, caramel. Taste is bitter with a noticeable malty sweetness underneath. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Well balanced. Quite drinkable.
3.3 The aroma is very hoppy with pine and citrus hops and balanced by plenty of sweet malt. The appearance is hazy gold with a medium head. The taste is like the aroma with a bit more astringency than I want in the style. The palate is very smooth. Overall a robust Hazy that borders on an low grade Imperial.
3.6 12 fl.oz. can. A slightly hazy golden beer with a white head. Aroma of mango, some guava, lemon, pale malt. Taste of lemon, guava, mango, pale malt, some wheat, citrus. Moderate to long bitter finish.
3.4 150ml draught at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. Dotted spots on the glass from a diminishing white head, hazy golden body. Inviting on the aromas with ripe citrus and mango. Well blended hop fruity flavours of citrus drops, including lemon and grapefruit. Bittersweet fruity ending, smooth on the palate. Likable. (Tromsø 28.04.2022).

3.5 Can, 0.33l. Aroma of peach, mango, citrus and biscuit. Pours hazy golden color with medium sized soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy citrusy and mild tropical fruity, following is herbal and grainy, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Fancy hops dancin’…
3.1 Draft at Old Chicago. Poured hazy golden, white head. Aroma of guava, mango, citrusy, lemon. Taste was bittersweet, citrus, grapefruit, pine, orange.
3.0 Tap at Beer Hunters. Dark amber colour, firm small off-white head. Tangerine, marmalade aroma. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Mango, some mandarin in the flavour. Okish but the freshiest keg.
3.3 From a 12 oz. can dated 12/07/21. Medium hazy yellow-amber appearance under a fading white head. Fruity aromas but more specifically mango, grapefruit, apple and pear with a lower profile sort of ashy cereal grain. The body is low medium. The taste is alive with those tropical fruits and a slightly more notable cereal grain. It's the grapefruit that lingers. Adequate for the style.
3.7 (Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 19 Feb 2022) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with lemon, grapefruit, pineapple and passion-fruit. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, passion-fruit and a balanced citric/tropical bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh, juicy and quite tasty. Very nice.
3.5 Can bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Light to mid-gold and hazy with a ring of white head. Some mild fruit flavours in the aroma - some citrus and melon -with vanilla and sugary biscuity malt. Taste is sweet as well, still quite malt-led and incredibly easy drinking with lemony hop on the finish. Soft body and carbonation. A lovely understated IPA.
3.8 Turbid/opaque golden beer with a slight off-white head. Medium aroma; taste starts medium sweet and ends slightly bitter and dry. Orange, tropical fruit, hops and citrus. 7/4/8/4
3.5 12 oz. can. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a medium, frothy, white head. The nose is lemon zest, grapefruit, light grass, and coriander. Sweet and citrusy, with a light bitterness. Fluffy, acidic, and a bit grainy. Simple and solid.
3.8 this is okay. I think the dominant fruit is probably mango which isn't my favorite. medium hop bite. overall decent.
3.8 Murky pale golden color with low white head. Aroma: mango, grapefruit, peach, pine. Taste: mango, resin, tangerine. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderate bitterness. Tasty, fruity, generously hopped, I've got no problem with this.
3.4 Can. Pours a golden with a white head and hoppy aroma. Taste is bitter up front, juicy citrus and hops come through into the juicy hoppy, bitter finish.
