This Double IPA is part of our exploration series. Too often, we become complacent and forget to push the boundaries and search the unending hop combinations to find a stroke of genius. Time to get back to class! This version features Citra and a large addition of Mega Motueka from Freestyle Hops.

Overall: This one drinks with strong and juicy pineapple, tropical papaya, melon, and sweet lime and mango flavors. I really like the Moteuka hop here. First try at an IPA from Mortalis and paid a heavy penny, but great first impression here. Always fortunate when I get to try some great haze from out east that is halfway fresh. I'll have to try more from these guys. (Rating: 4.28)
