We had to ask ourselves, how do we take our Animale series to the next level for our 8th anniversary? We figured this special release absolutely requires a wild amount of unconventional hop products, a menagerie of ingredients you’ve never tasted before today. So, welcome to the “Animale House” party – a celebration of everything we’ve learned over the last eight years while experimenting with hop-forward beer. Made with a heavy oat and wheat base for a pillowy body and jam packed with the juiciest hops on planet earth. Chinook Incognito was added on the hot side, then we fermented with a heavily thiolized yeast strain and dry-hopped with loads of Citra, Mosaic, Sabro, and Citra Lupomax. Expect amplified flavours and aromas of orange juice, guava, and pineapple – fresh from the punch bowl. But wait, the party is just getting started! We also injected a new hop product called Cosmic Guava Euphorics after fermentation to load it with as much tropical fruit character as humanly possible.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy, muddled yellow with a small white head. Aroma has some candied fruits, melony hops, and light hopburn. Flavour is much the same, with a strange candied fruit expression to the hop combo, gentle hopburn, a strange yeast expression, and finishing bitter and semi-sweet. Odd yeast expression that doesn’t work for me, but at least it’s not chalky. Okay.

Opaque, thin. Big fresh peachy aroma, with some pear, gooseberry. Sweet, and with a lot of alcohol. This has some of the good fruits from the aroma, but the alcohol isn't super complex.

6oz pour at brewery. Pours nearly opaque yellow with white head. Aroma has pine, dank hops, and tropical fruit. Flavour has orange, pine, tropical fruit. A bit of chalk, but not too egregious. Mouthfeel is pretty thick. Not great, but not terrible.
