Bright was created to be a clean and elegant showcase for one of our favorite hops - Mosaic! It is crafted with a simple malt bill and fermented with clean American Ale yeast to create a flavor profile that is more a function of its vibrant fresh ingredients than an expression of yeast character. Bright’s aroma is a cornucopia of citrus dank… The taste follows suit with notes of grapefruit, sweet berries, and clementine with a gentle orange rind finish. She is dry, soft, and adequately bittered resulting in a very approachable yet pungent Double IPA.

Light haze, and with a thin head. This has a bit of cat pee on the nose, with a light biscuity note. Bitter, and with a fresh cantaloupe note, with a hint of papaya. Well-balanced, nice bitterness, good malt and restrained yeastiness. Solid.

Very good flavor that is reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruits. A little less bitter than one would expect for a double IPA. Overall it had a very pleasant palate and would definitely rank as one of the better IPA's that I've tried recently.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has earthy citrus with tropical fruits and a bit of onion underlying. Flavor has sweet tropical fruits and earthy citrus with grass and a touch of onion underlying.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/13/2017. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium golden/yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit, bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit, bread dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Minimal pine, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, biscuit, bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Very slight dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol for 7.8%. Overall this is an amazing DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, clean, and refreshing to drink for the ABV, with the very minimally bitter/drying finish. Super vibrant, juicy, and lightly dank hops; perfectly balanced malts, without being overly sweet/heavy feeling. A highly enjoyable offering.
