A Fulcrum is the point on which a lever rests. The fulcrum pivots and adjusts to keep everything in balance and as close to ideal as possible given the situation. The craft beer industry has been thrown for a loop these last few weeks and we have all been doing our best to pivot and find our fulcrum. Along with our friends and peers we’ve tried to adapt during these difficult times. We want this beer to be a reminder that even under less than ideal situations, find your resiliency and let’s bounce back and grow from the challenge.
Fulcrum was brewed with a base of white wheat and oats for a soft base. We added Citra and Idaho-7 in the whirlpool and dry hopped it with Nelson, Strata, and Citra. Fulcrum pours a beautiful vivid yellow. As soon as you crack it open bright notes of grass and citrus permeate. Flavors of passionfruit, cannabis, and white wine grapes meld together beautifully with each sip. The buildup of dank juicy fruit counters with a light and balanced bittereness in the finish offering a fulcrum for a beer with such unique and powerful flavor.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, big fluffy white head leaves chunky lacing behind. Citrusy, zesty aroma, grapefruit, pineapple. Taste comes with a tang, sharp bracing; citrusy, juicy. Rich creamy feel with some lingering bitterness. A good one!

16 ounce can from Tavour. Hazy yellow gold pour. Large pillowy white head. Splendiferous lacing. Floral hop aromas of tropical citrus and grassy hops. Flavor is sweet and juicy. Pineapple, tangerine, papaya, passion fruit, melon and sweet lemon. Soft, creamy mouthfeel from the wheat and oats. There is a subtle bitterness on the backend that brings this DIPA to a tasty close.

Can. Opaque apricot with a large dense white head. Surprising (in the original and good sense) aroma with hedgerow berries, spices, under-ripe stonefruit, pine twigs, grass. Smooth, blurred palate. An almost woody dryness counters the moderately sweet fruit. There's little bitterness and it really wants for a finish. But before that it's interesting.

Pint can from Wine Cellar Depere, 6/14/22. Murky orange, large off-white head, good retention. Aroma of mango, orange, earth. Taste is citrus, mango, tangerine, lime, dank, and it attempts to be banana but falls a bit short. Juicy, moderate bitterness. Interesting. Nice.
