Brewed as an homage to our storefront neighbor Central Camera, a 120-plus year old establishment that is a 3rd generation family-run business.
Out of Focus IPA is simple in nature, but delivers on what many so enjoy about this style: all the hoppy, juicy flavor with none of the bitterness. For our version, we use Citra, Sabro and HBC 472 hops to punch up the flavors of coconut, strawberry, ripe melon and pineapple. The malt is a mix of pale, pilsner, oats, wheat and dextrin malt.

Draught @ the brewpub. Hazy dark yellow with a large foamy off-white head, citrus-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter mango-citrus peel taste, pineapple coriander flavor, thin body, long finish. Solid NEIPA.

Aromas are slightly old resin hops, citrus, malt and onion. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a bit of stone fruit and melon. Bittersweet up front with slightly soft carbonation. Finish is a little melon candy. Not bad.
