We’ve been honing our soft & squishy IPA game since we opened our doors in 2017. Our constant pursuit of pillowy hop perfection leads us down many paths, but some combinations lather better than others. Strata, Cashmere Cryo and our hand selected Mosaic & Citra Cryo. Soothing and refreshing, just like a sponge bath at Burning Man. Relax, Rinse & Repeat.

Aromas are an interesting mix of resin, pineapple, citrus and dry grain, maybe some minerals. Flavors are similar to nose, on the sweet side, with not quite enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Not bad but a little too sweet.

16 oz. can. Aroma is citrus with a little bit of mango. The flavor has great tropical (mango, star fruit) and soft herb hint under the fruit. Great attenuation of the yeast leading to a dry texture. Nothing overly sweet. Mouthfeel is indeed soft with a juicy texture. Really well crafted. I finished the can real quick.

Can. Pours a cloudy light yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus rind and a slightly dank onion with some juicy citrus underlying. Flavor has sweet citrus and citrus rind with touches of onion and grapefruit supporting.
