A smoked IPA. A smoked malt base sparks with the addition of mosaic hops, igniting notes of charcoal grilled pineapples.

22oz bottle pours a clear copper with a little fluffy white head. Really nice. Balanced with the malt base. There is some smoke and some minerality but it's balanced. I don't get a ton of hop, more black tea than anything. 7 3 7 4 13

On tap at the brewery. Pours a mildly hazy golden colour with and orange hue. Small off-white head and thing creamy lacing. Smoke aromas over fresh grassy-citrus hops. Refreshing citrus flavours with oranges and the smokiness hitting in the end. The mouthfeel is dry enough. Not sure how I fell about combining these two styles, but must say they got it done right.

At the source: pours lightly hazy gooden with a white head. Aroma is light hops and some smoke. Taste is smokey with a bit of bitterness. Pretty solid.
