When exploring the French alps, we came across something we did not know exists. While hiking, Joel screamed “F*ck, that’s a Laser Raptor! I thought they went extinct thousands of years ago!” Little did we know, this Raptor was friendly. He had been outcasted decades ago and started his own brewery in Switzerland. After a few beers with this Raptor, we decided to do a collaboration and dedicate this beer after him! If you are wondering his name, it’s Jeff or El Jefe after a few beers.

Can, partagée aevc Tderoeck @ Sebletitje post-Vini, Birre, Ribelli 2017 tasting. Dorée trouble paille, sorte de jus pressé presque de jaune d’œuf, col blanc minime. Arôme au bouquet fruité marqué par un nez de fourrage, citronné, agrumes, tropical avec un rétro de grains et une levure dans style neipa qui prend aussi un caractère pointu. Palais est houblonné, pas mal de fruits, résineux, pamplemousse, paille et foin fraichement coupé. Herbe coupée, petite note épicée venant du côté neipa. Cette dernière confère le côté habituel de poudre d'oignon et d'ail et un léger effet de citron vert.

Draft pour at Novemberfest at Rustico Alexandria. Poured a cloudy, dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was juicy hops, some resin, but pretty smooth - not a lot of bitterness. Mild floral character comes through, stone fruits.

Form a crowler at the DC tasting July 10, 2016. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Fruity nose. Flavors of pine, citrus and caramel. Bitter finish. Update: from a fresh can purchased at the brewery Nov. 2, 2017. Seems far better than the crowler a year ago.

Poured into a snifter showing lightly if not completely unfiltered dark yellow and half a finger of white foam. The nose is dank with hints of lemon and papaya . The palate is light bodied and lightly carbonated. Flavors of dark cannabis with a harmonious bitterness on the finish.
