Hop Butcher for the World Neon Green Relish Review

Citra and Sabro means huge juicy fruit notes are ready to party on your palate — but not before bewildering you with flashing colors and a cloud of perfume: Pungent aromas of overripe, almost rotting fruit (one taster repeatedly got pickles, too). I think it tastes like a strawberry banana orange smoothie with ginger and something green — is it pickles? — no, something zesty and herbal but more citric, like a G&T with bergamot and lime. Then, thickly smooth fruit turns dank as a wheel of brie, before going back to fruit, and finally rolling together into a fruity, dank danish. It’s exactly this bewildering, beguiling character that has hop-obsessed beer drinkers hooked on Hop Butcher who is cutting it up on the brewery floor right now.
