One furtive sniff and you will be enveloped in intrigue and drawn to adventure. Undisclosed amounts of Mosaic and Simcoe hops, in both T90 and Cryo form, were added in multiple clandestine waves. We can report an ever changing sea of blueberry, nectarine, passion fruit, pine and lime zest flavors stretching beyond the horizon and beyond the imagination. Are you up for a stealth mission? The power and beauty of pure hop expression can be your sublime reward at journey’s end!

Can poured into an Alvarado Street Brewery Willi Beecher glass
A: Pours slightly hazy golden amber with a frothy eggshell white head that settles to a firm layer and laces very nicely.
S: Pine, citrus, earthy herbal notes, blueberry, a little tropical and stone fruit, faint floral notes, slightly toasty biscuity bready malt, and a touch of caramel sweetness
T: Resinous herbal pine, citrus zest, lime, lemon, and grapefruit, blueberry, underlying tropical and stone fruit, passion fruit, mango, nectarine, guava, and a hint of pineapple, floral notes, a faint of bubble gum, slightly toasty biscuity bready malt, and just a little caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, crisp yet a bit chewy.
O: Solid modern West Coast IPA, but I think a slight lighter malt bill would make it pop a bit more.

Pours a semi clear yellow with fine, soapy head.
Smell is light, fruity and citrusy with notes of melon, spruce and pine.
Taste is crisp and a bit dank, with notes of melon, citrus, pine and a hint of jelly candy. Moderate bitterness, dry finish.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
Overall, a nice, modern, easy to drink IPA.
