Our Cold IPA, that clocked in at a whopping 100 point score on @craftbeerbrew IPA’s reviews, and also won a recent bronze at the World Beer Cup 2024 is back! What the heck is a Cold IPA? Well, for us it’s an IPA mashed with 30% rice to help lighten up the body and color and then fermented with lager yeast. On the palate, this thing is very much like our clear and bitter California IPAs, and we really dig it! The color is very pale, with a firm bitterness, and a sticky resin quality that is all fresh douglas fir, and super hoppy aromatics of blueberry muffins and strawberries.

The brewer describes this as a Cold IPA with Mosaic, Ekuanot, and Amarillo hops. Pours a clear golden amber with plenty of foam in the New Belgium snifter. Modest carbonation but quite tangy. Just a hint of malt and then it's all citrus peel. Persistent taste of grapefruit peel, but less bitter than some of the citrus Overlords. Really quite drinkable with the fruit in every sip and that warm alcohol taste. From the 32 oz crowler can filled at the Costa Mesa brewery tap.
