When your Pallys™ at @machops send you some insanely cool experimental hops that you’ve never worked with, you jump up and down with glee, and then after all of that has subsided, you get these hops in a beer! The rub on these hops were very vibrants and one of the best hops we’ve smelled this year. Tasting notes? Think passionfruit. Like, lots and lots of passionfruit. There’s a dab of diesel, a fair amount of kiwi, and some yummo tangerine.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated 10/10/2024. Aroma is fairly hop forward with moderately strong hop notes of passion fruit, guava, tropical citrus. Lighter notes of dank resin and berry. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear, pale, yellow-gold color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong notes of passion fruit, tropical citrus, guava and berry. Lingering dank, oily, pine resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. Nice hop notes that start fruity but have a nice dank, resin finish. Light mouthfeel and malt profile with well balanced alcohol notes. Fairly bitter.
