Conundrum is the newest entry into our &Telier series. A Candy IPA, brewed in collaboration with our friends down South at Heavy Reel. Inspired by the Mystery White Airhead, we used Citra and Mosaic hops and added some mystery fruit flavors. The trick with this one is uncovering those mystery fruit flavors and deciphering what this Conundrum is all about. Pouring a beautiful dark golden color, the vibrant aromas basically smacks you in the face, in the best way possible. If you close your eyes, it brings you back to your childhood of when you drank a Juicy Juice or snacked on that mystery airhead or fruit roll up. The taste follows the nose, and your palette is immersed in all sorts of fruit flavors from cherries to grapes to berries…for you to decide.

Added by Act 25. 1st review. At brewer. fresh off the candy press.
a) luscious head and lace, over hazed body
s) the problem with fruit flavor additives is blended with ABV they descend into bathroom, back of the bus disinfectant aromas. Almost quit this one.
t) all fruit arrives artificial on the candy aisle - mystery indeed.
f) even the finale (due to additives) feels metalic and artificial - so I'm a pass.
