Gridlock is a debut Hazy IPA offering a tropical traffic jam of flavor, the byproduct of heavy whirlpool additions of Amarillo and Citra. Flaked oats headline a multifaceted malt bill engineered to produce a smooth, full-bodied brew — bumper-to-bumper deliciousness.

12oz can. Bottom stamp is 'Packaged On 087 03/28/25 11:04'.
Cloudy, deep gold colored body. Two fingers of white head, but this collapses quickly to a rocky cap. Leaves behind torn sheets of lacing.
Aroma is citrus orange, lemon, pine, and toasted malt.
Taste has flavors of orange, lemon, pine, grapefruit, and toasted malt. Not much in the aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel. Soft texture. Excellent carbonation.
Shows some age in the can. Moderate in all aspects, except for its appearance and lacing.

Yellow in color with a hazy complexion. There’s a fingernail of eggshell white on top. Heavy lacing on the glass. The aroma is of orange juice and green onions. I’m tasting green onions and citrus. The mouth is exceptionally smooth and thirst quenching.
