A master of chaos hidden in plain sight. 👀
We took the new Aurora yeast from LalBrew for a ride and came up with the deceptive PLAYING POSSUM.
A DDH Northern IPA that keeps the crisp, bitter characteristics of a rich Westcoast, the crushability of a dry-hopped lager, and the heavy aromatics of a New England hazy boy. 🤹
Triumph hops take care of the hot side, with soft exotic citrus and some nice noble sensibilities, then El Dorado, Centennial and Cryo Pop on the DH drop the fruit truck on top of it all, with jellied lime zest, mango slices, canned pineapple and a soft bit of coconut flake. 🍍🍋🟩🥭
This one might bite, though. Careful.
Water, Grains (Heidelberg, Golden Promise, Chit malt), Hops (Triumph, El Dorado, Centennial, Cryo Pop), Yeast (LalBrew® Aurora)

Can at Goblet, thx to... someone, and then on tap some days after, thx Hrabren! Hazy yellow-orange body, off-whtie head. Corny, sweetish, resinous aroma. Lean, dry taste, corn again, resin, somewhat citric, dank, lightly bitter and astringent. Welll... this is weird.
