This beer stinks. Go ahead, smell it. That's what sick amounts of dry hopping does to a beer. It makes it stink. That's the way we wanted it. It's perfectly malted, excessively hopped, and finishes with a crisp, clean palette. So, grab yourself by the nostrils, if you got'em, and take a big whiff.

22oz bomber pours with a copper body that has a slight haze and supports a weak dirty white head. The aroma comes across as sweet juicy citrus clementine and tangelo with a bit of malts and grapefruit in the background. The taste starts with sweet malts and citrus hops that goes from thin citrus juiciness to more and more bitter grapefruit like notes and then into a resiny pine sensation toward the finish. The initial aroma set up anticipation of a rich juicy hoppy ride but the flavor doesn’t deliver to that extent. The initial inviting aroma also didn’t last. Pretty tasty but it comes up short in body and depth.
