Beautiful Stranger IPA—you don’t know where it came from, but you know you’re intrigued. Brewed with Pilsner and Flaked Wheat for a clean, understated malt base, it lets the hops do all the talking. Dry hopped with Mosaic®, Citra®, Krush™, and Dolcita™, it captivates with aromas of grapefruit, guava, and mango that feel both exotic and irresistible. Juicy yet unmistakably West Coast, it finishes crisp and confident, leaving just enough mystery to pull you back in. You may know nothing about this stranger—but one sip, and you’ll be completely hooked.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma reveals of mix of allium, some hop tang, gentle tropical notes from Mosaic to save it, and a touch of dankness. Flavour almost come across like there’s NZ hop in here with that hop tang—must be the Krush—with subdued allium, light pine, and a hint of dankness. Good blend of hops that end up expressing pretty well together. Very good.
