Undated can, sucks Sloop stopped dating their cans...drunk 12/7/23. Heavily hazy, bronze-brass-golden. Small-to-medium-sized, off-white head showing moderate retention. Nose is a lovely mix of spicy, floral, well-done (no garlic/onion/scallion) mosaic. Motueka adds its pleasant, tropical, lightly citrusy, lightly earthy, lightly spicy character. There's a deep, background sulfur/mineral character, soft, biscuity, honey-tinged maltiness and a clean, resin and alcohol-free finish. Soft, earthy, mineral rich, raw and funky with tons of complex spice, a melange of fruits ranging from apple, pear, guava, and kumquat, to light grapefruit and light white grape. Incredibly spicy, yet not acidic or punchy in any way. When a Bomb is on, it's jaw-dropping.
