Crunchy tunes bro. Hopped with a heady blend of Simcoe, Mosaic, Chinook, Motueka, J-17, and Comet. Notes of stonefruit, melon, miscellaneous tropical fruits, earth and pine.

The beer is a nice bright gold color. Liquid is quite clear. Medium ish white head. Fine bubbles, some lacing. Decent retention. Some legs. The aroma is full of juicy fruity hop goodness. Bright and tropical. Big peach, grape, pineapple, mango, tangerine. A little bit of pine resin spice underneath the fruit. It’s a very nice mix of flavors. Big fruity hop flavors in the taste as well. Mild bitterness, picking up a little in the finish. Tangerine and mango and melon. Papaya, sweet orange. I’m just throwing out fruits now. No real bland bitterness. Doesn’t have the mineral flavor of some of their hoppy stuff but otherwise, I’m loving it. Smooth, light mouthfeel, lots of hop oiliness. I also tried a version served in a cask with fresh Mosaic hops. That had a delicious earthy hop character with even more juicy fruitiness. Fun stuff.

On tap at Cellarmaker. It pours a clear golden color with a white head. The aroma is grassy and dank with pine and background notes of passionfruit. The flavor is earthy with garden mulch, hop dank, a little garlic, grass, coconut, pine and melon. So good. This reminded me of the classic Jeff Goldblum and Cindy Lauper movie Vibes.
