For our latest collab, we put our heads together with our good buds from Widowmaker Brewing to bring you our latest TDH Hazy DIPA "Brain Park" hopped with Citra Incognito, Citra, Freestyle Nelson and Freestyle Rakau. This mind numbing, psyche melting brew is dripping with thick mango, juicy peach, pulpy orange and ripe red strawberry tasting notes. We can't say for sure but this one is guaranteed to probably definitely increase your IQ with every sip, maybe even help you move objects with your mind. Yeah, it's that good!

Snuck over to North Park for a last hurrah before my wife and daughter got back from vacation.

Poured a bright golden hazy color with 1-to-2 fingers of frothy off-white head when I got it. Calm setting underneath the head. World-class spiderweb foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled Nelson, tangerine, gooseberry, Citra, pineapple, peach, stone fruit, pulpy orange juice, grapefruit rind, mango, nectarine and hints of plum. (Smell - 4.50)
Tasted almost as good as the nose. In order got Nelson, tangerine, orange pulp, peach, pineapple, grapefruit peel, Citra, nectarine, gooseberry, stone fruit, mango, hints of plum and lingering peppery spice. (Taste - 4.25)
Medium body. Soft, creamy texture. Lively carbonation. Long, juicy finish. (Feel - 4.50)
Just another banger from North Park. Awesome. (Overall - 4.50)

Sweet tropical hoppy, orange-tangerine citrus, and Nelson-dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a beautifully balanced, hoppy and orange-grapefruit citrus bitter finish. Great use of Citra and Nelson here...they worked great together. The Rakau seemed to take a back seat in this one IMO...which is a good thing! I mean...this is just unbelievably good right out the gate! North Park is so dialed in right now with their TDH brews!!! The hoppy bitter bite lingers just enough to let you know it's there...not overpowering at all! Wow!
