It’s usually better to unify than divide. Wedge Issue is a series of double IPA’s where we take two hops that divide opinion around the brewery and put them together in equal amounts to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts. For Wedge Issue: Bravo | Lotus, we added significant amounts of Bravo and Lotus hops as pellets, and costum distillate to grain bill consisting of Pearl malt, wheat and oats fermented with New England yeast. Look for a meeting of Bravo floral aromatics to be complimented by Lotus’s vanilla and tropical fruits notes for more modern North East style. Drink wedge Issue and believe in a day when arguments end in delight.

16 ounce can. My fifth different Wedge Issue varietal. Keep ‘em coming, Augie! Hazy orange gold pour. Large pillowy white head leaves exquisite lacing. Floral hop aroma hints at tangerine and vanilla. Flavor is sweet citrus, lime, orange and vanilla. Some citrusy bitterness in middle. A hint of grape and lime on backend. Soft on palate from the wheat and oats. Tasty.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 4/28/22. Canned 4/22/22. Hazy yellowish-orange color with a nice creamy and frothy off-white head. Strong lacework. Two hops I'm a little less familiar with than some of the one's that get showcased all the time are doing there work here, and I'm getting sweet juiciness on the aroma. Mango, pineapple, papaya, and vanilla. Rather juicy flavor as well. Sweet, lightly sticky. Drinks smooth. It seems that I am getting much more of the Lotus than the Bravo. Pretty tasty overall.
