I hadn&#8217;t been to Hidden Beers for a while, holidays you know, so I went on down expecting to find something special.  I did, but&#8230;there wasn&#8217;t much else to go with it.  Must I settle for IPAs and sours?  I have to admit they can also be surprising and well worth your time.  But I can pick out something a little special from that group too; a TDH NEIPA?  That&#8217;s a new one!  It&#8217;s from solid providers Prizm and Verdant, who have made some tasty collaborations in the past.  Let&#8217;s see if Jus D&#8217;Orange continues the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1824\" style=\"width:365px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230007-scaled-e1769276918135.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Opaque and juicy looking, sort of a natural orange juice appearance.  It&#8217;s bubbly at first, but the head starts thin and vanishes in no time.  Not a strong aroma, just whispers of caraway and sesame.  The flavor is also sedate, but with a depth to it.  It tastes very planty, unsweetened and undrowned in extras.  I feel like the Mosaic was scantly used in comparison to the other two hops, at least from what I remember of Founders (?) Mosaic IPA at Roll.  That was years ago, of course, and memory can be a treacherous thing.  The taste is refreshing and summery, a bright spot for a dark weekend, but there is also some heaviness to the beer itself.  It isn&#8217;t aggressive, but it sits with confidence and gives the impression that it won&#8217;t be pushed around.  It&#8217;s able to present itself as an all-year possibility, a font of freshness in warm weather, a warm blanket in the cold and damp.  It wakes up a little after warming up, but it&#8217;s still pretty much a softy.  I was told to expect a &#8220;bomb&#8221; of a beer (in a positive sense), but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s that explosive.  Really, it&#8217;s probably a more broadly appealing beer because of it.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1825\" style=\"width:357px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/P1230008-scaled-e1769276958363.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supplier: Hidden Beers<br>Price:\u20ac7.90<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I had heard that stouts were in vogue.
