Cloud Climber is a new beer and an entirely new hop experience for us here at SARA. Utilizing @freestylehops brand new SubZero Motueka Hop Kief™️, Cloud Climber expresses an intense hop aroma, bright and citrusy, without some of the plant matter/vegetal notes that you might get with hop pellets.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 17, 2023. Aroma is hop forward with a lot of passion fruit, tropical citrus, orange and grapefruit. Medium light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear, golden straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly hop forward with lots of citrus notes - tropical, orange and grapefruit. Lighter notes of passion fruit and a light dank, oily notes in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. The hop kief works well and delivers bright hop notes. While I think it's fun, I feel like this is missing a bit of hop complexity that comes from the vegetative matter.
