We wanted to bring you a new extremely drinkable beer in an approachable 6-percenter form. Protostar uses thiolized yeast, a Strata, Citra, and Vic Secret hop bill to introduce a beer bursting with a guava, mango, and passion fruit nose. Creamy and delicate flavors of fruit cups, tropical fruit medley, lemon sorbet, and crushed pineapple lead into a custard like assorted melon forward #EQjuice finish with a touch of hoppy bite

Tip Tap Room draught, 4/27/25.
Heavily hazy, bright brass-maize. Small, modestly-retained, white head.
Slight punchy tropical fruit with lots of papaya and pineapple. Yeasty as Eq IPAs often are. But clean and with good maltiness, biscuit, and white bread.
Bright, tart, tropical fruit notes, lemon, tangerine and white bread with plentiful yeastiness and a bit of biscuit and cracker on the finish. Good malt depth and attenuation.
