We brought all our favorite characters from the Pulpy series home for a reunion. The result is a hop combination mash up that even exceeds what we normally do. Over eight pounds per barrel make this one the most hop forward beers we have ever made.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: pale yellow cardboard haziness with a two finger white frothy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did light lace formed
Aroma: mixed citrusy, melon-like, grapefruity and some mixed dark berry hop notes; light clean malts
Flavor: meshed the prior noted aromas together in a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes grapefruity to melon-like and juicy
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; somewhat sessionable; good smoothness; nice low carb, and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I would definitely welcome this beer again.

Aromas are citrus pith, pine resin, malt and herbs. Flavors are similar to nose. Citrus comes out more with good carbonation and is more sweet than bitter. Been done many times before but still very drinkable.

Pours murky gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Tangerine and pineapple aromas. Sweet with hot apricot, peach, melon and tangerine upfront turning to dirty tropical fruit skin in the dry, lasting finish.

16 ounce can from Libby’s Liquors. Pale yellow gold color. Rocky white head leaves nice lacing. Floral hop aroma. Juicy sweet tropical fruit flavors abound. Notes of tangerine, mango, pineapple and melon. Wonderfully smooth and drinkable.

5 oz. pour on tap at the brewery. Cloudy dark yellow w/cap of head, nice lacing. Aroma is strong herb and tropical fruit. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength.
