The mountain bike trails at Alum Creek were built in two phases. The first evolved out of an old-school rooty network of fishing trails. Phase 2 was designed from the ground up as a sustainable 6-mile ribbon of single track … Nocterra’s backyard ripper.
Our West-Coast style IPA leads with orange & apricot aromas. It’s lightly dank with citrus notes & a pleasant resinous bitterness.
Phase 2 rolls across your tastebuds & isn’t afraid to send it.

This beer pours a golden hue and is hazy. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves little lacing.

Medicinal and citrus aroma. Hints of resin

Medicinal flavor. Citrus and pine in the finish

Medium bodied with a biting mouthfeel

It's aiight. Too medicinal for me

Pours a deep gold, light head, moderate lacing. Smells woodsy, pine needles and grass. Upon the tongue, sharp yet grainy, lots of bite, a touch of orange peel. The feel is unique, the malts are still in play here, but the hops hold. The chewy feel of the Simcoe comes through in the finish. Solid beer

Description: Appearance is light gold and slightly cloudy with no real head. Aroma is more sweet than bitter/piney with notes of mango and grapefruit. Aroma is pretty large and effervescent. Dankness from the aroma carries over into the taste, but there's definitely more bitterness. Grapefruit and melon are prominent. Body and carbonation are both medium with a dry finish.

Overall: 4 (This beer is good and I may or may not drink it again) A solid offering showing some depth and complexity of flavor. Another good option from Nocterra.

I got a 6pck of this beer from the brewery. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank ripe fruit presence. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with ripe slightly bitter citrus. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.
