Our collaboration with RaR Brewing is a fruited Double IPA. Barley, malted wheat, and flaked oats create a soft and hazy beer conditioned on peach and blood orange. Dry-hopped with Bru-1, Idaho 7, and Citra Cryo!

High Pressure Situation, a collaboration with RAR Brewing, was released in July 2019 only at the SoPro Taproom on draft and in pint can 4-pks. Had poured from pint can, bottom stamped (apparently) canned on “07/11/19,” into nonic pint.

From the can, pours gold with clarity until the fruit dumps from the bottom, then a gold murky, chunky mess, but pours a bit hazy without fruit on draft, with 1/2-finger near-white head, which dissipates to a persistent film, leaving a little sketchy lace. Big piney West Coast aroma to start, then pineapple, citrus rind and dank aromas join to the finish. On tasting, carbonation delivers pine resin up front, over a lactose sweet and smooth body, and the peach and blood orange bring up the back, for a balanced finish.

Pouring HPF from a rested pint can, I got golden clarity and pine resin aroma like a West Coast IPA, and then the peach and blood orange dumped. This ends up one ugly beer, which (if you don’t look) drinks like a big West Coast IPA, but with enough fruit—especially peach—and lactose to slow down the incineration.
