TASTING NOTES

👀 HOW’S IT LOOK?
Dense, creamy white head. Opaque yellow body with hints of gold. Nice lacing on the glass as you sip it down.

👃 WHAT AM I SMELLING?
There is a lot going on here. Lemon and lime are present, so is a citrus pith note right underneath those two. Sneaky notes of tropical fruit poke their heads around the corner – pineapple and guava sneaking into the party. Passionfruit is lingering on the porch, wondering if it was invited to the party, asking itself, “do I know these guys?”

👅 HMMM, THAT TASTES LIKE…
Your favorite lemon/lime soda and a happy hazy session IPA had a 6.5% love child. The finish is clean with that pithy bitterness wiping away the citrus juice brightness. After a momentary bitterness recedes, there’s a slight fresh french bread crust note from the malt and then the tropical fruit celebration re emerges after the swallow. The aroma party stragglers? Guava and a bright pineapple linger to help with cleaning up until the party starts again with the next sip.

😋 THERE’S A PARTY IN MY MOUTH!
A light bodied hazy with a dry and crisp finish.

🍻 TL;DR
Citrus business up front, tropical party in the back – a mullet that’s always in style!

LABEL TEXT

“New hazy, who ’dis?”

Let’s introduce you to our Hazy IPA that quite literally has juicy fruitiness in its DNA. The mission of this beer is to exploit fruity aromatic compounds* to the highest degree possible in a balanced Hazy IPA. We started with the juicy, tropical and citrusy Motueka and Ekuanot hops. These happy hop buddies first appear in the whirlpool getting the juiciness whipped out of them, then return at the end for a double dry-hopping encore. Mash hopping is also in our juicy bag of tricks, where we add a little bit of Cascade hops to meld with our malt – which coaxes even more fruity flavor through the process. What other tricks do we have up our sleeves? How about employing an experimental new yeast by the name of Omega Helio Gazer that actually imparts grapefruit, guava and passion fruit aromatic compounds. To level out this science and brewing technique juice bomb, we’ve got malted oats and wheat for a balanced mouthfeel. You’re welcome. Cheers!

*when we say “aromatic compounds,”

we’re referring to the scientific class

of organic chemical compounds

known as “thiols.” It’s in the Scrabble

dictionary and is worth 9 points, FYI.
