Breakside is proud to announce a new series of beers benefiting non-profit organizations here in the Pacific Northwest. The concept is simple: we’ll make a great beer, and we can use it to support an even better cause. What better way to use the Breakside platform than to highlight and support folks in our community who are doing great work for our community?

Our first partner is the Children’s Cancer Association. The Children’s Cancer Association provides life-changing programs through comfort, music, and connection to families in need.

The beer is a West Coast IPA featuring our selected lots of Mosaic, New Zealand-Cascade, Nelson Sauvin, and HBC 1019. It’s a throwback to a hazy IPA we used to make called Coming Out Party, and it marries notes of overripe tropical fruit with some classic citrus, stone fruit and a little dank edge.

Grab a can or pint and help us support CCA’s commitment to helping those in need!

The beer is a very attractive deep gold color with school bus yellow highlights. The head of pale cream-colored foam recedes to a patchy shell which lasts to the bottom of the glass and leaves copious lacing. The nose is mostly overripe tropical fruit with notes of green grapes and then citrus with light diesel. The flavor is much more fruity than malty, although a light grainy character manages to show through. The fruit is predominantly mango and papaya nectar, with a little apricot and a steady undercurrent of old-school unsweetened grapefruit juice. It is moderately sweet at best. (That's a good thing.) The finish is lime zest, grape skins, and crackery malt. There's also a citrus bitterness that seems mild on the first sip and markedly more formidable on the last.

Overall, it's another quality WCIPA from my favorite brewery in Portland.
