Sometimes, just brewing an IPA isn't enough. Sometimes, you need to reinvent the wheel. In this case, we chose to do that by employing the use of a hop hash, a by-product of the pelletizing process brought to us by our friends in Yakima. This super dense, concentrated hop product provides a very clean, pronounced hop bitterness and aroma. Using a small amount of Crystal malt to cut that bitterness, we dosed this beer heavily with Simcoe, Chinook, and Mosaic Hop Hash, leaving you with one of our most hop-forward beers to date.

Pours a slightly clear honey orange. Smells of dank, small fruit, grapefruit juice, and lemon rinds. Taste reflects the smells in the hops aspect but I'm not detecting any of the fruit or lemon rind tastes. Feel is medium with a slight oily aspect. Overall this is an okay beer with better scents than taste.

On tap at Tony's Darts Away in Burbank, CA.
Pours a clear orange with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of citrus zest, grapefruit juice, and earthy hop aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest, grapefruit juice, pine needle, and earth flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp and dry mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer with great citrus forward hop characteristics all around.
