This batch is a re-release - with a couple improvements!
This double dry hopped IPA is a hybrid of what we love most about both east coast & west coast styled IPAs. The blend of Citra, Mosaic, Columbus, and Simcoe hops produces a complex profile of citrus, tropical fruits, and berries exploding on the nose, supported by dank and earthy undertones to round it out. Soft, fluffy, and somewhat hazy like an east coast IPA, with the moderate dryness and drinkability of a west coast IPA.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy straw colour with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick, soapy patches of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit peel, peach, pineapple, earthy yeast and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, pineapple, mango, grapefruit peel, earthy yeast and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Could be juicier, not bad.

Poured from the tap. Hazy, almost cloudy blonde with white head. Pine hops, vegetal, oily. Just okay.

Hazy blond colour. The hop profile is moderately piney, and vegetable; the mouthfeel is lean and dry (appreciated); bit of pithy bitterness. The last pour of the can is slightly more fruity. This would be a modern West Coast IPA in my book, not flawlessly executed, but decent.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose brings out bitter piney hops, a touch of stone fruit, and cereal malt. Flavour is astringently bitter, with some hop burn, lots of piney bitterness, a slight vegetal character, and biscuity malt. There's some strange earthy, vegetal—almost sulphur-like—notes in back that intrude on an otherwise decently constructed beer. It's alright but needs some work.

Strongly carbonated cloudy gold, modest foam, good sweet hops on the nose with some hints of vanilla. Flavour is all oily sweet hops, mellow chewy pine, soft pineapple and witbier notes in the background. Good oiliness on the mouth, smooth and full. Well crafted, slightly floral and sweet, a nice take on an IPA.
