Amped up with an electric selection of hops and a sunburst color that would give Les Paul all the vibes; X-Hops Gold is a melodic blend of Strata, Citra, Simcoe, and Sabro hops. This super-saturated haze for dayz shredder has really struck a chord with us. Rock on.

I tried this beer at the brewery. It poured a hazy yellow with white head and that left some lace. The scent had tropical fruit peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with tropical citrus presence and a nice fruit peel spice highlight. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

2021 batch. 8.4 % abv.
This is a completely different beer than the former Xhops. It’s now essentially a hazy DIPA, rather than the classic APA it once was. Pour is turbid with stiff white head. Aroma is reminiscent of pineapple. Flavor is apricot and mango, very tropical. Overall, excellent!
