Cutting Tiles is an exploratory series of double IPA's featuring a range of aromatic single hop varietals brewed with raw wildflower honey. This familiar first version, formally known as Artaic, is dosed with 100% Galaxy in all kettle, whirlpool and two massive dry hop additions. The local wildflower honey keeps the body light and drinkable but provides a floral, earthy backbone. Juicy, candied peach and nectarine up front backed up with a nuanced white wine on the nose that continues straight through in the flavor profile. Pillowy soft mouthfeel, with a restrained bitterness on the finish. New variants to follow!

MALT: Pilsner, White Wheat, Flaked Wheat, Dextrine, C-15

HOPS: Galaxy

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy cream white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.

S: Juicy tropical and stone fruit, ripe citrus, floral notes, a touch grassy and earthy, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

T: Ripe tropical and stone fruit, peach, apricot, guava, mango, passion fruit, and hints of white grape, juicy citrus, orange and a touch of lime, underlying grassy earthy notes, a bit floral, biscuity malt, and caramel honey sweetness.

M: A little on the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.

O: This can managed to hide in my fridge for a few weeks but I'd say it's held up just fine. Gives the full Galaxy experience with a fun twist of wildflower honey. If I ever see this one again I'll have to snap it up and see how much better it is super fresh.

Maybe a bad batch but the flavors were super muted and didn't pop like a normal trill beer.
