Appearance: Seductively cloudy, deep flame orange with specs of sediment suspended like hop sand in a freeze frame. An apple cider hue, but a touch lighter. Candy stick lace seems to fuse onto the glass. The beer looks tasty. 9.2/10
Nose: Funk, dank, drizzly hops that actually smell viscid. Skittle fruit, tropical punch. Fresh mango. Orange sherbet. Wet grass. This nose has it all, but it isn’t all hops—close. Carmel doused malt notes superbly conflate with the fruit-hop-wonder that is Broodoo. 9.6/10
Body: The body is lush, rich and full with nearly perfect carbonation for the style with some soft oily nuances. Beats the tongue down with a hop cane. 9.5/10
Taste: Perfectly expressive, yet perfectly harnessed hops touch down with a bitter citrus bite, orange rind, and an excellent array of spice notes. Lemony. Delcious. 9/10
Overall: 9.3/10
Comment: An absolute joy to drink. Every sip is more fulfilling than the last and every sip provides a new nuance unnoticed before. Utterly compelling and master-crafted.
