This is a beer for settling differences like reasonable adults: with a game of Tug Of War. We've teamed up with Casper's and Runyon's Nook to yank our way to victory at WCCO's Pulling Together Event, and we made a beer for the occasion. It pairs as well with championship celebrations as it does with delicious burgers. Mosaic, El Dorado and Ekuanot went into this one, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the autism and early childhood programs at Fraser.

Poured from 16oz can into glass. No canning date information found.
Murky, pale gold colored body. Skimpy off white head, which dissipates to skiffs and ring. Leaves behind some spotty patterns of lacing.
Big aroma of melon, mango, papaya, and citrus. Lots of hop aromas in the glass.
Taste goes toward the citrus, melon, papaya, and mango. End introduces some drier, citrus bitterness, but this is subdued. Some hop burn introduced to the back of the tongue and throat.
Medium mouth feel, with the hops inducing a fuller, coating feeling in the throat. Good carbonation.
Overall experience is of a highly hopped beer that is fruity (but not overly sweet), murky in appearance, and lacking in real bitterness. Mouth feel is soft but not completely pillowy. Prone to extreme quaffing. Comparable to the best from Lupulin and old Disgruntled (with Brett). At the top of BlackStack's brews for this style of IPA.

If you are into juice and hop bombs (NEIPA), this is perhaps one of the finest. Don’t buy any of it and leave the rest for me. Citrus, mango, papaya, melon, and a nice hop finish make this an absolute masterpiece. The mouthfeel is pure silk and it pours an amazing straw haze. This might be the best DDH IPA I have ever had.

A combination of 3 hop varieties. It pours a hazy straw golden color with a fresh white head. Smell is fruity with berry,citrus ,and papaya. Taste delicious notes of citrus,melon,papaya and some lemon/lime spicy hints then sweet malts in the finish with a slight pine sapaddition. Mouth feel was juicy and soft with fruity hops some lime pepper and pine notes. If you like Wavy,DDH 755,Dad Jokes you will like this one.
