Initially the hops are curious, like a potpourri vibe with lychee or something. Rambutan. Pours clear golden without much head. That potpourri perfume type sense sticks with you like leaving the duty free at the airport. A little sourness in the finish. Hops profile is kind of unique but the malt backbone is a little lacking. Tap at Curious Cafe. UT
