NE style IPA with Citra & Mosaic hops
When our friends at Mammoth tossed out the idea of working on an anniversary beer we know we had to put together a beer with some of the most robust, flavorful ingredients we could find. A base of Vienna and flaked rye bring a big beer mouth feel, balanced by an addition of flaked corn to keep drinkability high. Mosaic and Citra late in the boil, followed up with a double dry hop of more Mosaic and Citra along with minimal bittering give the impression of a beer made solely of pure fruit juice.

16 ounce can. Pours a cloudy orange color, sort of pale, a medium white head. A husky citrus nose. Smooth, toast, lemons, some orange peel, a bitter core. Lemons and grapefruit. Solid.

16 oz can poured. A dense, hazy golden orange pour with a soap bubble head. An IPA that sounds perfect, per the brewers advertising. Floral and sweet juicy fruit aroma. Thick, creamy flavor. Cool, slightly sweet oat like grains, behind a strong juicy hop profile. Lingering cool cream finish. Packed full of flavor. Matchless continues to impress.

Cloudy, thin head. Fruity, has a weedy hop note, has a nice pale malt, with a hint of that blackberry, weedy hop. Thank god they didn't take the name as an excuse to make a banana beer.

16 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy opaque orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with piney hops, stone fruits galore and biscuity malt. Flavour is just lovely, loaded with piney hops, some stone fruitiness, light pith and biscuity malt. Some sticky resins with a touch of sweetness on the finish. Immensely drinkable and wonderfully constructed. Excellent.
