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: Citra l El Dorado, we added significant amounts of Citra and El Dorado hops as pellets, powder, and a custom distillate to a grain bill consisting of pilsner, wheat, and oats fermented with New England yeast. Look for the meeting of Citra’s classic profile to be brightened on to its mango, lychee side by El Dorado’s golden pineapple and pear shine in a plush pale. Drink Wedge Issue and believe in a day when arguments end in delight.

16 ounce can. Bigely hazed orange gold color. Frothy beige head dissipates to a small creamy cap. Perfumy hop aroma hints at bright citrus, honeysuckle and melon. Bready malt base. Then comes the rush of complex hops. Fresh spring onions, lemon, tangerine, pineapple, mango and ripe pear overwhelm the palate. Sharp bitter finish has resiny notes. Delightful!

16 oz can from the brewery, 2/21/21. Canned 1/27/21. Fully hazed yellowish-orange, white head, solid lace. Mangonion, pineapple, and a bit of citrus. Good balance of sweet and dry. Good body, good feel. Very nice beer.
