16 ounce can.
Canned 07/14/22.
Collaboration w/ Freestyle Hops.
Dry-hopped with Riwaka and Southern Cross from Freestyle Hops.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a one inch white head over a very light golden, near cloudy body with scant lacing.
Nose of melon predominately at first, with a tiny bit of orange and vanilla appearing under the melon.
Taste of melon, with orange and vanilla coming near midway through on the palate to the finish.
Feel is not as good as I had hoped, but good nonetheless.
Overall, a pretty tasty offering from the boys on the lake.
Cheers!

Pint can poured in a pint glass.
Cloudy straw yellow color that varies throughout the glass. Nice white cap that leaves heavy lacing.
Dime bag dank aroma circa 1978.
Like its look, the flavors bounce around, too. Some citrus and tropical fruits, light malt and wheat, some creaminess.
It feels good to drink.
I liked it from the start, the look and aroma were attractive and it held up nicely.

I’ve had so many Foam brews in the past 5 years, and this is easily one of the very finest they have ever produced. Smooth to quaff, deeply flavorful, nose is buoyant, just a magnificent joy of a beer.

Found this at the Craft Beer Cellar in Waterbury, VT. Canned on date 7/22/21 so super fresh. Collab with Freestyle Hops, who I haven’t heard of until now. Foam beer appearance starts with their can art. Always original and fun. Love that they credit the artist. Pours a slightly hazy gorgeous straw color. Smells of some citrus but also melon. Taste the melony flavors first then citrusy, some nice hints of vanilla in there too. Really well balanced. Mouthfeel was very nice - crisp but still smooth smooth smooth. Overall another awesome beer by the team at Foam - one of Vermont’s best breweries among world-class brewers!
