One of my favourite things to do is to take some of the characteristics of the hops-in this case Bru-1 and El Dorado- and amplify and enhance them with fruit to match their notes.
This time, we will go a little bit further with the addition of Pineapple Express and King Louis XIII terpenes, a slightly sativa-leaning marijuana hybrid, which is the result of the crossing of the Hawaiian and Trainwreck strains. The product is THC and CBD-free. Just adds some interesting complexity to the aroma.
Big bright and bitter.

Low/no alcohol brew with weed, hmm.
Well it's not a hazy New England IPA after all but has the hops for it. It's a very clear, very pale golden amber beer with no head retention.
On the nose it's quite nice, light and bright pineapple, satsuma, apple and pear maybe too. Doesn't smell like the whacky backy like some lagers do.
First sip, hmm very odd straight away. At first it's like a west coast but very mild then the finish comes smashing in like a freight train, and it's not good.
If you ever wanted to drink pine floor cleaner, here's your chance.
The fruit starts to come in, if you dare to keep sipping it, but each time the mega finish and after taste takes over.
They described the weed addition as terpenes, zero CBD and obviously zero THC. So a compound hydrocarbon produced by the plant, and this beer does give you plant oil vibes.
The taste does mellow after a while and turns more into the west coast style it could be. Extremely piney. I'm not a huge westy fan anyway but this is right on the line between unpleasant and acceptable.
Fans of pine and west coast IPAs may get on with this, but I do not.
