Double Dry Hopped Murky IPA w/ Simcoe, Mosaic, and Galaxy Hops.

Clear skies and Murky IPAs - a fantastic combination. This beer is a remix of the original recipe of Moonlight Summit, but with DOUBLE the amount of dry hops added for a mega-burst of flavor. A super smooth, stone-fruit forward, juicy and crushable brew. Equally delicious whether you enjoy this one at the apex of your hike, or save it for a treat afterwards. Pack it in, pack it out!

Picked these up along the Trips on Dubs on a recent trip to Pure Project with the girls gone. Online description called it a “Double Dry Hopped Murky IPA w/ Simcoe, Mosaic, and Galaxy hops.” Longer description read, “Clear skies and Murky IPAs - a fantastic combination. This beer is a remix of the original recipe of Moonlight Summit, but with DOUBLE the amount of dry hops added for a mega-burst of flavor. A super smooth, stone-fruit forward, juicy and crushable brew. Equally delicious whether you enjoy this one at the apex of your hike, or save it for a treat afterwards. Pack it in, pack it out!”

Poured a medium yellow-to-golden murky color with four fingers of rocky white head. Could not see any bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Almost perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. World-class retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled Mosaic, Galaxy, light Simcoe, orange creamsicle, peach, nectarine, stone fruit, tangerine rind, passion fruit, grapefruit, herbal and grass. More hops in the can than the glass. (Smell - 4.00)

Taste was about as good as the nose. In order got Galaxy, Mosaic, Simcoe, peach, nectarine, stone fruit, orange blossom, tangerine rind, grapefruit, herbal, grass, leafy green and earthy malt. Grew on me each sip. (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, dry finish. Really good mouthfeel. (Feel - 4.50)

Outstanding overall, but a little disappointed. Was hoping for more. Probably overrated this a bit. I might hold one of these to see if it gets better. Five days old might have been too soon to have this. (Overall - 4.00)

Subdued sweet orange citrus aromatics on this one. The taste follows with a well-balanced orange citrus bitterness. Great mouthfeel for a single! Good stuff.
