Brewed with 3 varieties of Australian hops and a pile of oats, this double dry hopped brew has big notes of tropical fruit, citrus, stone fruits and pine. It’s medium bodied, has restrained bitterness and a smooth delivery - and some haze too.

Less of a New England Hazy but just excellent body and tropical fruit and pine with an underlying long lasting lemon biscuit tone that really makes it interesting. Great beer that is uniquely delicious!

"Maiden Voyage"

Appearance - Pours a hazy peach with three fingers of frothy white head that leaves some puffy looking lace on the glass.

Smell - citrus and tropical hops, peach, citrus and orange peel, nectarine, bready malts, and earthy yeast.

Taste - citrus and tropical hops upfront. The peach, citrus and orange peel, and nectarine come through next. The bready malts and earthy yeast finish the brew off.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the hops and tropical citrus and stone fruits of peach and nectarine lingering.

Overall - A superb second offering from this new brewery in Drumheller. The hops and stone fruits come through very nicely and is easily crushable on this mild final evening of summer here in Cowtown!
