The 800,000 acre Joshua Tree National Monument is an environmental paradox which is unwelcoming, even brutal during the heat of summer yet delicate and extremely fragile. Home to oases, dry lakes, deserts, flat valleys that reach sea level and rugged mountains Joshua Tree is the place where they all work together in harmony. In respect to the harmonious balance of the Park we selected a delicate yet ranging array of hops from the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand. We employ hop additions to the kettle, whirlpool, and use whole hop flowers in our hop back as well as two separate dry hop additions to create a true to style West Coast Style India Pale Ale meant to be savored when its fresh by our fellow hop heads so please don’t age this beer away. Join us and pay homage to the hop Gods by drinking this brew varied and delicate as its namesake national monument.

22 oz. bottle from Albertsons in Boulder City. Light amber, hazy with small ring of head. Big hoppy aroma, mildly astringent, some citrus, some tropical. Nice medium weight, fruity and floral flavors, tiny dank and earthy notes. Comes together quite nicely.

I tried this beer on tap at the Beer Hunter in La Quinta, CA. It poured a clear golden with white head that left a spotty lace. The scent had touches of citrus and pine. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent IPA.

Look - hazy brownish copper color with a slight head and skimming
Smell - grapefruit and maybe some tangerine along with a little rye spice
Taste - rye spice with a slight grapefruit/tangerine hopness
Feel - medium to a medium light body and carbonation
Overall - great rye IPA. I don't know where the double goes, if not under double the ryeness they need to remove because this isn't no double IPA.

something seems off with this IPA - I tried it a couple of times (bottles) and found the same experience - a bit funky - many better options, particularly at the price point
