The first time Mike judged a homebrew contest in 2007, the entire table was Black IPAs. Now they are a dying species! For this one we hopped it with two of our favorite varieties blending the pine of Simcoe Cryo with the fruitier characteristics of Mosaic! While it's dark, the toast is restrained thanks to German debittered chocolate malt!

16 oz can. Soft carbonation level. Aroma is soft amounts of citrus, herb and roasted grain. The flavor as bolder citrus then the pine. No resin. The mouthfeel is smooth and inviting. Bitterness is mild with soft citrus and roasted malt This is awesome. Top in the black IPA style for my tastes.

Can (10/28/25) shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Opaque dark brown, thin head fading to a ring, light lacing. Aroma is dry, earthy malt, grapefruit and pine. Taste is earthy malt, pine, mild grapefruit. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. All the elements are here but I like a sharper contrast between the sweet, caramel malt and a biting piney bite. Still enjoyable as I love just about anything in the (rare) style!
