16 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Than you Tom. Aroma is mild herb with a very non-descriptive fruit hint. I’ve never heard of Zappa hops. Flavor has undefined fruit with a sharp, herbal bitterness. Borderline astringent. Meh.

Can pour from Steve. Hazy orange with nice sparkle, finger-width white head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is overriding nonspecific sweet fruit, mild citrus, transient whiff of herb. I get the prickly pear in the taste along with the grass and the dank bitterness over cracker base. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, lingering bitterness in finish. I think first experience with Zappa, will have to stay on the lookout. Not super strong.
