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.

Tap at Hair of the Dog, Bangkok. Poured a light hazy straw colour with a short lived frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malt, grassy hop, light citrus fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a fresh crisp, fruity, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Crowler shared in London - cheers to Cloin. Pours clear gold with a small, creamy white head. Good snout, pine, semi-ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavor, nice juicy citrus, tangerine, melon, peach, mellow bitterness. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, resinous, low bitterness, more juicy citrus and oily pine. Really solid.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Cloin for the giant can. Bright clear, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, nice light sweetness, trace of cream. Good pine, whisper of skunk. Nice citrus, orange, mild lemon. Trace of spice. Smooth finish. So nice to have a clean DIPA.
