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.

500ml bottle. Tangerine aroma with orange, peach, grapefruit, currant and floral hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and decent, soapy lacing. Starts with juicy tangerine, peach and currant flavors. Finishes smooth but a touch dry with orange, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Pretty nice hazy.

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.
