Sweet tropical hoppy, slightly malty, honeydew melon, and a stonefruity citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with a murky-soft, malty, hint of melon, and a grapefruit citrus bitter finish. This is pretty good, but, as it warms, those pesky melon notes start to dominate the backend. This along with the maltiness makes this just a touch less enjoyable than expected.

 

Opaque corn milk yellow with a fluffy white head slowly condensing to leave spongy bubbles of lacing on the glass while retaining fairly thick.

Smell is dank and peppery sesame cracker and toasty cannabis seed. A hint of shortbread comes out here over time.

Taste adds sweeter yet tangy tropics--think rambutan and pineapple--countered by a formidable resinous sting.

Explosive, I might ding this more depending on the acid levels in my gut, because it's a bit punchy, yet made more enjoyable by its fulfilling froth in spite of its sharper body.
