Mind Circus IPA has a mild bitterness and a thick, luscious mouthfeel. This style of IPA is what is being called in the beer world a “Hazy IPA” Dominantly herbaceous and grassy, with moderate tropical notes as well as some bright citrus. This unique hazy IPA gains its flavor of grapes and grass from the Nelson hops, and its tropical notes of pineapple and mango from the Strata hops. It is unfiltered leaving a “haze” and some yeast for more texture. Oats were also used to add to the softer mouthfeel and hazy appearance.

Pretty smooth with a decent citrus/tropical body. One of the best NEIPAs I’ve had on the West Coast.

On tap at The Joint in Ocean Beach, CA. Honey gold pour. Small white head. Bittersweet citrus aroma. Flavor is bittersweet notes of grapefruit, lemon, lime and pineapple. Nice depth and layers of flavor. Well balanced and drinkable. Yum!

Novare draught, 6/16/22. Light to medium haze. Maize golden. Small, white head. Juicy, spicy, floral nose. Big nectarine and tangerine. Huge aromatics with minimal yeast and malt character. Juicy, dry, heavily estery, with strong cracker and light bubble gum. Soft, malty texture. Could use some citra here, but this is pretty phenomenal for Simcoe.

Capped 500 ml from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is tropical with a hint of butyric acid. Small hint. Med body or better. Texture a bit gummy. Flavor is mixed tropicals - say green melon and passion fruit with pale stone fruit and citrus - say lemon. Juicy, so not all that dry, but bitter enough to deal with that. Very good flavor.

50cl bottle pours a hazy yellow with some fluffy white head.  Nose has mango, melon, there's a distinct grainy note, almost like Maris Otter.  Flavor is sweet, some butterscotch, then the fruit, melon and peach mostly.  Finishes starchy.  8 4 7 4 14
