What is a Shuttle Bunny you ask? Well, it's an endearing term for someone who drives boaters, bikers, hikers, etc to the start of their activity; preferably with an ample supply of cold beer. This 40% wheat, extremely hoppy Double IPA is a tribute to Shuttle Bunnies everywhere - and the adventures they make possible.
Hops: Amarillo & Eureka.

Bottle. It pours a hazy yellow color with an off white head. The aroma is potent with catty hops a little garlic, spice, grapefruit and orange. A little passionfruit. Mostly dank and catty. The flavor is the same with dank, spicy, catty hoppiness. A little stone fruit in the background. Light bready malts are barely perceptible. Very dry in the finish with spicy/dank bitterness. Fresh. Pleasant mouthfeel despite the dry finish. Very good stuff.

Poured from a 22oz bottle. Aroma is very hop forward with moderate fruit notes including stone fruit and tropical fruit. Some peach and apricot with some mango and melon. Some light pinepaple and citrus notes. A bit dank with some light pine notes. Light cracker and wheat notes. A hint of alcohol. Pours a hazy pale yellow gold with a small, moderately thick, white head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with some light grain notes and a bit of wheat and cracker. Medium high bitterness. Medium hop notes with tropical and stone fruit. Peach, apricot, pineapple and mango. Light dank onion notes with some pine resin. Oily orange notes as well. Hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent IPA. Good hop notes with a balanced, but very light malt profile. Bitterness works well for the malt and hops.

Bottle to tulip. Moderate dank and faint passion fruit aroma. While the aroma is not overt, it is layered, nuanced and continuous. Hazy yellow-gold with medium low white head that lingers across the top. Taste is canibus dominated. Moderate balancing white wheat. Moderate low bittering makes for a delightfully drinkable beer. Pretty crushable at 8.5%.

Bottle. Pours fairly hazy golden, small white head, nice residual and lacing. Aroma is cannabis, pot smoke, passionfruit, guava. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, loads of MJ, tropical fruits. Total pot bomb, but in a good way. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Dangerously drinkable.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy/dirty light gold with a white head. Aroma is pretty citrus, and there seem to be spice notes. Med + body. Flavor is quite citrus, the malt is pretty light. There’s a lot of hop, and zest seems present. Quite bitter. Quite nice.

Very carbonated. Light golden color, almost translucent. Frothy white head. Super dry, super hoppy nose that is exceedingly heady, with pine and citrus. The mouth is super light with modest bitterness. This drinks much more like a pale ale than an 8.3% IIPA. So dry and hoppy, clean. Perfectly executed. One of the best IIPAs I’ve ever had. Even better than the Citra.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is dank as fuck, with piney and citrus hops. So dank. Flavour is so amazingly dank and fresh, with dank hops galore. Wow. Not much else here other than the dank hops. Phenomenal stuff.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a hazy yellow-orange color with a medium white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Citrus, piney hops and malt in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering fruity hops aftertaste. Solid beer all around.

Draft at Kern River Brewing, a 7 barrel test batch. After talking to Ashley at the brewery I found out that this is a second test batch with more ABV and dry hopping than what Kyle called the White IPA (7.2% ABV). Nose is bubblegum, tropical fruit, citrus, and floral. Murky light yellow with a medium white head that laces lightly. Flavor is lightly bitter with tropical fruity sweetness amid a malty background. Tastes much lighter even with the substantial body than the ABV suggests.
