Clear dark amber in the chalice. Intense aroma of weed, citrus, pine, and leaf mold. This is a serious hop attack. There may be such a thing as too much Mosaic. Dark and fruity, like peaches and pineapple on the grill, even the caramelized taste. It's even hot and spicy somehow. I don't taste anything like onions etc but it's kind of beyond dank. Quite bitter, but not undrinkably bitter. This is actually drinkable, or maybe sippable— but I think it will do batter to flavor a rather austere Pale Ale I have half a jug of. From the 16 oz can, apparently not dated.

 

Umm, nah. It’s a bit weird. It starts off well like the captain of the cheerleading squad before she met the varsity QB, but once she started dancing with Johnny football, it goes downhill. Yeah, once this thing lingers, it’s kinda, well, just weird and slick. And we ain’t talking Sinatra “slick,” I’m more so thinking like a turd in your skivvies.

Whatever.

Peace.
