Headroom is about pushing boundaries. From its first batch brewed on Congress St. in 2015 to today, Headroom stands as a landmark, watershed beer in terms of our evolution as a brewery. Conceptually, we sought to create our boldest, most daring, hoppiest beer we could possibly dream up. Our ability to conceive and brew new Double Dry Hopped Double and Triple IPAs is born out of our foundational experience brewing Headroom. Remaining our hoppiest beer, laden with over 8 pounds per barrel of Galaxy and Mosaic Hops, Headroom represents a yearly look back at our past, a reflection on our present, and a glance into our future.
This years batch displays huge aromas of pressed orange, lemon zest, and papaya with a burst of fresh grassy hops. Rich flavors of candied peach and orange peel lead the palate with supporting notes of pithy red grapefruit, ripe pineapple, white table grapes, and mango smoothies. As with previous years, Headroom is balanced with a full, rounded mouthfeel and a soft, creamy finish.
MALT: Pale Malt, White Wheat, Flaked Wheat, Cara-Pils
HOPS: Mosaic, Galaxy, CTZ

It pours very cloudy yellow with a slighty off white head. Head retention is very good. It has fruity flavors that feature berries and strawberry. It also has a resinous quality and is sweet.

Look - love the bright orangish yellow milky look with great rimming and lacing
Smell and taste - pretty green with a tropicalness
Feel - medium full body with a slight carb
Overall - a little to green but still great

Pours opaque yellow gold with a off white 2 finger silky head. Aroma is amazing with pungent, sweet orange and papaya notes. The taste is just as great, a little more on the tart than sweet side, but a nice balance between the two. Orange pith, rich papaya, tart grapefruit all up front with a lingering bitterness that processes more sophistication than a typical.juice bomb. Mouthfeel is very soft and cushiony, with a moderate tartness that grows into the finish. I can see why this is rated so high, and I agree.
Side note - this reminds me a little of Bissell's old Reciprocal recipe. Was my all around favorite until they changed the recipe. Makes me happy :)
