Imagine if hazy IPAs never made their mark on the beer world. What if, instead of the hazy DIPA we know today, Ghost in the Machine became a crystal-clear West Coast DIPA? We’ve taken everything that makes Ghost in the Machine great and reimagined it as a traditional West Coast DIPA. This version boasts a bold tropical citrus punch from the Citra hops we’ve always used in Ghost and, thanks to a longer boil and greater hot-side hopping rates, features crisp, grapefruit pith notes that balance a malty backbone. For a big DIPA, it’s still an easy-drinking beer with a dry, clean finish—a tribute to the classic IPA roots that set the stage for the hazy revolution while still capturing the bold hop character we love.

Taster at the Grayson Exhibit A(le). Oddly unclear, yellow color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is wet grass, peach, butterscotch, and rose. Sweet and citrusy, with a sharp, easy bitterness. Medium body, sharp, and a little pulpy. Clean, juicy, and tasty.

Can online from Brew Export, as part of their 2024 advent calendar. New brewery & new region, so that's a win. Pours hazed orange gold with white foam. Aroma: citrus, grapefruit pith, resin, pine. Light to moderate sweet & bitter. Very smooth, lightly dry. Medium body with fine carbonation. Just lacking some assertive bitterness for the style, for me. Nevertheless, a tasty drop.
