Offset is an American double IPA brewed with 2-Row malt and hopped generously with Citra and El Dorado. Exploding with flavors of ripe fruit, watermelon, and citrus this beer is a study in achieving maximum hop flavor with hardly any bitterness.

On tap at the Industrial Way location. It's an opaque, pulpy, dark orange-light brown orange juice with no sparkle, thin cap of white head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is HUGE citrus--mostly orange. Taste follows aroma but is more lemon-orange along with grapefruit and pineapple and has a vanilla creaminess to it, likely from the malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the taste has a complexity well beyond the aroma but both are really strong. Delicious.

Pours a very pulpy melon color, thin white head. Nose is dank and sticky, onion patch and armpit, fruit follows, super ripe melon and falling apart mango. Some vanilla sherbet. Flavor has some starchy oat, a bit less nuance than the nose, more straight forward melon, some sorbet, oranges and tangerines now. Finishes full bodied, creamy, lick of bitterness. 9 4 7 4 14

4 oz. sample. Flavor showed me: Floral, mild malt sweetness, bitterness is moderate. Lighter / softer body. Alcohol was pretty hidden. Pretty nice for the style.

Pours a hazy, light banana-yellow, with good-sized and lasting head. Aroma has tropical fruit, melon, sour washcloth. Flavors include tropical and citrus fruit, some melon, a slight touch of hop-burn (or alcohol-burn, not sure what the cause is), and some pine/spruce hop bitterness in the finish. Another beautiful-looking can (seriously, the art is outstanding).
