Cipher is named after an algorithm for encrypting and decrypting data by using a method in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter with a fixed number of positions down the alphabet. Loaded with Enigma, Cipher (IPA) unlocks the code with a 100% Enigma dry hop following its 2-row and wheat base and Strata whirlpool. Bold flavors of citrus, passionfruit, dank grassy melon, green grapes, and stone fruit wrap up with our rainbow melon #EQjuice finish that will help decode our newest IPA.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: bright yellow haziness with a three finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did, just a little bit of lace appeared
Aroma: mixed citrusy to passion fruity to melons and grape hop notes up front with a slight biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty spot on to a nice medium sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes mixed citrusy and passion fruity
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; light smoothness and a little bit of dry tones
Overall: I say a nicely done AIPA or NEIPA depending upon who you talk to that I would be willing to have again.

Ouromas are stone fruit, resin, tree bark and citrus. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, tree bark comes out more as the citrus and add in herbal. Slightly more sweet than bitter with good carbonation. Nice beer.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale lemon yellow, with mid-sized head. Aroma is floral, with some grass, a touch of citrus, white wine. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel seems a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Doesn't really taste like a hazy IPA, but some sort of IPA-adjacent brew: golden ale? APA?

Can. Pours a clear yellow with a slight copper hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light grass and citrus with a bit of light pine and a hint of melon underlying. Flavor has slightly earthy citrus, light melon and some earthy grass with just a hint of mango backing.
