Before you slip into the night (of the calendar year), you’ll want something to drink. And this is just the thing to keep you afloat on your back as you drift where the current chooses on the long road towards hibernation.⠀
⠀
Those of you who were at the table when we served up Food for Clouds might remember it as our first NEIPA to fall just shy of white can territory while not quite fulfilling the skyrocket prereqs. Like the sustenance for cumulus that came before it, this beer was brewed to fit a more freeform, improvisational, hip-hopped playbill. While not technically nectar, this beer certainly is the very picture of it—especially when framed in a glass.⠀
⠀
This beer is a teacher. The lesson? That, just because it looks like a juice, and drinks like a juice, doesn’t mean it’s not a high-power New England IPA. This pretty-as-a-picture pour is wham, bam, (thank you!), jammed with heaps of hops from the land down under. It’s nothing if not a surefire way to let your tongue live while it’s young. Even if it’s not. So grab a pal, grasp one of these and shoot the breeze, please.⠀

473ml can. Pours a cloudy pale gold with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick, soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, peach, mango, orange, grapefruit, earthy yeast and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, pineapple, peach, mango, papaya, guava, grapefruit, earthy yeast, oats and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, soft, oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy and delicious.
