There’s no secret for our affinity of all things Freestyle Hops has to offer. We dreamt up this hoppy alongside Freestyle Hops to push the boundaries on all aspects of or hopping procedures. This liquid starts out with our ultra pale base and presents with a Shake-Like mouthfeel. Insanely dense, creamy & saturated. Enough Subzero Hop Kief was used to make our CFO blush. Hopped w/ Freestyle Nelson, Freestyle Maui Nelson SubZero Hop Kief, Freestyle Rakau. Notes of Pineapple Vanilla Shake, Ripened Tropical Drip & Exotic Nectar.

Sweet tropical hoppy, slightly malty, a hint of white wine grape, and a grapefruit citrus-dank nose on this one! Interesting...had to search for the aromatics a bit. It is almost like the aromatics were an afterthought here...really nondescript for the Nelson hops used. Taste follows with a orange juicy citrus-dank bitter finish...that in-your-face hop burn is dialed back a little with this one. Palate>Nose here IMO but this has a beautiful color, drinks like a double, and is some straight hoppy breakfast orange juice! Delicious!
*Edit: After having multiple cans of this and after it had time to sit in the can for a few days, it really settled in and became much better! The nose still wasn't poppin', but it changed from "not being enough" to "just enough" to prepare the palate for all that Nelson goodness! This is now drinking (and smelling! LOL!) much better than my first can which was a few days after the canning date. Also, the hoppy bitter bite on the backend has melded into some straight up Nelson dominant, hoppy orange juice. This is fantastic!
Rating reflects changes...was previously a 4.46.
