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.

Taster at Growler Guys. Bright golden, small tight head. Aroma is tangerines, tea, slightly floral. Taste comes in with citrus hops, and some no e dry bitterness that grabs hold of the palate and won't let go. Not quite hazy, but borrowing from the style.

Can. Clear gold, white head that's nowhere near three fingers. Aroma of tenor register citrus, "dank" dope and resin, dried mango skin. Quite sweet with light bread and caramelised stone fruit. Citrus and pine ooze through and resin and fairly strong bitterness build towards the finish. Doesn't dry out all that much. Classier than guessed.

Draft 13 oz pour at International 2x4 day 2018, at Hop and Hound. Clean and clear golden pour with a thin oily head. This one kicked quick! Glad I didn't miss it. So many killer imperials, in don't even need to look elsewhere. A bit of a dank hop aroma. Flavor is quite bitter. Citrus peel character with the hop content. Still surprisingly smooth, following suit with the rest of the lineup. Excellent.

Can. Pours crystal clear golden, small off-white head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is dank, vegetal, pot, herbs, spruce, pine. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, dank and piney. Medium body. Good enough.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear orange hue with a large white head. A big dank tropical nose. Big resin, dusty lupulin powder, green, fresh bitterness. A nice IIPA. Big tropical sweetness. Tastes bigger than it is even almost bordering on IIIPA.

On draft at Thai Me Up. Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Aroma is fruity with some pine. Flavors are surprisingly malty for a high IBU beer. Biiter with moderate carbonation. Anoter nice DIPA from Melvin.

Sampled at Meridian Pint, pours a clear gold with some frothy, white head. Nose is reasonably muted for a DIPA, lemon, soap, some pine, a little straw and grass. If there was Mosaic in it, I didn’t find it. Flavor has some pale grist, lemon, grapefruit, pine, straw, grass. Finishes bitter and dry. Expected more.
