Laurel is a Double IPA brewed with Munich malt and white wheat malt. Irresponsibly hopped with three of our favorite American varieties. Big flavors of orange juice, lychee, grapefruit, and pine forests.

Growler filled 7/22, drunk 8/3/18, shared by Stacey, thanks!
Hazy peach-copper. White head slowly falls to cover showing good retention there.
Bit of West Coast and NE throughout the nose show nectarine, pineapple, mango and strong pine. Pretty nice, though a touch of vegetal Mosaic character. No alcohol, low resin and sparse malt.
In the mouth it's a bit garlic-y, though not badly so. Mango and pine provide an interesting juxtaposition while lightly juicy pineapple and drier nectarine emerge on the end. Great texture, as New Park seems to have nailed down, with engaging carbonation and soft, supple malt. Warming shows some cantaloupe, peach-papaya and some hot, twangy sharpness. Pretty nice, but I don't like the acidic, pine and bad Mosaic notes.

32 oz. growler from the source shared by Stacey. Aroma shows mild oranges, light pine. Tropical fruit in the center. Citrus peel hints. Shows a stern bitterness in the form of pine / herbal. I wish I had had a larger sample. Nice stuff!
