Less is more, SMASH! is a Single Malt and Single Hop beer.
Strata and Pilsner malt, that's it! A good way to discover all the richness and power of this hop that we love.

33cl can, BB 24/02/2023, batch# P569-570.
Dorée-pâle, col crémeux tenace blanc-cassé.
Arôme est sur un léger fruité tropical/exotique - ananas, mangue fraîche, effet dank, pointe herbacée rappelant la sauge - rétro-nasal de citronnelle/agrumes.
Palais garde une belle mise en avant de houblon Strata supplée d'un apport de malt pils. Niveau houblon, je note un léger fruits à noyaux, exotique, fruits verts avec une petite note herbacée et un léger côté de fraise. Le tout est assez sec en fin de bouche avec un côté poudreux.

Pours unclear blonde. Small white head. Scent is fruity, citrussy. Taste is sharp, fruity hop, pale ale level of maltyness. Fairly creamy. Mild bitter touch, a tad soapy. Creamy hops. Citrus, tad green. Good, but not overly unique.
