Don't touch me, 'cause I'm electric. And if you drink me, you'll get shocked! Experience pure uncut lupulin powder. In their clandestine lab, in the wild of Yakima, the crew processed Mosaic + Simcoe hops into alpha acid pow pow. The Melvin Crew inhaled deep, and the legend of the hop shocker was born.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is all mosaic fruity hop goodness with a little typical green onion. Flavor is again a big hit of fruity mosaic hop. No bitterness or alcohol, even though this has simcoe powder in it, this beer is all about the mosaic power. If mosaic is your hop then this beer is for you.

Tap@Himmeriget, Copenhagen - Orange Amber coloured hazed pour with a white head. Fruity and malty with some notes of tangerine, peach, grapefruit, pretty sweet, a sweet sticky caramel malty backbone, some toffee, pine needles, resinous hoppy medium bitter finish. Solid old school dipa.

355ml can [as "Hop Shocker", 8.0%]. Minimally milky, brass colour with small to average, thick, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Caramel malty and slightly perfumed, citrusy and fruity, hoppy aroma, jelly bear-like hints of pineapple, mandarine. Taste is bitter and fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, pale and caramel malty backbone, minimally artificial, jelly bear-like fruity notes of pineapple and mandarine, a citrusy touch; concentrated lupulin finish with liquorice touch. Slightly restricted, almost a bit aseptic hop flavours; hop varieties cut off their characteristics: not much orange (Simcoe), no tropical aspects (Mosaic).

330 ml can from Beerox bottle shop, Riga. Pours clear golden-yellow, some white foam on top. Pretty transparent and does not really look like a serious IPA. Surprise-surprise! Fresh fruity and tropical nose, light pear, mango and papaya. Damn, thats good. Tastes light, sweetish tropical fruits, good hop character and bitterness to balance that out. Quite dry overall, so this one is dangerously easy to drink. 8.1% is not a joke but drinks like something much less potent. Melvin at its best (and Melvin has been great!).
