Freak of Nature

◎ Appearance

Freak of Nature presents a pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and a bright, inviting appearance. The head forms thick and persistent, with fine carbonation evident throughout. Lacing clings steadily to the glass as you drink, marking the beer's well-integrated mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a striking intensity of dank, resinous hop character backed by sharp citrus notes—particularly grapefruit and orange zest. Woody, piney undertones emerge from the Centennial and Chinook bases, while the dry-hop blend adds layers of herbal complexity. A clean, neutral malt backdrop allows the hops to dominate without interference.

◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate hoppy intensity with pronounced pine and citrus notes that develop across the palate. Mid-palate reveals a full body with bracing bitterness balanced by subtle crystal malt sweetness, creating a dry, clean sensation. The 80 IBU sits assertively without becoming harsh, while herbal and orange notes linger throughout the tasting experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and enduring, with resinous bitterness and herbal notes trailing long into the aftertaste. Warmth from the 8.5% ABV becomes apparent on the back palate without overwhelming the hop character.
