Canned on 6/15/22; consumed on 7/13/22

Pours an opaque, dingy lemon-gold body topped with multiple fingers of dense, soapy, slightly off-white foam; good head retention leaves a paper-thin cap, moderate, frothy collar, and hearty spattering of spotty/webby lacing dotting the walls of the glass.

Aromas see key lime dominant into underripe guava, softened over time with a progressively floral lemon balm; mango peel offers an incredibly subdued sweetness lingering in the backdrop as tangerine and orange peel bring citric zest to the back end of the bouquet.

Taste finds lime peel opening to grapefruit as musty grass and flaky malts over the mid-palate evolve to dew-soaked moss on the back end and lingering, underripe guava on the finish.

Mouthfeel features a medium-light body and a moderate, rounded fluff of carbonation; creamy textures disperse a mild prickle building to a zesty hop twang through the back end while distant resins ease through the finish.

A resoundingly tangy expression capitalizing on a persistent, overarching hop acidity to express brighter, juicy citrus; quenching, though almost entirely one-dimensional and with minimal nuance to the hop bill.

Served in a snifter glass from the can which I picked up at the brewery a few days ago.

Appearance: hazy gold color with a white head which rose about quarter of a fingers length off the body.

Smell: almost a peach skin aroma, floral which dissipates quickly but yet addicting.

Taste: Semi sweet melon, floral feel with hints of yellow grapefruit skin.

Mouth: Medium carbonation, slightly dry with a semi sweet finish.

Overall: Good brew, remix of one of their other variations but nonetheless worth keeping in the fridge any day of the week. Salud!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traded for this at Other Half as it costs a ton of money in tolls to drive out to Sand City from here. I love both of these breweries and like the other reviewers on here, this one didn't disappoint. Green, strong, and sticky, there was a lot going on here but in the end, this went down well for having more than enough heft to it!

Nice, dank and juicy pour to this as there was more than enough head to top it off. Scattered suds lined the side of my Teku glass as a moderate half-ring remained along the back of it. Dank hops, melon, orange juice, and pine filled the muted but varied nose as these all came out much more prominently in the taste. Nectar stickiness, stone fruit, hints of yeast, and booze rounded out the taste as this packed quite a flavorful punch once it warmed up. A bit chalky in the mouthfeel, the slickness emerged fully once this went down as there was some tangerine juice that stuck around until the final sip, and beyond...

Plenty of oomph to this and a slightly light amount of carbonation allowed for the notes to shine through, down to the underlying dankness. Would be nice to let this age but I have enough beers in my basement already doing that! Another winner here that clearly showed the imprints of both parties involved in this collaboration.
