Description
For us, good living means exploring – the opposite of “comfortable.” It’s not just about craft, but about questing, questioning, transforming “What If” into “Here’s How,” by way of an experiment so crazy, it just might work.
Exploration is the line from local beer maker to World-Class Brewer. It’s a pioneer impulse, and it sets the authentic, rural heartbeat of Southern Tier. It’s how we got here. And by the time others catch up, it’ll be why we’re already somewhere else.
From our wildly innovative founder, Phin DeMink, who’s still a daily inspiration, to the new generation of brewers, thinkers, and drinkers who share our pursuit of what’s next, we keep honing the creative edge of brewing discovery.
So this is an open invitation, to anyone who gives a damn about the difference between a well-crafted beer and a stunningly satisfying encounter with the new. Join us on the road less traveled.

As a rater who usually detests IPA, was looking forward to this. There have been a few lighter IPA that have tweaked my interest. Not great mind you, just acceptable for a typical macro lager lover. This 3$ can came from JR's. Its slightly hazy like lemonade and has a very small creamy head. Lots of lively carbonation visibly within. Nose is mild IPA hop perfume. Taste? Yea, it is bitter, but I don't find it offensive. It achieves the IPA personality without mowing over my palate. Come to think about it, it actually comes across like a rather lighthearted APA. Goes down fairly easy and seems to have some manners about itself. Very good level of carbonation on the tongue as well. Yea, I think I could drink a few of these with my yeti backyard friend. Bitterness builds a little thru the middle and finishes with a medium light, may I say somewhat friendly, bitter IPA-ish finish. As with most IPA, I found nothing insulting, obnoxious, rude, disrespectful, objectionable, nor disgusting about this particular IPA. Not as refreshing as Flying Monkeys Light Moves or North Peak Wanderer, but certainly worth checking out if you typically despise the IPA style.

Bright gold pour. Scattered lace. Medicinal taste with super sweet palate. The artificial flavoring lingers on the palate.

Pistachio nose. Clear amber, medium head. Sweet pistachio, vanilla. Medium body, easy carbonation. Nice flavor, but a smidge too sweet.

The aroma was amazing but the flavor was a bit harsh and unbalanced.
