Brewed in dedication to Atlas, our resident brew dog. A majestic white husky with playful energy when he’s in his element outside, particularly in the winter. He is calm as can be when he’s inside with a gentle nature. This fluffy White IPA is brewed with local malts from Stone Path Malt, Blue Ox Malt, and Valley Malt. Double dry hopped with Citra, Sabro, and Mosaic. Aromas of papaya, sweet cream, and Meyer lemon. Flavors of papaya, cotton candy, with a touch of herbal spice. Super Soft with a balanced finish.

Canned 2/17/26, drunk 3/12/26.
Yeah, I mean it smells like a somewhat hoppy witbier. Never really understood the point of this "style" but they've softened the estery/phenolic yeast with some fruity hops, the Sabro doing a lot of work here to give a light coconut vibe, while the citra adds its typical round juice. But it leaves room for the Belgian aspects so you do get a good amount of both.
Malty, lightly bready with crusty cracker and biscuit and a growing Belgian character with dry, heavy white pepper. Again, Sabro seems to be the most prominent, and the tropical character accentuates the herbal-spice character of the yeast, giving an interesting SE Asian sort of vibe. Lemongrass, white pepper, coconut...While it's got ample malt depth, it's VERY dry, which I don't think helps here given the lack of juiciness from the hops and the very dry spice-herb character of the yeast. A fun change of pace, and the hops are really interesting and creative. Not just your typical WC or classic NE character but a bit of everything. Just needs a bit more sweetness, in my opinion.
