Mysterious and cloudy as the garúa fog of coastal Peru, this juicy New England style IPA explodes with mouthwatering El Dorado and Bru-1 hops. Bright, tropical notes of pineapple, melon and stonefruit beckon you to cast off and embark on a new adventure in hops!

A cloudy copper and golden color, lots of life, with a sticky white and Lacy foam, rises high and drops very slow.
The aromatics are a bit odd for this style. Effervescent grains, sweet red fruits, sweet tart candies, pineapple and very floral. The hop mix here sure has an interesting nose.
The mouth feel starts out crisp, levels off fast and is pretty thin, yet juicy in the finish.
The taste is all hop fruitiness, but a bit odd...with bright red fruits, tropical melon, carrot juice and white grapes. Smooth vanilla sweetness and slickness goes on &on. The mix of El Dorado and Bru-1 hops creates a bright and juicy pallet for sure. Gone is any hint of earthiness, bitterness or the "green" side of the hops. The malt flavor is seriously light, leaving little balance but allowing these hops to totally dominate.
Odd, unique, weird but kinda charming.

Discovered this recently, this is going to drink so well once summer finally shows up.
