Half Acre has half of our heart. We all go way back even before the dawn of Fremont Brewing. Matt and Gabe started Half Acre just before Matt Lincecum started Fremont Brewing. We all stayed in contact as we poured our hearts and souls into launching our breweries. We refer to ourselves as sister breweries because we share the same culture, beer style, and are on a similar trajectory. We have a deep appreciation and admiration for our friendship with Matt, Gabe, and the rest of the Half Acre crew. We have shared a lot of secrets to success over the years and have enjoyed our friends grow, develop, and make amazing beers! We have talked about making a beer together, and the day has finally come! This collaboration has been put on hold for the past two years, and now we bring you Ectoplasm IPA!

pint can. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold color with a medium white head that has good staying power. The aroma is strong with oranges, some pineapple and perhaps a trace of mango. The taste is oranges, bitter grapefruit, and mango. The palate is full and a bit oily. Finishes long with lingering bitter grapefruit. Overall: Decent brew. Ten years ago this would have been world class, today its more or less what we expect from an IPA.

Can. Pours a clear orange hue with a very large white head. A light floral and green fresh hop nose. Malty core, sweet citrus, oranges especially, dusty and earthy. Very sweet at times, but finishes dry. Almost IPL level malty.
