We collaborated with Another Beer Co. and brewed this West Coast Pale Ale for their grand finale closing. We employed an innovative “dip hopping” technique for the first time to extract intense yet clean hop characteristics from NZ Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin. It boasts expressive aroma of white grape, lychee, peach, and lime, without hop heaviness. The light and clean, pleasantly crackery malt flavor comes from Czech pilsner malt, and a medium bitterness perfectly balances its crispness and easy-drinking nature.

On tap. Pours amber with light head. Aromas of dull fruit and toasted malts. Flavors of slight bittering hops and toasted malts. Not offensive and easy to drink, but why?

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has gentle piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is extremely timid, with very mild piney hops and soft biscuity malt. Why make a hoppy beer without hops? Clean enough though.
