MadTree/Fathead's Lupulin Effect

__Aroma:__ “Dank and resinous with some complex citrus notes of orange and grapefruit Malt sweetness up front with a slight booze character. __Flavor:__ Pretty tasty example of the dank side of life. Alcohol is fairly well hidden among the herbal resin hop, while we would like a bit more bitterness in the finish to go with the medium sweet malt that does linger, slowing it down, it is still a fairly crisp and drinkable beer for its size __Overall:__ “Overall a resinous hop character dominates with a slight floral/herbal character but is dominated by the malt sweetness and alcohol warming. The hop bitterness dominates. Assertive and balanced.

Aroma is half bready malt and half grassy hops. The yeasty character and sulfur note is more prominent than most. Low sweetness and bitterness. There's a hint of acidity that, with the relatively light body and dry finish, makes for a fairly drinkable beer despite being a bit rough around the edges.

**Aroma:** “Moderate dank hops with light onion and a touch of light tartness, perhaps cherries. It’s got a good multi-dimensional hops element on the nose with its dank, piney, earthy weed and the orange, lemon, and grapefruit. It’s bright and fresh and has a lot of West Coast in it.” **Flavor:** “Lots of hops going on, with a slight tartness up front and a sturdy body behind it. The sharp, hoppy, earthy flavors have a touch of pine, resin, and dankness with moderate-to-high bitterness. Notes of tangerine, pineapple, and mandarin show through and are not smooth and straight fruit, but more like a more aggressive West Coast IPA. The bitterness and hoppy resin linger on the tongue after the taste.” **Overall:** “There is a pronounced bitterness that's amplified by the touch of acidity. It’s an aggressive beer with sharp elbows that doesn’t back down—definitely more of what one would expect in a West Coast IPA. It presents those boldly bitter and piney hops on a fastball right over the plate.”
