Collaboration with Wren House Brewing Company.

We wandered into the desert with our friends at Wren House and came out the other side with another mash up collaboration! We took each our GABF Gold Medal winning beers(Spellbinder and Art is Hard) and cranked them up three times to bring you "Wren Park" TDH Hazy TIPA with Cascade, Citra Incognito, Citra Cryo, Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Motueka. We are getting copious notes of red strawberry, juicy orange, tropical pineapple and perfectly ripe blueberries. These delicious flavors are creating the perfect oasis for your tastebuds to kick back, relax and enjoy our latest hazy brew. We are so stoked at how this one turned and super grateful that we were finally able to make some beer with our friends in Phoenix!

Grabbed a 4-pack of this beer to split with Sonny and Kevin. I love North Park and Wren House is pretty damn good too so was looking forward to this collab. North Park’s website called this “We wandered into the desert with our friends at Wren House and came out the other side with another mash up collaboration!

Gave North Park’s Art is Hard a 4.06 and Wren Park’s Spellbinder a 4.35.

Poured a light golden hazy color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy off-white head. Could see just a few bubbles creeping up along the sides of the glass. World-class spiderweb foamy lacing. World-class foamy retention. (Sight - 4.50)

Smelled Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Cascade for the hops. Also mango, mixed berry, passion fruit, pineapple, floral, orange, tangerine, peach and papaya. Even better out of the can. (Smell - 4.25)

Tasted a little better than the nose. First thing I noticed was how smooth it was for 10 pct. ABV. In order got Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, mango, mixed berry, passion fruit, pineapple, floral, grapefruit, Cascade, orange, tangerine, peach, papaya and hints of peppery spice. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average-to-soft carbonation. Long, smooth finish. (Feel - 4.50)

Another wonderful hazy IPA (in this case a hazy TIPA) by North Park. Grew on me each sip. (Overall - 4.50)
