With her eyes to the night sky, this witch is ready to hop on her broom and take you for a journey. So, lace up them sneakers, and get ready for some hocus pocus; but don’t worry, this curse-sader does not have wicked intentions. Just spells of enchantingly delicious hops and malt from our sacred cauldron. So join our coven of (computer-generated random selection of hops) and enjoy this magical ride.

Cashmere, Citra, Idaho 7 & Galaxy hops to bring forward a brew honoring the women before, currently, and to come putting the “craft” in craft beer.

From a can dated 10/08/21. Sampled June 24, 2022. Old can here

The appearance is a cloudy, hazy orange-amber with a foamy cream colored head.

Aroma is grapefruit, tropical fruit, a tad dank, with a low profile cereal grain.

The mouthfeel is medium.

The taste is almost sweet and bready to start with the stale grapefruit and tropical characters bringing up the rear. Probably was better 7-8 months ago

Pours a hazy pale yellow nice fluffy white head with good lace.

Aroma is tropical fruits , pineapple, mango, melon with some citrus/pine light bitterness hints.

Taste is lightly peppy and fruity notes mostly those mentioned above normal fruity hazy notes. Finish is lightly bitter with normal c hops but also some hints of spicy herbal notes that make it a little tingly and makes me wish this was a tad fresher.

Mouthfeel is medium carbonation is lightly peppy and seems to play well with the hop bitterness.

Overall this one is so close to being really good that I believe if it was younger then 3 months it might push it over the edge.

Poured into a tulip.

Pours cloudy lemony-gold with solid head, moderate retention, and excellent lacing.

Aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, mango, and honeydew.

Pale crackery malt on the tip of the tongue and mid palate. Plenty of tropical sweetness on the front half of the tongue. Mango and pineapple. In midstream, white grapefruit, peach, and apricot. It's there that the more "savory" hops take over, with some grassy, chivy, and finally resiny flavors. The finish is white pepper and juniper.

Medium bodied. Creamy but drying at the finish.

TG keeps putting out NEIPA after NEIPA without mailing them in. This is another really good one.

Poured into a Trillium glass a very nice cloudy pale yellow/orange color, with some very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, melon), with a pretty nice little diesel like. The taste is very nice, hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, melon), with a very nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV is hidden very nicely, with a pretty nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty beer. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake!

Straw yellow in color with a hazy complexion. There’s over an inch of densely packed off white on top. Faint lacing. The aroma is of green veggies and onions. I’m tasting onions and a light amount of green veggies. The mouth is light and smooth.
