First Freak Folk for me and what an outstanding introduction! Incredibly juicy, with a fantastic hop presence to balance this into a sensational elixir. This is the sort of beer I want to bring to 🇧🇧 in February. Thank you Keith!!!

Canned 11/27/24, drunk 12/22/24.
Ultra-pale, blonde-golden, bordering turbid/milky. Very large, snow-white head.
Is that some butter in there?? Almost cheesy/lactic...lots of fresh-squeezed OJ, sometimes Citra can come off that way...Heavy mineral, soft, supple, honey-drenched malts...Mellow, aromatic...
Sadly, yes, that is diacetyl and a fair bit of it. Doesn't completely ruin the beer, but bogs it down with an annoying buttery character at odds with the bright, juicy, citrusy hops. A somewhat dense maltiness with pretty strong attenuation keeps it very interesting and satisfying, the whole time me trying to concentrate on the fresh, juicy, Citra loveliness and not that lingering butter.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a cloudy orange juice with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has dank citrus and grass with a bit of sweet grains and a bit of dank onion underlying. Flavor has dry dank citrus with a good amount of grass, some onion and sweet grains backing.
