Tree Crawler is an all Citra double IPA. Built on a bed of oats and english yeast esters, Tree Crawler is our expression of Citra hops when pushed to its fullest. We built a luscious, neutral malt body that supports the heavy hop dosing rate, while also allowing the aromatics to shine. What we’re left with is a deceptively drinkable citric treat.

Tree Crawler leads with prominent orange citrus notes followed closely by candied mango and melon with residual grapefruit and pine. It drinks perceptively sweet, but in actuality finishes on the drier side with a gentle, but satisfying bitterness.

RERATE (473ml can batch 2 c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque pale yellow with a thick white head and lace. Aroma of intense dank mango, sweet orange and peach, pulpy grapefruit, citrus zest, mixed tropicals, solid leafy catty hop cones. Flavour is following the nose but a bit drier, grapefruit and mixed citrus zest, smooth mango, underlying pineapple, leafy dank notes. Light cereals. Bone dry finish, grapefruit and tangerine, tropical florals, cannabis, grass, light to moderate resin bitterness, slight warmth. Medium-bodied, low creamy carb. A vast improvement on the first can batch for me. OLD (473ml can from the brewery webshop) Pours nearly opaque yellow-gold with a tight white head and lace. Notes of soft mango, orange, peach, slightly grassy, softly sweet oat-laden pale malt core, almost chalky dry nature to it, subtle citrus peel and soft pine bitterness in the finish, no hint of booze, but a bit muted overall. Medium-full creamy body with soft carbonation. A great mouthfeel like all Badlands beers these days, but I felt like this lacked the punch I was expecting. I don't know if they last more poorly or are just more muted, but their DIPAs are largely inferior to their IPAs at the moment. (7-4-7-4-16)
