With Change Up #14, we’ve focused on the varietal Motueka. For long time IHCA fans, Motueka was a key ingredient in Enlightenment’s Illumination Farmhouse IPA. Known for it’s bright burst of lemon-lime flavors and aromas, it takes center stage in Change Up #14. It’s backed up by a combination of Simcoe, Cascade, and Amarillo; creating a foundation of fresh squeeze orange juice flavors. The beers body is soft and rounded to deliver waves of intense tropical flavor.

Draught at Ginger Man, 10/11/18.
Thick, thick, soupy, muted bronze. Gotta love the appearance of these guys' IPAs. Big white head atop showing great retention.
Bubble gum, fruits, pine and strong mosaic or simcoe-like vegetal notes. Hmmm. Kind of underwhelming mostly because it's like 90% yeast and 10% hop character. And the hop character doesnt even seem particularly good.
Kinda yeasty again, in mouth. Popcorny, dirty, bland yeasty, yikes! Not much on the juice... Dry, with a great texture and carbonation. No problems there. Just needs less yeast in suspension. Not resinous or bitter. Very disappointing. Dirty, popcorny, metallic yeast ruins it.
