Collaboration with Vitamin Sea Brewing
Legend has it, Flying Seahorses cannot be caught. Challenge accepted! We dispatched ourselves on an aquatic adventure with our Dino-mite buddies at Vitamin Sea to capture these majestic creatures. These miniature, magical, quasi-equestrian sea dwellers took us on a merry-go-round ride of flavor, featuring PNW-grown Citra, paired with personally selected Nelson Sauvin and Pacific Sunrise hops from Hop Revolution. Strap on your snorkel and let this hard-to-catch Double IPA take you on your own journey of mythical proportions.

A nice presentation of Nelson comes through from behind the Citra, but this seems a little watered down to me. Definitely drinkable as have been *every* Goliath I've ever had, but it won't be my go-to compared to Sues or Pompeii.

Copper to gold in color with a hazy complexion. There’s a three quarter inch densely packed dishwater white head. Moderate soapy lacing is present. The aroma is of earthy green veggies. I’m tasting green onions and veggies. The mouth is smooth and quaffable for the ABV.

This beer was the end of the keg. Decent head which leaves spots on the glass. Cloudy, dirty gold color.
Strong grapefruit rind aroma.
Oddly thin bodied with ample carbonation. Smooth pale malt start. The hop is not nearly as pronounced as the smell suggests creating a nice balance. No noteworthy alcohol presence.
