pours a hazy orange gold body with an off-white foam head that peaks at a finger high and holds with moderately high retention before settling to a rocky halo and leaving thick splatters of lacing behind as it does.
aroma is a pungent and heavy dose of citrus (orange, grapefruit) and pine. it's dank yet super clean
taste is thick dose of heavy hopping citrus and earthy pine and lands super juicy with a honeyed bready malt backbone.
mouthfeel is mid-level carbonation and medium bodied. it runs smooth with pillowy carbonation prickles throughout before finishing sem-dry and leaving a tropical, thick hoppy aftertaste
overall:
boy howdy this was a ride. it's a dry hopped jam, and the aroma backs up that claim. it's insanely juicy and yet has this dense thicket of pine and grapefruit in the mix that provides a very pronounced 1-2 combo that landed great for this hop head. it swings like a NEIPA and lands like an OG. good and solid mixture here.
