Brew Info:

• Brewery: Offset Bier Company (Park City, Utah)
• Website: https://offsetbier.com/
• Brew: Damp 24.05
• Style: Fresh Hop Pale Ale
• Serving: 16 ounce can
• ABV: 5.0%
• Ingredients: Buzz malt, wet Mosaic, freshly kilned Citra, and HBC 1019 hops
• Pour: The Damp 24.05 pours a very hazy, pale golden-yellow hue with a frothy, bright white, half finger head with good sustain and lots of sticky lacing. 
• Nose: The nose is citrusy, fruity, and slightly malty.  There are aromas of tangerine, grapefruit rind, stone fruit (peach and apricot), cantaloupe, fresh, green hops, pine resin, and light, crackery biscuit.
• Taste: The taste is like the nose: fruity, citrusy, hoppy, and slightly sweet.  There are notes of pink grapefruit juice, honeydew melon, fresh peaches, light mango, dank pine, grassy, green hops, and soft, sweet toffee.
• Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, the mouthfeel of the Damp 24.05 is very crisp, yet soft and smooth with a dry, clean, and slightly bitter finish.

Overall pairing: The punchy and aggressive, yet fruity and complex flavors and aromas of Damp 24.05 Fresh Hop Pale Ale from Offset Bier Company are perfect for the of Sextrash!  Those big, bright, and hoppy citrus notes are great for the fierce guitar work, while the sweeter tropical and malt notes are great for the overt sexuality!

Saúde and hails!!
