The biggest planet deserves our biggest IPA to date. JUPITER was brewed entirely off its first runnings for an ultra-concentrated wort, and used huge portions of high protein grains bringing a big body and insane head retention. 100% Riwaka in the kettle gives aromas of ripe grapefruit and freshly peeled clementines. Continuing to bring the best of and our favorite NZ varieties from recent brews, this beer was dry hopped at over twice our usual rate using Kohia Nelson, more Riwaka, and Nelson Hop Kief from our pals at @freestylehops. Abundant flavors of guava, fresh squeezed OJ (the delicious pulpy kind), and juicy citrus with only a slight bitterness. This beast is wildly easy to drink, with only a faint heat that presents itself as it warms.

Pint can pours with a dirty dark opaque gold colored body that supports a lasting dirty off white head of foam. The aroma offers up warm pineapple, over ripe white grape, cantaloupe and then some notes of mango and ripe tangelo into the end of the draw. The taste delivers bold sweet pineapple blended with sweet over ripe white grapes, cantaloupe and guava. To midway tangy tangelo and mango try to develop some balance against the onslaught of sweetness but the come up short. Into the finish the massive ABV tries to intercede the sweetness too in a lingering second round battle royal. Overall this is too God damn sweet to be a great beer but this works decently for such a big hazy IIIIPA.
