We teamed up with a San Diego favorite of ours - Pizza Port, for a Day One of epic preportions. When we first talked we wanted the label to be an homage to Thrilla the Gorilla - whom many of you may remember from T&C Surf designs. We were even more excited when we reached out to Thrilla's creator, Steve Nazar and he offered to create a brand new character for us. And with "The Chicken" being such a big thing in San Diego, Surfin' Bird was born.
This Double IPA is based on a hop cocktail we are really in love with (we brewed a test batch in San Clemente), Citra, Loral, and Idaho 7. It's all lemon cream, stone fruit, and some tropical stuff going on with a light undercurrent of dankness.

16oz bottle via trade, thanks Arturo. Bottled 02/22/2019. Dorée présentant un léger trouble, col blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet fruité, tropical avec une belle composante résineuse - retrouve aussi un généreux bouquet d'agrumes et fleuri avec un solide coté ouest américain. Palais est épais, malté cara pâle, classique californienne, fruité fermenté, résineux et agrumes - mangue tropical et une petite note épicée en fin de bouche.
