A complex grist with a large amount of oats and wheat forms the base of this beer. Fermented with London Fog yeast for a pillowy mouthfeel and using the ever-popular hop, Citra®. Brewed with 3 different hop products; Incognito, BBC and Cryo, this beer uses the best hops and techniques the market has to offer. Hoppy, citrussy and full-bodied.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and citruzs/tropical hops, with notes of orange, grapefruit and mango, as well as just a hint of dank weed. Taste is an excellent balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, dank hops, with citrus and tropical notes of orange, grapefruit, mango and papaya, as well as hints of grassy weed. Finishes with a light bitterness and some orange, mango and weed lingering in the aftertaste. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

I can always enjoy an IPA single-hopped with Citra, which is a great variety that comes through very vibrant and expressive here, with all of its different facets standing out beautifully, with some zesty citrus, sweet tropical and lighter, dank, weedy notes. The depth of both flavor and mouthfeel is quite impressive here for the ABV, making for a very enjoyable example of the style that really goes down a treat. I will definitely be on the lookout for more stuff from Vocation as the TIPA I recently had by them was excellent as well.
