Cellarmaker was lucky to come across an experimental hop variety, HBC 344. This aromatically pleasing hop is not going to see increased acreage due to a lack of disease and pest resistance. We hopped Hops Don’t Lie copiously with HBC 344 as well with Citra and Simcoe. Aroma: mango, grapefruit, pine, blueberry dank and lavender. Flavor: Lemon peel, earthy resin and bready.

The beer is a tan yellow gold mix. Somewhat cloudy. Solid white head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is tangerine peel, wildflowers and a lighter blackberry note. Nice crisp, lightly floral hop flavor. No real malt presence. Taste has plenty of hop flavor. Moderate to medium bitterness. Light pale malt. Not terribly juicy but refreshing and a bit spicy. A little bit of mango, orange juice in the finish. Light feel. Refreshing and easy to drink. Solid pale.
