Pours a hazy golden straw color with a foamy white head and nice lacing. The nose is Dank-O-Saurus Rex with that almost oniony tropical citrus aroma that shows up at times in Citra-hopped and Mosaic-hopped IPA’s in my experience.

The dankity dank follows through to the taste, with loads of ripe tangerine and grapefruit the most prominent flavors. If you like dank beers (check!), this beer will work well for you, with the dry mouthfeel accentuating the Dr Dank flavors. Very well done, IMHO.

 

2021 version. 16oz can (no date) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a mostly murky, just enough translucence to barely see my fingers through the pour, dark-yellow/light orange color with over an inch of white head that had moderate-good retention and very light lacing.

Frooty hops hop front in the scent, with some citrus, and no real malt/grain component.

Same on the tongue, but a bit better defined, and with a slight kick of bitterness.

The body was the typical light, smooth, and lightly sweet of the style, with a medium-sweet finish.

Drinkability was OK, YMMV if you like the murksters.

Overall, another FH tick, even though the label says they use FH pellets? WTF?

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a hazy, light to medium golden amber with a half finger white head that dissipates to a thick cap with good lacing. Aroma of pale, lightly biscuit malt, melon, mixed citrus and solid spicy dankness. Flavor is pale malt, grapefruit, yuzu, green melon, a touch of pine; spicy and dankness. Medium bodied with light creaminess and sharp carbonation. Yay! A hazy with a solid, refreshing bitterness. Great fresh hop herbal notes, but also quite a bit of pellet concentration too. The hop bill is all over the place, but mostly dank and grapefruit rind. Nice collaboration fresh hop.

16oz can served in a big snifter. Dated 10/01/20. Bought it at Bottleworks yesterday.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with a medium sized head and medium carbonation. Smell is fresh hops, nice.

Taste is mild tropical, lots of pith, juicy but not sweet.

Mouthfeel is medium thickness, moderate grit sensation. Overall, nice beer.

16oz can served in a pint glass. No date. Collaboration with Full Throttle Bottles and Bottleworks. Smell is just screaming fresh hops. Most perfect capture of the smell of hop harvest that I have smelled this year. Taste is similar, with lots of juicy citrus and tropical notes behind it. This is a very nice beer. Bumping up scores a bit.
