Impact Zone is a 6.3% ABV “San Diego-style” IPA that uses the ultra popular Mosaic and Citra hops. These amazing varieties impart a complex citrus, tropical fruit and hints of woodsy qualities we have come to expect in a modern IPA. We lowered the bitterness and use some hazy IPA techniques to maximize the flavor and aroma. The finish is crisp and dry and refreshing.

On tap at Rip Current - North Park, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out mega dank cat pissy hops, pine and biscuity malt. Flavour is dank and piney as hell, with intense pot-like hops, cat piss, and piney hops. Dank, piney and crisp. Abrasive but well-made.

Can. Pours clear golden orange, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is weirdly spicy, floral, orange pith. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. Odd.

Pours yellow gold, quite clear. Medium white head, foamy with pretty good lacing and retention. Floral, grapefruit hops, moderately juicy, some berries and pineapple, little to no malt character. Fairly dry, moderate bitterness, grapefruit hop flavor, citrus rind finish, clean aftertaste. Light, fizzy feel, a little bit of hop oil.

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Lovely aroma, lots of grapefruit, peach, orange and tangerine. Medium sweet flavor with some pine, more tangerine, grapefruit and peach, balking pale malts, touches of pee. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Balanced finish but still really full on with the hops -- quite an achievement. More ripe citrus fruits, grapefruit, mango, light bread, piss, pine, tangerine. Stellar. Super drinkable.
