We met Troy from Badlands at Hop City last year and were super impressed with their beers, brewed on their farm in Caledon, Ontario since 2017. For our second collab (after Spiral from our FORMS Birthday Series), we've partnered up a couple of exciting hop products to really elevate this DIPA.

Three forms of Citra have been used, including Cryo Fresh, derived from the concentrated lupulin of fresh whole-cone hops, to deliver a bolder, fresher citrus character. We used Nelson Sauvin Amplifire Oil, also extracted from hops on harvest day, and it delivers a well-rounded Nelson expression full of all the wine notes and dankness you could ask for. Both are supported by Nectaron and Riwaka, who bring the juiciness with punchy pineapple, passionfruit and grapefruit.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, some dryness, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Smooth pale malts, a light and forward creamy sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine and a lot of hop spice. The soft parts of me gob are tingling. A lot. Bright citrus wrapped in a soft grapey goodness. Light and semi dry finish. Long hop spicy linger. Bright and spicy.
