Our Deadhead IPA Series melds the strong vibe of our favorite music with the beer we love to drink, elevating both into a higher state of consciousness. Our Haze of the Dead reverberates with booming amounts of Citra and Simcoe hops piercing through the melodic mouthfeel of flaked oats, wheat & pils malts, concocting into a Juicy, Hazy Double IPA that will be sure to wake the dead. Cheers!

Can from BCL; canned 08/03/23
Pale blond colour, cloudy. Aroma of tropical fruit, sweet citrus, and mild dankness. Lean mouthfeel, just the right residual sweetness, and very little starch; the hop is juicy, mostly sweet orange, with accents of tropical fruit; a bit of pith gives the required bitter balance.
Very good; I don't know how old this is, I feel that when fresher it would be even better.

(Can) Cloudy peachy yellow colour with brief, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of grapefruit, pine needles, lemon, pineapple, white bread and a touch of white peppercorns. Fruity, hoppy taste with grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, pine needles, honey, white bread and a generous citric/piney/peppery bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, smooth mouthfeel. A certain sweetness. Fairly powerful and a bit boozy. Really rich and tasty. Very nice.

Hazy golden-amber colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, long lasting with good foamy lacing. The aromas are more on the West Coast style with the herbal notes, raisins, etc. The taste shows bitterness from the grassy hops, but some citrusy balance, hints of oats. Some decent dryness in the finish. All-around, a good Double IPA mixing both sides of the coasts.

This 12 oz can was purchased at the local craft beer store, they seem to steadily get Destihl brews. I have a globe glass out to sample the beer, so now is the time to lift the tab and make the pour. Semi-hazy in appearance with the color a light gold. The head is a strong and persistent top of fully white foam. I get a scent of tropical, a bit of pine and juice. The drink is, well, it is pretty nice within the style. Sweet orange juice, pineapple, crackers, some lemon, a decent amount of hoppiness but there is less bitterness than I anticipated. Not bad.
