Headroom is about pushing boundaries. From its first batch brewed on Congress St. in 2015 to today, Headroom stands as a landmark, watershed beer in terms of our evolution as a brewery. Conceptually, we sought to create our boldest, most daring, hoppiest beer we could possibly dream up. Our ability to conceive and brew new Double Dry Hopped Double and Triple IPAs is born out of our foundational experience brewing Headroom. Five years later, we've taken Headroom's base recipe and ridiculous dry hop charge but applied a new hop combination in Citra and Mosaic.
Legroom pours a viscous light straw color with a dense haze. The aroma offers mouth-watering fruit smoothie notes reminiscent of candied pineapple, juicy fruit gum, ripe peach, and zesty ruby red grapefruit. On the palate, a burst of papaya and mango nectar round out an incredibly tropical drinking experience. Unlike its cousin Headroom, which boasts a resinous edge, Legroom is remarkably soft with a creamy mouthfeel and very low perceived bitterness.

25th June 2021 Tasting at Fergus gaff. Thanks to Wingman. Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth but slightly thin creamy malts. Smooth pine. Mild hop spice. Decent citric hops, spicy orange grapefruit, mild peel. Light finish shows the grapefruit wandering into pink grapefruit territory. Very nice.

4 pack canned 5/13/21, drunk over the course of the next 10 days.
Heavily hazy, bronze-lime-tinted-maize, with a small, moderately dense, white head showing moderate retention.
Really nice mix of juice and more assertive pine/citrus in the nose with an undercurrent of lemon/lime acidity and tons of dank, spiciness lingering on the finish. Malts seem supportive but not overly sweet here, with mostly white bread, light honey and wheat supporting the acidity. Passion fruit, guava, pine and lime linger on nicely with little/no alcohol, twang or aspirin.
Bold and extremely hop-forward with a good mix of bitterness/acidity from the pine and lime alongside juicier passion fruit, guava and white grapefruit. Soft/supple texture with well-attenuated malts leaving behind wheat, cracker and light honey. Tight, low, ample carbonation and little/no alcohol or flaw. I really like that it's not too sweet/chewy, soupy, nor is it all mango-pineapple juice. Quite assertive with the bittering hops, but even that is still in balance.
