Gold Medalist Double IPA (8.5%). Brewed to commemorate our One Year Anniversary, this special batch is an amplified version of our core IPA, Medalist. Super-saturated with American hops, this juicy beer drips notes of pineapple and tropical fruit. Come grab it while it lasts, as we will only be brewing and releasing this beer periodically!

16 ounce can from brewery thanks to Matt S. This is my salute to the United States Olympic Hockey teams hat trick of Gold Medals at the 2026 Winter games in Milan Italy. Congrats to the Women’s, Men’s and Sled Hockey teams.

Murky yellow gold pour. Rocky white head. Aromas of tropical citrus and ripe melon. First sip yields notes of sweet citrus, pineapple, cantaloupe and peach. Some warming alcohol in middle. Smooth mouthfeel. A bit of sticky pine on backend. Dry, bitter finish and aftertaste.

This reminds me of an Equilibrium beer back when they were good. Juicy, fruity, little hoppy.
