Colorado Cou Cou

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a hazy, opaque character typical of the style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate persistence, leaving fine trails of lacing. Carbonation appears lively, with steady streams of fine bubbles rising through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lychee and pineapple, supported by Nelson, Mosaic, and Kohatu hops that layer in herbal and resinous complexity. Passion fruit and guava emerge in the background, while a subtle cannabis note weaves through the profile—earthy and green without being aggressive. Ester-driven yeast character adds a gentle fruity roundness beneath the hop-forward presentation.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with lychee and pineapple establishing the primary flavor axis. Mid-palate brings guava and passion fruit depth, while the cannabis-influenced herbal note becomes more apparent, lending a dank, slightly peppery edge. Bitterness sits at 50 IBU—restrained enough to let fruit shine, yet present enough to balance the sweetness and provide structure without harshness.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with the herbal and resinous hop character lingering pleasantly. Aftertaste remains fruity and refreshing, fading to a dry, slightly grassy note that invites another sip.
