Skadoosh XXIV: Mosaic and Columbus Cryo Hops
The Alchemist

A: Poured into a Duvel tulip to a deep yellow orange topped by a dense two and a half fingers of white head which retains well and leaves excellent lacing
S: Smells of juicy citrus, tropical fruits, a little pine and some earthyness with some malty sweetness hiding in the back
T: Taste is juicy citrus with some grapefruit pith and rind, light tropical fruits, extreme amount of dank herbalness and earth with some strong pine oil. Swallow is more juicy citrus, grapefruit rind, hint of tropical fruits, herbs, earth and dankness.
M: This beer has a body that is on the lighter side of medium with smooth carbonation that is just under being prickly while the beer has a super oily and refreshing finish from all the hops.
O: Overall this beer is extremely intense and delicious. Huge hop flavors make this one a real crowd pleaser and the choice in hops really make this beer shine. It's definitely a good one and one to try if you can get your hands on this when it's fresh. It may be a little green for some people but I think it's pretty solid as is.

 

 

 

Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a slightly hazy light golden body with nice lacing. Nose of dank pine, slight tropical fruit, slight bubblegum, and some faint citrus. Wonderful flavors of pine resin, tropical fruit, and slight citrus. the dank Columbus hops are nicely mellowed a bit by the Mosaic hops. Exquisite trademark Skadoosh feel and overall, you can't go wrong if you're lucky enough to get your hands on a 4-pack of this. Cheers to the Alchemist's Waterbury team for this small batch!
