Introduced in the summer of 2015, Home* was loosely inspired by one of the great San Diego IPAs — the mighty Alpine Nelson. In that spirit, we brew Home* with a tender kiss of rye, bringing a light spice to an otherwise clean grist of pilsen malts.
First and foremost, though, this 6.7% IPA showcases the magical union of Nelson Sauvin and Citra. There’s nothing like the collision of these New Zealand and U.S. hops: crushed white grape and a distinct dankness meets orange citrus zest, melon, and tropical fruit salad.

$4.50 pint can, Beer Run. Hazy gold with a small off-white head. Aroma is green grass, light pot, hint of citrus... also something slightly offensive. Flavor is melon... very melon. Light citrus, soiled fruit, green leaf. Not loving this.
