A stunning hazy, juicy hop bomb. Poured from a can dated 12-20-2018. The cans I had are labeled "DDH Love Letter from the 90s," so I assume it's an even more intensely dry hopped version of the previous Love Letter that is listed here as retired. Pours a hazy yellow, with two fingers of firm, rocky white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Powerful hits of citrus, tropical fruits and a hit of pine in the nose. Pillowy soft mouthfeel, same citrus and tropical flavors on the tongue, with a nice hit of dank bitterness to follow. Really, really good beer - best I've had from Free Will, and they make some very good beers.

Pours a cloudy yellowish orange color. Nice, smooth, tropical fruit bomb with a creamy, sweet lactose back. I could drink this beer all day.
