Our fifth hazy DIPA crafted alongside our pals at Superflux. This edition is elevated with thiolized yeast, infusing it with a burst of vibrant grapefruit, passionfruit, and guava flavors. We’ve enriched it with a generous dry hop of our beloved southern hemisphere hops, all harmoniously layered over a base of Canadian barley, wheat, and fluffy oats.

Poured from 473mL can. Opaque yellow with white head. Upfront there are some nice bright tropical hops, but it fades fast into a muted almost hop burn quality. A touch yeasty, but not as egregiously as most Superflux hazies. Okay.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange gold with a medium, fluffy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, guava, passionfruit, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, orange peel, pineapple, mango, cantaloupe, earthy yeast, oats and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and delicious.

I mean it looks fine. But it's gloppy, underattenuated nonsense. I mean you can literally smell the phenols that are kicking because the ferm isn't dialled in. This beer is like S&O and Superflux started making beer but S&O went home and left Superflux to fuck up the most important part. This beer is executed at the level of a Superflux microwaved hot dog, which is really beneath both breweries if we're being honest.
