Bob and Murph, our very own dufflebag boys, have been jonesing to showcase their new favorite hop. We backed up a Brinks truck of Cashmere hops and balanced it with a non-sequential, unmarked grainbill. A beer for new grills, new whips and being investigated by the IRA. Don't be surprised if they ask where the cash at.

They really brought out the cashmere hops with this one. Best fresh off the tap!

L: drops hazy, murky, milkshakey gold under a 2" creamy foam cap the color of unbleached linen
S: citrus, melon, spicy woody notes and a dash of ditchweed
T: mildly sweet but gets dry, faintly astringent and almost puckeringly tart on the finish. Tropical fruit, fruit, melon, citrus, and woody spice drive the flavors tempered by low levels of lactose and vanilla
F: medium full bodied beer is very creamy with medium carbonation
O: This full flavored beer earns points for repeatability

Cash only, homie. A reference? Perhaps we shall never know. No moss on the can, just an eye. Or the Illuminati. 16 oz. can.
The pour is lemon peel yellow with a double handful of random floaties. The nose is more like wool, with lemon, citrus, melon, & anagrams, but light on all four.
I paid for Cash Only with a debit card, which heightens the irony, & I can’t find a point in that stupid phrase. Strong passion fruit & cantaloupe is all over this nor’easter, with a straight arm of hard bitterness backing to make sure you know this is an IPA & not a northeast daiquiri. Pulpy. Not tough to drink.
Not their best work, but still a good, solid IPA.

White head. Lace. Golden sunset color.
Pineapple, mango, coconut. Very tropical and fruity. Very interesting hop profile going on. Hard to pick out the flavors. Earthy with a little bit of booze showing in the finish. Another nice offering.

This beer pours a hazy yellow with a large head. The aroma features notes of papaya, strawberry, pineapple rind, cantaloupe, and orange peel. The flavor is replete with strawberry and cantaloupe flash, with a bit of crisp lemon peel, and orange peel, and a hint of green leafiness. The mouthfeel offers a medium body with bright, prickly carbonation. Overall this is a quite excellent beer, with truly fun flavors.

Pours a cloudy dull lemon color with a thin white head. Smell had some tangerine ,melon and lemon grass. Taste was more fruity with tropical hops of citrus mixed with melon,peach and a citrus lemon/lime and herbal dankness. Mouth feel was soft with medium low carbonation, a candy sweetness with low bitterness. A different IPA from Blackstack

Poured from 16oz can into glass. Released to retail bottle shops on 8/27/2018.
Cloudy, pale gold (with a dark tint) colored body. First pour results in a four finger white head. Once subsided, subsequent pours brought this down to a fluffy half finger head. Left behind, especially on the sipping side, are sheets of lacing.
Very smooth in the aroma and taste.
Aroma is coconut and melon.
Taste is coconut and melon, with an aspect of citrus lemon/lime, but very low key bitterness.
Soft, comforting mouth feel. Good carbonation but does not figure into the mouth feel.
A very minimal bitterness beer, with a strikingly different aroma and taste when compared to recently released Blackstack IPAs. This one is so soft, and full of sweetness from coconut and melon. Very inviting from sip to sip.
