Breakside Brewery Belly Laugh

“Tropical soap perfume—papaya, melon, dried peach, and strawberry—meld with pepper and clove spice. The malt sweetness carries pleasantly complex hop notes that combine hints of old-school Noble character with a fun tropical twist. There’s just enough phenolic spice to round things out, and the dry finish is a pleasant palate cleanser.”

Fruity nose with citrus, apple, persimmon, blueberries, tangerine, plus minty-grassy hops and earthy leather. In the flavor, tart citric bite joins minty hops, backed by grapefruit peel. Slightly astringent. Disjointed—a chasm between nose and tongue.

**Aroma:** “Light white grape with a touch of _Brett_ funk. As it warms, a bit of raspberry and moderate spicy, earthy hops. Bright lemon character up front with some subtle floral/perfume notes reminiscent of roses and lilies. Super perfume-y—roses and irises, orange, and a bit of spice in the background with some barnyard _Brett_ funk.” **Flavor:** “Moderate spiciness up front with a slight chili flavor (not the heat). Creamy consistency with a moderate vanilla note toward the back. Raspberry notes and an earthy spiciness. Aftertaste has a bit of a peach-skin astringency that lingers well after the sip. Nice stone-fruit and lemon esters mixed with a floral character. Subtle acidity in the back adds to the citrus flavors.” **Overall:** “Interesting take featuring a complex fermentation character, exhibiting some notes not often seen in the style. Well-balanced, making it very drinkable and refreshing. Light and tart citrus and _Brett_ funk play a nice supporting role.”
