Collaboration with Odell Brewing Co.
Passionfruit, berry, lemon, citrus, and drifting cannabis notes are the result of some Strata hops we smuggled into the state from some of our brewery friends in Colorado.

Aroma is dank/slightly nutty hops and very grainy malts. The flavor is citrus/fruit, grainy malts and a slightly tropical/lingering dank/nutty hop finish.

Appearance - The beer was hazy, as promised, with a bubbly white head topping the draft.
Smell - Sweet orange ame brfore the the dankness. It fit the style.
Taste - The description promised notes of cannabis. There was little dankness, and a solid amount of creamy orange. There was some bitterness in the finish, but still quite sweet.
Mouthfeel - The body was thick, almost like a protein shake with carbonation.
Overall - It lacked the promised weed.

Dull golden and somewhat hazy with a pillowy white head, this brew looks decent. Sweet and fruity but not potent and a bit muddled on the nose. Muddled scent follows through to the flavor. Not really bitter, fruity but not really flavorful, sort of sweet leaning and light in taste. Not sure what else to say except it could use more carbonation in addition to more flavor.
