Step Dad Chaperone is an 8.5% Double IPA hopped exclusively and intensely with 100% Mosaic hops. This one turned out incredible! One of our favorite single hop DIPAs to date. Notes of peach, tangerine, papaya, subtle dankness, melon, and juicy as all get out! We're super amped on this one and hope y'all are too.

Poured a cloudy orange-gold body with one-finger head that slowly died. Smooth body, a little fluffy, this beer hit me with notes of orange peel, pink grapefruit and papaya and seemed to have a floral citric zip on the finish and great balance.

Overall: 8.5% abv. Nice blend of tropical fruit flavors with pine resin and spice. Sweeter tropical as she warms. Really good brew. This brew got me thinking of my late stepdad, a diesel mechanic, who once told me "Just because you got it in, don't mean you got it in right." Not what I wanted to hear after working all day on the Winnebago LeSharo lol. But he ended up fixing it right. Great times! I enjoyed this brew paired with Walk of Life by Dire Straits.

Nice berry and light cantaloupe hoppy aroma and flavor; fairly tropical. Nice balance with light bitterness. Medium bodied and fairly smooth.

Picked up a four pack of cans at Curtis Liquors in Cohasset, Massachusetts for about eighteen dollars. My first brew from these guys. Canned on date of 10/4/24. Solid.
