Bru-1, Citra, Simcoe DIPA - We pulled three of our favorite hops out of a bag for this hazy DIPA! Everyone knows Citra and Simcoe, but what about BRU-1? It brings a bright citrus and pineapple aromatics that provide a little magic with two of our favorite varieties! Think of this as a bigger version of Magician’s Hat Trick: bigger alcohol, bigger mouthfeel, bigger hop aroma!

Draft pour into a stemless (chardonnay-like) wine glass at the brewery.
L: Pale yellow, opaque hazy, 1/2 inch white head, foam is thick with medium retention, leaves specks of lace.
S: Robust nose, mango, tropical and citrus hop aromas.
T: Balanced to hop but not overly so, similar to nose, tropical hops, juicy mango and stone fruit flavor, a modicum of flour-like pale malt flavor providing backbone and some balance.
F : Soft pillowy medium-weight body, low-ish carbonation, light prickly finish, becomes more creamy later in the glass.
O: Really good double, big mango flavor, alcohol is well hidden, very drinkable.
