This one pours a fairly hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like melon, grassy hops, hay, grapefruit, lemon, and mango.
This is really tasty, and done for a very cool purpose. It’s got a nice, dry, rustic sort of bitterness, herbal and spicy, with a very juicy and smooth hop character – mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and melon.
This is medium bodied, creamy, and soft, with a great drinkability.
This was brewed for an excellent cause, and it’s really tasty to boot.
