Adjunct Integration starts off with a base of wheats and oats and a fractal fermentation. We added Citra, Sabro, and Simcoe to the whirlpool and a dry hop of Citra, Galaxy, Riwaka, Nelson, Sabro, and Simcoe. So many hops! That beer was then conditioned on Vanilla, Marshmallow, Lactose, Orange and Lime Zest.
Adjunct Integration has an aroma of orange vanilla birthday cake and flavors of a thick tropical fruit shake. Notes of creamy citrus, mango, and peach with a zesty but fluffy marshmallow finish.
These beers are made to be fun and we recommend enjoying them side by side so you can conduct your own research right from home.

Straw golden coloured body with a very faint glow and a large-bubbled, tall, but very soapy, fast-dying off-white head that isn't too pleasant. Aroma of oranges, marshmallows, caster sugar, light tropical fruits and ending with a scent of alcohol warmth. Medium-bodied; Strong malty and pungent dry notes show at first with a very strong and robust hop and bitterness from all the citrus-based hops that add a bit more citrus and finishes with a lot of the sweet caster and candy sugar notes with a lot of sweetness remaining, all with a slightly pungent alcohol and medicinal note at the very end. Aftertaste shows the pungent bitterness from some grapefruit and orange zest, but a nice balance with all of the sugars, while ending with the marshmallow and robust sweetness on top of all the alcohol, which still is quite strong. Overall, a very funky, but flavourful Imperial-ish IPA that hits the right notes, but just begs the question - are these the flavours I want in a beer, let alone an IPA! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria , Virginia on 19-June-2020 for US$7,55 sampled at my house here in Washington, just three days later on 22-June-2020.

Pours a hazy, golden-orange color, with minimal head. Aroma is citrus, vanilla, marshmallow. Flavor is citrus, vanilla, marshmallow. Quite sweet and very smooth. Bitterness kept to a minimum. Mouthfeel seems a bit more full than in the Integration solo version.
