IMPALATION is our newest Double IPA, spawned from the hearts and minds of our brewers. This one is built on a base of 2-row, oat malt, wheat malt, and Munich malt. Hopped in the kettle with Amarillo and Rakau hops. Impaled with a dry hopping of Nectaron Cryo, Amarillo, and Mosaic for a brash and unapologetic fruity-yet-bitter character. The Nectaron Cryo really sings here. Notes of candied orange peel, pine sap, and sipping a Paloma while watching the sunset over the Carpathian Mountains.

Received a care package from the generous @jzeilinger on 10-16-25. Canned on 9-2-25; consumed on 11-18-25. Cold stored since receiving.
Beer poured turbid orange with very nice white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is citrus and stone fruit forward.
Taste is a larger pale malt base in which the hopping gives me an interesting flavor profile. Getting orange, grapefruit, and peach with a touch of pineapple in post sip aspirations. Finishes with a nice piney bitterness; 7/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.
Overall, i really dig the hop combo. I have found that i am not big on Nectaron if it is used as the primary but i like the play between the old school hop and Nectaron flavors.
