Brujos Brewing

other half collaboration and a dope name for a beer and i think the best label art ive ever seen, so reverent and special, a huge reason why this is so appealing, like this would be good just because of the can, my god its a truly epic label, never seen one quite like it, respect on all fronts for the design here, cannot say enough about it. the beer is wicked too, not like i needed it bright and early in the morning after a big night, but do you really check a bag for a single pint can? kind of wish i had, but this hit anyway, which says even more about it. my sensible side said just leave it in the hotel fridge, my beer side said crack it! creamy milky straw looking dense but refined too, an inch of white head, great retention, thick but without sediment at all, muted but gorgeous. the nose is melon and southern hemisphere hops to me, zero bitterness or harshness, seems impossible its as strong as it is, like this is juicy and fresh and almost light to me, wow. coconut, honeydew, cucumber or something, green without being vegetal if that makes sense, lotion, feminine, delicate for being huge, and the flavor is there too, verdant and herbal, verbena, underripe pear, green gooseberry without the acid, that sort of thing. massive feeling, like the hops are just surfing a wave set in motion by a huge grain bill, oats i would assume, maybe unmalted wheat, its off dry overall and it does linger with the hop oils. light spiciness too, creamy feeling, not bitter, melon and genever, coconut cream pie, whipped honey. adored this, thanks to my homie for sharing, nothing quite like debating not having a beer and then being floored by the one you open...
