Love this Focal Banger. Straight up hop bomb on the nose. Nice body and malt.

So we’ll balanced. Grapefruit, wheat, pine, great creaminess. The best hazy with west coast vibes made. A classic. Sf beer week delivery. Canned 2/1/2022.

This is insanely complex. Just tons of flavor and again awesome malt backbone similar to heady. Tart grapefruit, limes, with a bread like quality. Then big bitterness like orange rind and pine sap. Makes my mouth water.
