Aromatically-charged India Pale Ale brewed with alternating additions of Galaxy & Citra hops in the boil & whirlpool, then double dry-hopped with Mosaic hops for a broad pastiche of flavors: citrus, bubble gum, lime, grass, blueberry & black pepper.

Sampled at the brewery pours a hazy gold with a ring of white head. Nose is good, tangerine, orange, lemon, some guava too. Flavor has some tartness, guava, a little green payaya, orange, tangerine, some white grapefruit. Finishes dry. Solid.

750ml bottle picked up at the brewery and then sat on way too long before opening. Not a gusher, but pours with an excessive head for sure. Tastes like it suffers some mild infection, which probably wouldn’t have been noticeable had I cracked it open fresh. Grassy earthy tones now, some earthy slick butter. You can tell it has a nice hop bill, but I also wonder if this is a dextrose fade. Not so good in its present state.

Draft at the source. Hazy orange color with a small off-white wispy head. Aroma was floral, herbal notes. Flavor was earthy, herbal. Okay.

Cask at the source with Mosaic hops. Hazy amber color. Nice dank, earthy aroma. Flavor is more delicate, floral, still a bit earthy. Nice.
