Brewed with a blend of Galaxy, Strata, and Citra hops, this hazy Imperial IPA showcases a few new tricks and a distinctive yeast that is somewhat atypical for both of our teams. Opaquely mysterious with robust aromas of passionfruit, lime, mango, and orange floating above a lovely luminous pour, it is complemented by a dank background; this IPA delivers some of the best of both experiences our breweries are known for.

Appearance: Pours cloudy and golden colored with a one finger head; good retention with clumps of lacing
Smell: Lime and mango prominent with orange and pineapple supporting
Taste: Cakey malt provides the base for the tropical fruit flavors to emerge; mango and lime flavors are joined by the pineapple and orange flavors; passionfruit bitterness in the mid-palate offsets the sweeter fruit elements to some extent; the finish is somewhat dank
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied and creamy with moderate to high carbonation; slight warmth in the gullet
Overall: THe high ABV here is well hidden and the juicy flavors dominate; having been to Narrow Gauge a few times this beer certainly shows the influence of that brewery
Thanks, falloutsnow, for the opportunity
