Cellarmaker and Ghost Town have joined their dark forces to create a hop-focused beer in worship of the Sweet Leaf. We rolled up our choicest hops in one ULTRA DANK and STICKY West Coast IPA. Nelson Sauvin and Waimea hops from New Zealand, Australian Enigma and of course the terpene heavy Simcoe combine to exhibit aromas of dispensary displays and hotboxed 1972 Dodge van.

Quite pale, thin head, more onion than weed, i mean onion is sweet but it'�s really not a leaf. Not really a weedy hop blend with fermented with sweet pale malt notes. So that'�s a thing. As a beer it'�s balanced but again comes across too oniony, especially for a beer than doesn'�t have citra.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 06, 2022. Aroma is hop forward with passion fruit, mango, papaya and gooseberry. Lighter notes of citrus and oily, dank resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a medium large, fairly thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly hop forward with lots of passion fruit, gooseberry, mango and tropical citrus notes. Lighter dank, oily resin notes that linger in the finish with hints of pine. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA but not a particularly interesting hop profile. I generally like these hops, but I think they may just be too evenly distributed to really stand out and as a result are a bit muddled.
