An experimental small batch brew with loads of specialty malts plus Apollo, Azacca, Idaho 7, and CryoPop hops. A little sweetness artfully balanced with the bitterness and tropical notes from these insanely great US hops.

Tap at Idlewild. Murky dark orange-amber. Some tropical, stone fruit touches, soft, hit jammy, fresh, bigger malt. Empty taste, remarkably empty, bit dry taste, some citric candy, vague honey. No bitterness, more like a little saltiness. I don't hate it, just very weird. Not much alcohol in evidence either. Technically dangerously drinkable but...
