Blue Moss
Hop Butcher For The World

Purchased at one of my local distributors (Goshen Beverage). Pours a very hazy bright orange-ish yellow with a moderate creamy head. Very little aroma. Some ripe tropical fruit. Very well balanced: juicy ripe pineapple with a decent malt backbone. Some hoppy bite. Lush full mouthfeel with very delicate carbonation. Overall, excellent!

Canned 2/6/26

Compared to Other Half Nectar Diamonds 3/26: Pours darker, milder aromas. Less tropical blueberries. More orange. Similar stonefruit and overall. Sweeter.

to Hop Butcher Impossible Bottle 4/26: Pours lighter, similar head. Milder aromas. More earthy stonefruit, grapefruit, pine. Less orange creamsicle, peach, pineapple, mango. Winner: Impossible Bottle

Overall: Citra, Simcoe, Nectaron. Lots of orange, berries, stonefruit. Nice balance of hops here. Leans sweet and slightly hot, but will settle out better with time. Nice showcase of Nectaron. (Rating: 4.03)

Yellow in color with a hazy complexion. There’s a quarter inch of frothy off white on top. Moderate, soapy lacing is on the glass.There’s aroma is of lime and melon. I’m tasting bitter citrus and cantaloupe. The mouth is smooth and prickles the tongue.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sticky rings of lace. It smelled of grapefruit, orange, pineapple and caramel. Great tropical fruit burst of flavors with toasted caramel and a sharp piney bitterness.

Canned 2/9/26. Another tasty, well balanced NE ipa Moss variant from HBFTW with good mouthfeel; thick haze; medium hoppiness; a citrusy/fruity/juicy/orangey-kinda flavor and a clean, quick-fading backend. Very quaffable.
