An East Coast Style IPA, brewed traditionally but aged on Harney & Sons Organic Passion Plum Tea. Tea aged IPAs are a staple in the brewery, but as a special for HV Craft Beer Week, we wanted to highlight farm fresh apricots in this already unique and complex ale.

Local Producer: Harney & Sons in Millerton for the tea. Apricots from a Hudson Valley Farm. Cascade and Centennial hops from Hudson Valley Hops

Pours a hazy apple-juice orange with little to no head. Faint grainy aroma and taste. On the bitter side with a thinish mouthfeel and a bit of a lingering aftertaste.

Hazy orange apricot with a silky head. Smells of plum, fleshy apricot, herbal hops. Taste is slightly spicy, strong bitterness. Citrus fruit, passionfruit ride on top of grainy and toasted malt. Good first impressions, but lacks continuity throughout. Long, bitter aftertaste.
