  • Purchased at Iron & Glass Minooka on 04-24-2026. Date on can of 04-21-2026. Poured into a large Tree House snifter that I picked up at the brewery.

    A delight on the eye. The color is a glowing yellow with almost a finger of off-white foam. Retention is okay, leaving some large bubbled lacing behind.

    Aroma jumps out. Sweet, mango and peach. A "green" earthiness comes about along with hints of dankness.

    Taste is a bit muddled. Mango and sweetness are the most distinguishable. Possibly some peach, pineapple, earth, and dankness cloud the flavor profile.

    Light body with a bit of carbonation on the front the tongue before becoming flat. There is a slight lingering bitterness.

    Based on the pour I thought this beer was going to be one of the best Hop Butcher beers since Cafe Bear back in February of this year. The aroma was good but both the mouthfeel and flavor lacked and broke me. The taste has possibly too much going on - all these big hops are too much for one simple beer. I could stare at it for hours, I just don't want to take it out on the date. Enjoy!
