Imperial IPA with 100% Cryo Citra and Mosaic
-Exposure-
Practitioners of Falun Gong (a qigong meditation focused on moral philosophy, energetic exercises, breathing and promoting living in harmony) were perceived as a threat by the Chinese communist regime.
Since 1999 members were thrown into “re-education through labor” camps where they either renounced their beliefs or became the victims of torture, organ harvesting and execution.
Apart from forcing prisoners to lay face down in snow, throwing buckets of water on them in -20° environments, and having them stand almost naked in winter for 12 hour periods, Exposure (also known as freezing torture) had been the governments favored form of persecution.
In one instance a woman on hunger strike, was chained to a tree in winter. They returned the next day to find an icicle forming from her nose down to her feet.
As of 2009 it’s estimated that at least 2,000 members had been tortured to death.
Dry hopped with 100% Cryo* Mosaic and Citra
*Cryogenic process of preserving essential oils and resins at extremely low temperatures*
.
Earthy herbal notes push through the boozy nose, until a presence of star fruit, honeydew and nectarine pit make themselves known.
Initial cold hop bite of pine quickly dissipates to a balanced malt body, candied mandarin rind, strawberry jam, and key lime zest.
.
Pairs well with:
Ovid’s Withering - Panikon Deima

Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to Tips for the can. Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Light malts, light creamy sweetness. Good spicy citrus. Orange and light mango, some tangerine. Spicy finish. Oh yeah! Hoppy and crushable.

The Aromas are a nice balance blend of fresh Citrus and pine resin hops with a little pale malt. Flavors are allowed like nose, little sweet upfront include some weed and just a bit of bitterness in the Finish. great body and carbonation. Hides alcohol well. Really tasty stuff.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours a very hazy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with amazing balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 10.1%. Overall this is an amazing NEDIPA! All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; fantastic soft feel. Amazing Mosaic, Citra profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Happy July Fourth weekend everybody! Little boozy, though it's hidden well with the juiciness of it. Thanks Joe! Top beer.
