Previously developed on our 5-barrel pilot brewery and released as RnD #54 Hazy IPA, everyone enjoyed the beer so much, we decided to give it a proper name! Brewed with Brewer’s Gold, a hop variety over 100 years old that had largely faded into obscurity, this beer represents a collaboration between Vinnie and CLS Farms. Together, they revived this classic hop by combining modern growing and kilning techniques with innovative brewing methods.

Pale, some haze. There's a nice fruitiness, good malt base, light bitterness. I don't know how much Brewer's Gold I'm getting, but it's nice balanced hop.

16 oz. bottle, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of pithy stone fruits, some dankness, and gentle citrus. Flavour is clean, with plenty of citrusy hops, gentle pithy stone fruits, and a touch of dankness. Nice hop expression, no chalkiness, just juicy enough. Finishes juicy and nicely bitter. Excellent.

500mL bottle. Pours murky dull yellow with a small white head. Lots of orange juice, tropical fruits, and some light sugars on the nose. Flavour has a nice, bitter orange peel, dry tropical fruit, light sugary malts. Dry and bitter. Nice.

Wish it was a clear Russian River IPA beer.

At Stone Liberty Station, San Diego California, 22nd February 25. amazing venue - Russian River beers are better though, and this is no exception, medium bitter and citrusy with tropical hints
