The Data Set series is our endeavor to explore a broad spectrum of yeast and how they affect the flavor outcome of our style of beer.
Each batch is crafted with the same base of ultra-pale malt and juicy American hops to enable the different attributes of yeast to delineate each flavor profile.
For Data Set #2, we utilize a wild modern yeast that generates thiols through biotransformation, releasing a wave of tropical aromas often experienced in Southern Hemisphere hops. An intensive mash-hopping schedule feeds this transformation. The difference between Data Set #1 and #2 is profound and almost entirely a function of the yeast utilized. We are as excited about these beers as we were when we first tasted Julius almost thirteen years ago. Enjoy!

Pours a very hazy pale straw color with a creamy white head that provides significant lacing. Ultra pale malt indeed. The nose is rife with dank citrus aromas, including mango, grapefruit, and passion fruit. Very nice and indeed more “amped up” than Data Set #1.
The taste is led by all that dank citrus, especially the delicious mango and the passion fruit, but there’s also a significant sweet oat flavor that provides balance. I could drink this until it came out my ears.
A full, soft mouthfeel is expected and delivered. This is really well done in the vein of Tree House’s iconic beers.

Strong head production and good retention.
Very strong fruity notes, in particular stone fruit, guava, pineapple, and mango. Minor dankness and some bright green herb and pine notes. Definitely a stronger overall impression on the nose than #1 (and much greener), but not explosive.
Similar on the palate. It's a touch melange-ish and homogeneous at first, but those tropical notes really start to shine mid-sip, lasting through the back third. Tasting notes of mango, pineapple, very light dankness, parsley, vanilla, oregano, tangerine, papaya, berries, apple, pear. No guava or peach, so there's a small delta from the nose.
Semi-dry finish, which I don't recall from #1 or #4, but there is a lasting almost herb-like light leafy bitterness long after the sip.
This one sits pretty comfortably in the Data Set lineup. It is indeed more expressive than #1, with more expressive yeast esters, and perhaps even more phenols. It's less explosive than the thiolized yeast, both on the nose and palate.

Picked-up a single can as part of a mixed four pack of this series for about twenty dollars. My three hundred and seventh brew from these guys. Canned on date of 3/10/23. Solid, not outstanding.
