Double IPA version of our Hazing Face Pale Ale fermented with Norwegian Kveik yeast. Heavily hopped and dry-hopped with Galaxy hops and double dry hopped it with Sabro hops, it’s delightfully tropical with refreshing notes of tangerine - perfect for your hot summer daze.

There doesn't seem to be a date listed on the can.
Appearance: The body is a gelatin orange and gold color with complete opacity. It has an oversized head that is slightly off-white with a very frothy, rocky, and whipped appearance. It has exceptional retention and leaves thick lace on the glass.
Aroma: When pouring there is a very fresh, green, hop aroma. Closer to the nose it has a strong tangerine and grapefruit aroma. The fresh hop aroma is very enticing.
Taste: Up front it has a strong flavor of powdered sugar and gummy peach rings. There is a light bit of grapefruit pith in the middle with just a very light hint of freshly cut grass. The back of the palate is grapefruit with a touch of tangerine and just the slightest hint of alcohol. The aftertaste is powdered sugar and grapefruit pith.
Mouthfeel: It is medium bodied with carbonation that fits perfectly. There is very little hop bitterness that only comes across as orange pulp or grapefruit pulp. The can states that this is "8.5% ABV" and it does an exceptional job of hiding that alcohol for the most part, which greatly increases drinkability. There is a light touch of hop raspiness but nothing that constitutes hop burn, which is notable because it manages to give the beer a little bit of texture without impeding drinkability.
Overall: It's a solid beer by Benchtop. The can states that this is "MADE WITH BARLEY MALT WHITE WHEAT MALT FLAKED WHEAT FLAKED OATS SABRO HOPS GALAXY HOPS CITRA HOPS." The title "SUH BRO" seems to be a play on the Sabro hops in the beer. In the past that hop variety has come across as ant-like and peppery but in this beer the combined flavors are full of citrus with powdered sugar and peach gummy rings. I thoroughly enjoyed the beer and I would definitely drink it again. I would highly recommend it.

This one pours a hazy orange color, with a small head and lots of lacing.
This smells like herbal hops, mango, grapefruit, and orange creamsicle.
This is really well done, with a dank and juicy hop character. There’s a slightly herbal and peppery bitterness, with lots of mango and orange as well.
This is juicy and really drinkable, with a nice crisp finish.
This was really quite nice - and a great introduction to this brewery.
