WE HAD TO BRING IT BACK! “Uppercuts and Laser Tag” is one of our most favorite IPA’s, and this batch really ties the whole room together, maaaaan. As always, we made some slight tweaks in line with what we’ve learned lately (I know, I know… “Shut up about the process already, Vince!”), but we’re so so happy to revisit this absolute unit of a Hazy DDH IPA.

Starting with a base of 100% @RiverbendMalt (we’re making more and more beers w/ 100% Riverbend because SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FAVORITES, PEOPLE! WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!) Comprised of Cumberland Pils, hefty doses of their Appalachian Wheat and Oat Malt, and just bunches of Chit Malt for body/head/complexity. We then open-hand slapped this lil’ ditty with Citra in the Whirlpool, then again with a very heavy hot-dip of Citra Dynaboost, and then AGAIN with Mosaic in the first dry-hop. The crew then decided to unleash a flurry of punches in the second dry-hop with MORE Citra, Enigma, and a final haymaker of Vic Secret Terpenes. It’s like getting into a street fight with a tropical fruit salad in a room full of lasers and smoke: passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, clementine, thick and chewy dab-rips, and an overwhelming sense of excitement (and a smidge of danger!).

Our processes will always grow and change, and it becomes most evident that we’ve made progress whenever we continue to revisit an old recipe. We hope you dig this one as much as we do!

Legitimately never had an IPA that tastes like this. Tastes like citrus and a recently oiled football? Odd but not bad.

The aromas are kind of muted cut grass, citrus and resin hops. With some dry grain. Flavors are better, those similar, slightly sweet tart up front with mild bitterness following. Add in A hint of pineapple. Pretty good beer but I suspect this one might be a bit old.
