It's been a long day shredding pow on the mountain, time to hit the lodge for some juice! This double IPA dusts the peach and pineapple notes of an expressive yeast strain atop a mountain of the tropical, citrus rich hop flavors of El Dorado, Talus, HBC 586 & Citra hops. Wrap your palate in this cloud-soft blanket of hazy goodness, and let your soul thaw out. After ski hop burps are truly the best.

On tap at Big Sur Taphouse. (Love this place).
Straw to gold in hue. Dreamy, pillow-like head. Great retention, fluffy lacing.
Smell is bright and tropical: mango, guava, pineapple with orange undertones.
Flavor carries all of the above but leaves room for some additional smooth pops of peach and apricot with a background of grass. All of this delivered on a smooth biscuity malt base.

16oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left think rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, guava, orange and sweet caramel. Great tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

Guest tap at Green Cheek in Costa Mesa, CA.
This one is just straight bomb like The Memphis Belle painted on the side of a B-17. Huge, ripe tropical fruits and melon on the nose like snorting some stuff in Tahiti. Beautiful smooth and creamy backbone like J-Lo scooping you some ice cream. Damn, it’s dreamy.
Ready? Let’s go.

Hopres Sku pours a murky, golden orange with one finger width of head that quickly dissipates leaving with no lacing. The smell is lots of tropical fruit; pineapple, a hint of peach thanks to the collection of hops. Taste is quick flash of tropical fruit sweetness erased by a bitterness but do catch some citrus flavors with some grassy notes.
