Murkier than the waters off the Coast of Amity Island, we gave this HSA the Chum Treatment. Starting w/ a base of wayyyyy to many Malted Oats, this liquid presents like Opaque Milk with a Lavishly Lush Mouthfeel. Hopped w/ Citra, Citra Hyperboost, Freestyle Riwaka SubZero Hop Kief & Freestyle Riwaka. Notes of Passionfruit Pineapple Sorbet, Mango Lychee Daiquiri & Clementine Creamsicle Covered Marshmallows.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a modest creamy sweetness. Fairly savoury hops. Riwaka exotics immediately obvious if hard to pull apart, as usual. A touch of ripe citrus. Back end brings mild skunk and subtle peel notes, some lime peel. Interesting dipa with a darker feel. Rich and sinkable.

Keg at Ms.Hammer Taproom, Beijing. Murky straw colour, faint head. Grassy nose with apricot, grass and grspes. Sweet with nesr full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity, porridgy malt. Overripe tangerine and msngo. Husky finish with serious hop burn. TBH this is neither a looker, nor pleasant to drink. Expensive ingredients, but lack of talent.
