SPORE is a hazy india pale ale constructed of base malts plus copious amounts of wheat and oats to create cumulonimbus like mouthfeel and body. Hopped heavily across the board (including 2 dry hops - DDH, bro…) with Citra, Nelson, Chinook and Sabro SPOREs hops are explosive on the pallet and in the aroma. Citra, Nelson, and Chinook lay down fruity pebbles, nectarine, and guava aromatics layered in with some Coconut from the Sabro. The final product feels like drinking a tropical drink on an island BUT you’re probably just chillin’ on your couch man…

Went over to Windmill Farms from work and ended up once again spending way too much on beer. This one intrigued me as I have liked most of what I’ve had from There Does Not Exist. Untappd’s description was “SPORE is a hazy India Pale Ale constructed of base malts plus copious amounts of wheat and oats to create cumulonimbus like mouthfeel and body.

Poured a light golden hazy color with three fingers of rocky white head. Could see just a few bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class uneven foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled orange rind, tangerine, pineapple, Citra, grapefruit peel, Nelson, coconut, herbal, melon, Sabro, woody Chinook, pine, cedar, mint, grass and lingering peppery spice. Better out of the can with Citra and Sabro leading the way, and some peach and stone fruit coming in. (Smell - 4.00)
Tasted about as good as the nose. In order got Citra and Nelson up front, Sabro in the middle and lingering Chinook. Specifically orange rind, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit peel, mango, peach, stone fruit, coconut, woody pine, herbal, melon, mint, grass and lingering black peppery spice. (Taste - 3.75)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Lively carbonation. Long, citrusy finish. (Feel - 3.75)
This was very good overall. Not quite as good as I’d want it with those four hops, but still very good. (Overall - 4.00)
