"We contain inescapable intimacy with earth and dust. We are made up of earth."
- Book of Earth, Heidi Gustafson
Flowering plants, water, air, time and soil. These make the humble rituals of beer. As the colorful renewal of spring hints at emergence, we can feel our hands yearning to scratch the dirt and play in the mud and sun again. A strength and calm and joy comes from simply honoring the creative power of Earth.
It was a joy to create this West Coast IPA with Heidi’s gorgeous Book of Earth in mind.

Canned 04/05/2023 (5 months old, I guess -- bought against my better judgment probably). 16 oz. can, pours a hazy bright golden amber with a medium white head. Aroma is a bit old, with bready malt, citrusy hops, some tropical fruits, and light pine. Flavour is fairly bright, with tropical fruits, resinous hops, light pine, and caramely bready malt. The hops definitely don't seem as vibrant as intended, but you can tell this was a very good beer at canning. Still good now, but a little past its prime.
