We’re excited to flip the calendar with an ultra clean IPA fermented with lager yeast that pulls tons of aroma out of Citra + Mosaic. Catty blueberry, fleshy grapefruit, dank grass & a pleasant dab of funk fully engage your senses start to finish. Big refreshment flows easy through its medium body & moderate abv turn after turn. Slow Melt pours brilliantly clear with a golden glow to brighten the grey gloom ahead.

Aromas are malt, grapefruit, MJ and a little bit of other citrus. Flavors are similar to nose with grapefruit coming out more. Good balance between bitter sweet and carbonation. Tasty.

Draught at Wilder: pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is citrusy, some light dankness and mellow pine, berries, perhaps. Taste is tangy, without too much if any bitterness. Generally smooth and pleasant.

On draught at Bob's Bar during the "23rd Annual Extravaganza!!!" on 02/22/2025. Clear pale golden pour with a thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with a mildly dank hoppy character and notes of grapefruit and roast malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Can. Pours a gold with a slight orange hue and a whitehead that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of pine with a bit of onion and a touch of sweet grain underlying. Flavor has a pine and onion throughout with a bit of sweet grains underlying.
