Hopped with Idaho 7 & Eureka, this beer is dangerously dank and just might turn you into a highly skilled martial artist.

5 oz draft. Flavor has soft peach, mild mange, and a sharp grapefruit pith finish. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. The grapefruit rind stack as it warms. Enjoyed it as 4 oz. not sure how I would fell about 16 oz. or more.

Draught at the brewery, 6/30/18.
Heavily hazy, blonde-brass with deeper maize hues. White head atop is medium-sized, dense, and shows moderate retention.
Juicy peach, orange and mango mix with slightly more aggressive grapefruit and pine, but it's not overdone in the resin/citrus/pine category and actually lends good balance to the tropical/yellow fruitiness. More estery yeast gives it a full-on NE IPA character and malts are mostly sparse, though do contribute appropriate honey-like character.
In the mouth it's soft, juicy, not boozy or sharp and shows good softness for these hops. Tons of fruit juice and lighter peach-papaya without the associated twang and heavy pine that I get from both of these hops quite often. Engaging carbonation and growing citrus-pine, but it never overwhelms. "Thick" texture with fair amount of yeast could perhaps be a bit lighter, but it counteracts the alcohol and acidity nicely, on the other hand.
