Our super special buds at Yakima Chief have been experimenting with blending hops to achieve flavors and aromas redolent of specific fruits and were kind enough to let us play with some super, extra, top secret new experimental blends. No fruit was harmed in the making of this beverage.

Can. White head. Hazy yellow golden color.
A bit more flavor than exhibit m, but still on the lighter side of BS. Lemony, grapefruit, guava. Some melon. Fruity and tropical. Earthy hops, light bitterness.

12oz can. No dating information found.
Murky, straw colored body. One finger of white head. Leaves some connected strings of lacing.
Aroma is lemon citrus and blueberry. Hop centric is more sweet than any kind of bitterness.
Taste is hop driven with a vegetal base, but the flavors are sweet blueberry and lemon citrus. Vague sweetness in the aftertaste.
More than medium mouth feel, and soft. Just a little chalky. Lesser carbonation.
Certainly a hop experiment. Higher ABV% is well hidden. Smells and flavors are mellow and vague; future batches may bring out more expression.
