Pushing the hop envelope further we travel to the next planet in our solar system, Venus, where we contemplate new ways to drink and fly. Here you will experience intense resinous flavors with an appropriate amount of bitterness balancing the robust nature of this edition.

Appearance: Pours a clear pale golden color with a three finger head; great retention and a curtain of lacing
Smell: Resinous aromatics with plenty of pine; some white wine grape, pear and lemon pith, as well
Taste: The piney resins are front and center here; underneath, there is a bit of cracker malt, pear and white wine grape; after the swallow, a touch of lemon pith adds citrus to the bitterness
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation
Overall: La Cumbre does it again here with the latest Project Dank version
Thanks, kevindp9, for the opportunity

Poured into a Tree House glass a very nice hazy dark yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some very nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, guava), pretty nice pineyness. The taste is very nice, hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, guava), very nice pineyness. Medium body, ABV is hidden pretty nicely, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, a very tasty beer.

Clear, soft golden body; dense, slow-rising carbonation; volcano-shaped head, white and creamy textured. Spicy and pungent aroma; faint hints of mint and pine resin. Hop-forward flavors; earthy spices and pine resin; mild cracker malt flavor; lingering hop bitterness. Medium body; crisp with an overall dry finish.
