One of the first beers we canned, Thought Control pairs almighty Citra with New Zealand’s bright and beguiling Motueka.
Motueka is a crazy cultivar — big on tropical lime and pineapple, complimented by a touch of herbal and spicy notes. In Thought Control, its fruit character is amplified by Citra, which plays its own familiar tune of melon and orange citrus zest.
The 6.6% IPA is silky smooth but quenching, constructed from a grist of pilsen malt, flaked wheat, and malted oats. Pairs perfectly with dark sarcasm.

Keg at the brewery, 7/12/16. Hazy yellow, large creamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of papaya, lime, pale malt. The taste is tropical fruits, pine, citrus, pale malt. Medium bodied, well balanced, lingering bitterness.

4 oz pour on draft at Ocelot. Slightly hazy orange with off-white head. Aromas of floral, hay, citrus. Tastes of orange and grapefruit citrus, floral notes, a little malt. Medium body with a dry finish. Nice stuff, Motueka gives it a pretty distinct aroma/flavor.
