Our Quest for perfect fresh-hop Vibe continues, this time with our dear friend and Sunnyland neighbor Ben at Otherlands Beer along for the ride. Vibe Quest is a west coast IPA with 350 pounds of the freshest possible Citra and Centennial picked right at the kick-off at Roy Farms’ harvest season in the Yakima Valley. The Roy family have been growing hops in Yakima for over 100 years and their expertise is reflected in the hops’ complexity. Firmly bitter with massive grapefruit, pine and sticky resin exploding aggressively enough to be considered obnoxious. Enjoy it while you can.

16oz can purchased at Huckleberry's, in Spokane, WA, for $5.99. A canning date was stamped on the bottom of the can, but besides the year (2023), it is not legible.
Poured into an imperial can glass, this was a murky orange color, with a relatively small off-white head. Spotty lace.
Big, juicy nose. The aroma reminds me of the juice of tropical fruits and stone fruits such as peaches.
The taste is similar to the nose, except on the back end, where things become very bitter and astringent in a manner not foretold in the nose.
Medium bodied, with a slightly oily mouth feel.
This had promise at first, but the astringency on the back end is difficult to overcome. I don't think I'll need another one of these.
