Collaboration with Crux Fermentation Project

We got together with our friends over at Crux Fermentation Project & set out to brew a pineapple bomb disguised as a Hazy Triple IPA. The recipe starts with a blend of malts from both Idaho & Oregon, oats, and red wheat for an extra thick and creamy body, and a smooth finish. Utilizing hops that were introduced to us during this project, we went with massive amounts of Mosaic, Bru-1, and HBC-586 hops for one big tropical explosion - with pineapple being the dominant fruit.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy orange pour, patchy white head. Pineapple, zesty, hoppy aroma. Taste is sweet and fruity, but with a potent citric blast that singes the nostrils. Juicy, finishes with pizzazz.

16oz can poured into a pub nonic; pure sunset golden haze with a small off-white head. A warm, tropical full-bodied triple IPA that hides the alcohol well. There is a huge amount of pineapple and juicy lychee flavors as well as other green fruit and lots of sweeter malt character without being cloying. Even as it warms, the alcohol is subdued. This tropical beast is balanced for a brew this big.
