Hey! Look what I found! My can of Parish Super Nova Double India Pale Ale. People were posting photos of it all over Untappd, and commenting with generally favorable opinions. I could not find the can I bought from Half Time for the life of me, though. Was it lost in space? When I did find it, it was on the door of my office beer fridge, in one of the bottom slots where you can only see the top of the can, which looks like any other really.

Found it just in time, too, for the newly discovered, 12-mile-wide interstellar object a11pl3z, now called 31/ATLAS,  to come zipping into the solar system. It was discovered July 1^st. Just a few days from Independence Day. Hmmmm.....

Parish says:

Inspired by one of our most requested IPAs, Nova Vert, we present Super Nova. Hopped heavily with Mosaic, Simcoe, Cascade, and Amarillo adding notes of passionfruit and peach, it builds on its predecessor by being more saturated and with a higher ABV. This is how a supernova would taste if handcrafted — as if, after burning for billions of years, our Nova Vert IPA collapsed in on itself and exploded, releasing all its dank hoppiness in one glorious burst.

They list the following hop varieties:

Hops: Amarillo/Cascade/Mosaic/Simcoe

Parish Super Nova Double India Pale Ale has an alcohol content of 8% by volume and I paid $5.49 for my can from Half Time. Apparently the beer was not lost that long as I only bought it on May 27^th. Total Wine sells it for $17.99 a 4-pack in Tallahassee, Florida. My can had no freshness dating.

Parish Super Nova Double India Pale Ale pours to a hazy orange juice color with a thick fluffy white head and a nose of bright vibrant orange and tangerine juice notes. Taking a sip, the beer is light to medium in body, a little heavier than usual in the style, and I like that. It’s as juicy as the nose promised with more orange and tangerine but also tropical pineapple and mango and more than those stone fruit apricot. The beer finishes with a balancing, quenching minty bitterness and is quite refreshing indeed.

I like it. It’s like a starburst of citrus flavor in my mouth, and I would be happy to drink it again.

 Glad I tried it?  T

Would I rebuy it??
