Glorious-crank-it-to-‘11’-cacophony is what happens when intense tropical fruit gets a flashpot addition of pyrotechnic heat from habanero. The result is a literal world tour, as three globe-trotting breweries collaborated on this immensely thunderous soundstorm of a beer.
Masters of brewing Beavertown (UK) and Garage Project (New Zealand) worked with us in San Diego to brew this double IPA with a power trio of kiwi, yuzu and habanero. Yuzu and habanero, sure, but who knew kiwi fruit could be so metal. Add in a colossal hop character to ride the lightning of the subtle but fiery heat. Hops, fruit, heat…And Juiciness For All.
Call up your mosh mates, crank up the tunes, throw this beer in the fridge and chill ‘em all.
We have known the Garage Project guys, Pete Gillespie and Jos Ruffell, for a while and have brewed with them a few times in the past - last year in Japan at Coedo and recently with Kris Ketcham at Stone Brewing - Liberty Station, but never at our flagship brewery in Escondido. We have also known Logan Plant from Beavertown for a few years, have been to his brewery in London, and have been very impressed by the beers and his approach to brewing. We had been looking for just the right opportunity to brew with him. This recipe is a true representation of joining our three breweries with New Zealand hops, English yeast, and some American hops, plus our Stone style of brewing IPAs. This is a very unique and wonderful beer. Enjoy it while you can get it!

From a 440ml can on 20/10/2021 (no reference to Beavertown on my can, brewed at Garage Project). Pours a clear golden with a smallish head. Smells piney and resiny, with some cirtus in the mix. Tastes very citrussy, with lots of lemon with a decent amount of orange sweetness. Don't really get the habanero. Has a firm pine/resin bitterness. Full bodied with average carbonation. Nice but mot life changing.

Bottle in Serbia, thanks Milivoje. Orange hazy with sediments, little off-white foam. Nose: oxidated hops, sweet malty, fruit. Mouth: fruity (yes kiwi), habanero is softly added, sweet somehow. How is this fresh? I guess very good

Sample at WOB Easton. Cloudy golden color with a medium bone white head that recedes gradually to an outer ring. Strings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, piney hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, resiny hops, melon and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
