We’ve teamed up again with our OC friends, Everywhere Beer, to bring you Return to the Mirage murky double IPA: A remix of our 2024 collab, We Are the Mirage! Brewed with Southern Cross and Nelson Hop Kief from New Zealand’s Freestyle Hops and Mosaic from Jackson Farms in Idaho, Return to the Mirage delivers flavors of pineapple, lemon, diesel, and apricot. In the haze where bright fruit and dankness entwine, the mirage reveals itself once more.

On draft at Wise Guys Pizzeria (Yorba Linda, CA)11/5/25. Beautiful beer, although it looks more like it would be classified as a New England IPA. Opaque but without visible solids. Nice white, tight head of good duration. Leaves fair amount of lacing, Despite my poor sense of smell, this one was intensely fruity; a mix of tropical fruits (pineapple dominates) and some stone fruit (apricot?) Taste totally in line with the smell. The 8.5% ABV is certainly well hidden in the flavor and mouthfeeI. would say the experience is quite well in line with the brewer's description, although I think I would have to use my imagination to get the "diesel" and I am not picking up much, if any of the claimed "dankness". This is the Imperial IPA for hazy lovers.
