Perils of the Sea is a fresh Double IPA brewed in collaboration with Mast Landing, featuring 100% Maine-grown malt. Pilsner malt adds a springy sweetness, while Mapleton Gold and Flaked Red Wheat bring warmth, nuttiness, and body. A blend of Citra, Chinook, and Centennial in the kettle lays down citrus and pine, while a dry-hop of Strata, Citra, and Idaho 7 delivers waves of strawberry, passionfruit, and grapefruit, rounded by subtle notes of sage and black tea on a clean, lightly sweet finish.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow color somewhat with a chill haze to it with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: passion fruit, strawberries, lemon and grapefruit hop tones; clean biscuity malts
Flavor: runs bittersweet with some juiciness but an herbal quality seems to get the bittersweet juiciness scaled down a bit; finishes with a brisk strawberry to lemony and grapefruity vibe
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under, somewhat a sipper; herbal smoothness with a certain hop bitterness getting a little punchy with the tongue
Overall: I say a very nicely done NEDIPA well worthy of returning to. That herbal tea thing might be a little weird but it works.

Can @ Vinyl Beer, Manhattan NYC (Jul 2025). Pours faintly cloudy lemon yellow with a foamy off-white head, faint rotten citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel taste with faint rotten flavior, pine, thin body, long medium bitter citrusy finish. A bit of a strange flavor, but smooth and tasty.

Can (5/21/25) from Andover Classic Wines. Cloudy, bright yellow, white floaties, thin head, light lacing. Aroma is strong tart grape must. Taste is as aroma with citrus backdrop. Thick, frothy texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Kind of saison-like. Different for a double NEIPA. OK.

16 oz can, thank you Clarkvv. Aroma is mild grapefruit, lemon and herb. Very classic hop profile. Lemon, grapefruit and very mild pine. No resin, thankfully. Well balanced.

Canned May 2025, drunk 7/26/25.
Top pour of the can is clear gold-brass. Small, white head.
Heavy darjheeling with unripe stone fruit and unripe tropical fruit. Dainty honey and light white bread. Good balance with mineral on the finish.
Juicy, tangy, tons of stone fruit and unripe tropical fruit. Nice and dry with a honey-white-bread character that shows good depth and attenuation. Lingering mineral and moderate bitterness. Nice balance and interesting stuff.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Mango and passion fruit aromas. Medium bodied with sweet mango and passion fruit upfront turning to dusty melon in the medium length finish.
