Atmospheric Entry from Spyglass Brewing Company

9 months ago

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can from Stacks. Opaque yellow, small, foamy, white head. Intense aroma of orange popsicle, lime sherbet, overripe mango, lychee, triple sec, hashish, white onion, sweaty cheese. Taste has sweet ripe mango, peach & lychee in a thick doughy & cheesy malt body with a hint of dank hashish. Floral & peppery hops in the finish, lingering ripe fruits, hashish and warming triple sec-like alcohol. Medium to full body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Intense but dangerously smooth. Loved it!
