PURPLE STICKY PUNGE is another BRAND NEW riff on an old favorite, brewed for this year's PLANET PUNGE celebration. Built on the classic base of 2-row and oats, and dry-hopped with our favorite super-dank New Zealand Nelson and Motueka. Then this batch got hit with a heavy handed dose of Bacio Gelato Terpenes to take the dankness to the next level! If you know, you know ? Notes of resinous pine, musky cantaloupe, and being stuck in a bubble, but still able to cause trouble.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Murky orange gold pour. Massive, rocky white head. Big weedy hop aroma has dank, resinous overtones. First sip brings notes of lime, weed, kiwi and white grape must. Lots of dank citrus, black pepper and pithiness. Some warming alcohol on backend. Very interesting, indeed.

Canned 8/11/25, drunk 12/4/25, as pictured.
Oh boy, smells like terpenes. Floral and spicy with heavy black pepper and extra skunky, heady weed. I get a bit of citrus and tropical fruit rind, but the skunky weed spice character dominates. As it warms/breathes, I'm getting a bit more hop, but the terpene remains dominant. Malt shows honey and white bread to gently balance and there is no resin or alcohol noted.
Flavor is better balanced, though the terpene is still fairly prominent. A lovely, deep, well-attenuated malt helps soak it up and balance, while lots of lime-heavy fruit salad and tropical fruit skin emanates from the actual hops. Heavy pepper and floral, skunky, weed-like bitterness on the finish. Gets a touch overbearing. Not sure what these terpene beers think they're doing. The terpene is always overdone and dominates, adding a skunky, peppery bitterness and character that just doesn't add anything beneficial, IMHO.
