Can poured into a snifter showing turbid apricot yellow with sparse white foam. The nose shows strong notes of guava and NE style malt with lighter notes of papaya. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Pronounced flavours of guava and NE style malt with a mild bitterness on the finish. Resurgence of more guava on the end.

Growler and can. The beer looks is white-yellow-tan and thick, like whipped cream in orange juice. Medium white head that can’t quite support its own weight. I’ve seen yeast starters with less sediment. The aroma is just straight up orange pineapple juice with a squeeze of kiwi and lime. I feel like I’m huffing tangerines. Taste is like the oil squeezed from a grapefruit rind in a tropical fruit salad. Moderate to medium bitterness. Relative to the hop flavor present, it’s not very bitter, but there are limits on these things. The mouthfeel is rich with hop oils, like chewing on hops rich. Sorta light, sorta creamy. Coats the palate like whoa. Pretty astringent. The finish is citrus rind for days. Despite all of that, the beer goes down super easily. My pint can was empty almost before I could even start writing. This stuff is wonderful. Hoof Hearted continues to refuse to practice any sort of moderation in hoppy beer brewing, and I can’t wait to try more.
