Mr. Ouroboros is the follow up wet hop beer to Sticky Fat. Both are brewed with freshly picked, whole cone hops straight from the harvest. Both are hop forward, juicy potions demonstrating the perfume quality you can extract from the cones. And, both are odes to the lore of the fields. We were joined by friend and fellow brewer Jonathan Cutler of Piece Brewpub to bring this beer to you. We utilized a kolsch yeast strain and bags & bags of whole cone Citra to land on a beer all its own.

I had this on draft 10/12/23 @ Half Acre's taproom.
Semi-opaque orange appearance.
Nice white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lacing remained.
Grapefruit, ganja, fruit punch & dry grass notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Grapefruit & dank ganja flavors up front; dry grass & faint fruit punch notes on the finish.
A little too dank & dry for this timid soul, but it's palatable.

Very pleasant beer with a very unique taste. Surprised me in several ways.
A-carmel brown, very clear. Nice lacing, but little carbonation.
S-light, but beautiful, nose. Fruity and sparkly in aroma.
T-unique. Dry and crisp. Hops linger on your tongue.
M-again, pretty dry, especially in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel of an IPA.
Great collaborative between two great small brewers. I could drink it everyday and not get tired of it for a long while.

My first growler from Half Acre is a winner. It has distinct and all-in hops. It's unapologetic in flavor and stays with you long after each sip. It tastes home-brewed and and is addicting in that each taste varies from fruity to hoppy to bitter to dusty. For me, that artisanal quality is what makes a beer a 5.
