Head Full of Dynomite v.57: Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka
Fremont Brewing Company

Just having this beer. Pours a hazy golden color with a good head. Aroma is tropical citrus with some sweetness and other fruits I can't place. Taste is light malts, orange, mango and papaya. Hop bitterness is very mild. Good beer. BOD 7-30-2024. Rated 1-8-2025

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy yellow pour, foamy head subsides. Aroma brings a nose full of citrus, fresh squeezed. Taste is full of tangerine, orange and grapefruit, juicy and zesty, but still light on the palate. A whole ton of flavor.

16oz can, very familiar in appearance and malt/wheat/oat base profile, the hops are extremely expressive, not quite 'bright' based on their profile but certainly strong...has an over-ripe and earthy presence to it, kind of zesty and aggressive...citrus rind, melon, dank, and dry. OK but not great (to me).

I haven’t liked a HFoD for a long time.
Great beer!
I got some welcome dank notes.

Many thx to muchloveforhops3 for this can.

A - Opaque medium orange gold colored pour with thin, dense, creamy lacing.

S - Big fruity nose with pineapple, peach, mango, and a small shot of lime mixed in.

T - Citrus, tropical fruit, peach, mango, a little bit of lime (it was stronger on the nose than it is on the palate), and ends on the sweeter side with minimal bitterness.

M - Full body that's soft, chewy, and lots of prickly carbonation.

O - A rock solid IPA and really stoked to have tried this!

i hate myself for missing out on a number of these in a row, i used to see them everywhere, but seems like not as many have been coming out to idaho, or else i havent been carefully beer shopping well enough. this is stellar, as good as any of them really, such a fantastic expression of the nelson and motueka together, juicy as can be, with almost no appreciable bitterness, only for a second at the end, a creamy feel, and a really modern and exciting hop profile overall. blonde and hazy, short lived almost inch of white head, not as dense as some of these have been, perhaps ever so slightly less carbonated than it could be. waxy raw honey, coconut, cantaloupe, pineapple, orange, and passion fruit on the nose, amazing brightness, and it starts early and intense in the flavor too, like there has to be some hop products in it, the saturation is high but its neither green nor especially bitter at any point, amazing. juicy citrus, exotic overripe tropical fruits, terpene and thiol forward but seemingly without engineered yeast. there is some sweetness that sort of candies the hops and adds to the mid palate intensity, subtle gin and white wine character, papaya and mango too, and like a lemon cream vibe. the grain is layered and supportive and this is balanced in a new school way, a little oily but without palate permanence, i taste every sip almost brand new, uncommon with hazy beer. i think the simcoe adds a lot, but these three together hit as unique, and this is about as juicy as they get. incredibly flavorful and drinkable, this series continues to deliver, i will do better in trying to keep up with them all! would have hated to miss a beer this distinguished, truly awesome!

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, guava, nectarine, apricot), very nice diesel like. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, guava, nectarine, apricot), very nice diesel like.
