Pacific Specific (Full Moon Edition)
BKS Artisan Ales

(review from November 2025) Another well balanced PS variant from BKS with good mouthfeel; thick haze; medium hoppiness; an earthy/herbalish/hard-to-pin-down/dirt-eatin-but-in-a-good-way/tropical/vegetal-sorta? flavor & a clean, quick-fading finish. Still very quaffable though...

Pours a pale yellow-orange with an opaque translucency. Head is a couple fingers of white foam. Aroma is dripping with tropical fruits by way of tangerine, pineapple, mango, and passionfruit. A little orange zest adds a little further dip into citrus notes. Flavor profile is pineapple, tangerine, passionfruit, lemon zest, orange rind, and mango. Really deep tropical fruit throughout. Doughy malts pop through late, but they are sparse. Mouth feel is medium in thickness. Texture is creamy with a very mild silt to it. Overall, an incredibly dense and full tropical fruit focused IPA.

Served in a 15.5oz Spiegelau tulip from a 16oz can.
