Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light copper in the glass, with a hazy, opaque quality that speaks to its turbid nature through the heft of Cryo-processed hops and suspended matter. A dense, cream-colored head forms on the pour, holding steadily with fine lacing down the glass. Bright carbonation animates the body throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced dank character—earthy and resinous—layered beneath bright red berry and stone fruit notes from Nelson Sauvin and Citra Cryo. Beneath the hop-forward profile sits a gentle caramel sweetness from the toasted malt backbone, with whispers of citrus zest and a subtle herbaceous depth that keeps the aroma grounded and complex.

◐ Taste

Entry brings a wave of berry fruit and gentle caramel malt, settling into a mid-palate where dank, herbal hop character takes hold with measured intensity. The 35 IBU maintains balance rather than dominance; bitterness registers as refined and integrated, allowing the malt's toasty, almost biscuit-like quality to anchor the profile. Alcohol warmth is present but restrained, supporting rather than overpowering.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and drying, with lingering dank and herbal notes that fade gradually into residual caramel and a light citrus prickle. A subtle warmth remains on the palate.
