was everyone's favorite pick for our first project together with New Jersey’s @theseedbeer.
Seeds are often used as symbols of hope and resilience. From the moment the seed enters the ground until harvest, meeting a plant's needs in a steady state is an important factor for survival and vitality. These factors help it reach the 'equilibrium' growth stage where it can follow a healthy and productive “balanced growth” trajectory, constantly growing with the odds in its favor against any difficulty that may pop into its path.
Balanced Growth (IPA) starts off with a flaked wheat and torrefied wheat malt bill, an Idaho 7 whirlpool, and a HBC586 and Motueka dry hop. Flavors of Alphonso mango salad, assorted citrus, and lemon lime spritz

Can is dated sometime in October of 2023 (can't make it out entirely); consumed on 11-22-23.
A: Poured into a Tree House tulip; body is orangey-golden with a half-finger of white head that settles fast.
S: Nice nose of tropical fruit and citrus, with a touch of sweeter stuff coming through (think ripe melon or even brown sugar).
T: Lots of tropical fruit - pineapple, limes, plus white grape skins and some citrus (think grapefruit or grapefruit peel/pith). Somewhat unique taste profile.
M: A bit thin; doesn't feel like a hazy, NEIPA at all. Call it lighter-side of medium in heft/weight.
O: Solid. Drinks pretty light/easy.
