2025 release (6.2%):

We've teamed up once again to make a Hazy IPA (Citra & Nelson Sauvin hopped) with our friend FM Attack, one of the pioneers of the sythwave movement.

2021-22 release (6.5%):

We’ve teamed up with local Synthwave legend FM Attack to bring you one of our coolest collabs yet.

Presenting FM Attack IPA, a 6.5% northeast style IPA featuring an excessive dry hop that you've come to expect from us. Sweet ripe mango up front followed by waves of fresh peach and then finishing with smooth tropical floral notes. Deliciously crushable.

On tap at Threefold. Pours opaque dull yellow with a white head. Tons of soupy yeast and juicy citrus on the nose. Flavour has citrus juice, pith, and a mucky yeast soup. This is gross.

Poured from 473mL can (2025 re-release). Opaque yellow with full white head. Tropical and melon hops with a feint dankness, minimal chalkiness, come together nicely.

Nice milky yellow body and good orange julius style foam. Smells of nice dank melon, chewy pine. Taste is bitter dank pine, ending smooth and oily. Nicely made, if a little simple.

Can from the brewery
Murky blond colour. Dank aroma, and tropical fruit. Soft mouthfeel, smooth, with good body; excellent hops, tropical and citrus peel as expected, even a hint of incense; some chalk and some astringent spices in the finish.
Very good.

Opaque. No head. The usual pineapple, papaya stuff on the nose. On the palate, I'm digging the tropical fruit hops. Malts are ok, decent sweetness but not mindblowing.

16oz shared with Alex at Andrey's. Appearance: murky straw golden with a white head. Aroma: dank, tropical fruits, some middle East spice notes on the back. Taste: along the same lines, with some weird kinda fishy notes. Overall: it's ok.

473mL can, pours an opaque peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma is very juicy and pithy, with lots of juicy tropical fruits, pulpy orange juice, and earthy hops. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of tropical stone fruits, pulpy orange juice, resinous hops, moderate bitterness, and minimal chalk. The clarity is surprisingly good -- one of the most enjoyable Boombox IPAs I've had -- it doesn't have the chalkiness issue that most of them do. Very good.

Hazy dirty gold with a decent white head. Nice citrus notes. Dirty citrus and a long finish. OK.
