We aspired to evolve our latest series of potions to formulate an IPA that floats above any we've imagined before. We aimed for the sky and landed comfortably in the clouds lingering above our beautiful mountain ridges. This pillowy pleasure drifts along with a hop profile composed of a Citra backbone coupled with two New Zealand hops for aroma plus a breeze of candied clementine, crushed gooseberries, and white grapes. We then bent the range by lofting this distinct brew to an enigmatic 8.7% ABV. Propel into the clouds for a Hovered Ridge Double IPA and float into a fluffy hazy bliss!

Can (2/1/21) pour. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with no discernible sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is mix of sweet pineapple and tart passion fruit with a smidge of Italian herbs/kitty litter/cat piss. Taste follows aroma along with grapes and astringency. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation, astringency (alcohol or otherwise) and finish as taste. Overall, not terrible but difficult.
