An ode to 30 minute convos in a white Sprinter, White Van Vibez combines Citra, Strata, and El Dorado hops on the hot side of the brewing process. Then we dry hopped exclusively with Galaxy hops. Notes and aromatics of citrus, papaya, pineapple, and grapefruit.

Served in a snifter glass from the can.
Appearance: Hazy pale gold color. White head rose maybe 12mm above the body.
Smell: Slight soap aroma, light...floral and dissipates quickly.
Taste: Bitter but sweetens up after a few sips. Let it warm up and tastes better after a few minutes sitting in your glass
Mouth: Medium carbonation coming off very sticky.
Overall: Not a bad brew, would not chase it but good to grab if it crosses your eyes. Salud!

16oz can. Can bottom is stamped for canning date of '10/24/21'. Label says this brew is in collaboration with Hoof Hearted Brewing.
Murky, pale gold colored body. Two fingers of creamy white head upon pouring, and this recedes back to a very thin cap. Some partial walls of lacing are left behind.
Aroma of the hop fruits of orange, papaya, and pineapple. Mostly a sweeter aroma, and not showing much bitterness.
Taste is quite earthy, with a prickly touch. Hop flavors of orange and pineapple. The same flavors trail off in the aftertaste. Very low bitterness.
A little thinner than medium mouth feel. Has the hop bite, but not a burn. Very good carbonation.
The earthy hops and the slight bite are the distinctive attributes here. The other flavors are ones very often found in modern IPAs. There is some dryness, which allows for rapid imbibing.
