Welcome to the future. Our collective human consciousness, or Ghost in the Machine, has gained a tolerance for hops beyond what mankind has ever known before. This double India Pale Ale is the necessary outcome. Brewed with obscene quantities of hand-selected Citra hops from our favorite farm in Yakima Valley, WA. Expect pungent grapefruit aromas and flavors, tropical fruit, and less harsh bitterness than most IIPAs.

It pours orange-yellow with a white head. It has excellent retention. There are resinous elemeints up front with pine and papaya.

Aroma was off a bit when poured from a can dated 4/2026 but it’s smooth with classic hazy ipa color. Not picking up the tropical notes much but it’s good and I would go back for more out and about.

Exceptionally well balanced, tasty 2x "NE kinda" ipa with thick haze, great fruity/juicy/melony/slightly tropical flavor & such a dangerously smooth fooler of an 8.5%er that drinks like much less! Zero dank/bitterness for 100ibus. Hint of orangey aftertaste. You'll always remember your first Ghost in the Machine!

Nice bittering that doesn’t linger. In other words not astringent!

Pours glug glug into my nonic opaque orange with a sturdy creamy head. Aroma is lemony, passion fruit , orange rind. Taste follows with some grapefruit, peaches, some light funk. Feels creamy , soft. Buzzy carbonation, very mild smack in the finish. Very tasty and I’m glad I can try this!

Masterclass in brewing, juicy, dank, perfect NEIPA. Just to try this for the first time, I drove an hour one way and it did not dissapoint. I may go back to get more!
