"I was looking to pick the best of what the Southern Hemisphere has to offer and combine that into a bowl filled with exotic tropical fruit,” says Mcilhenney. “With an assertive citrus background and restrained-but-present hints of diesel and cannabis, I feel like we have a go-to summertime IPA.”

Imagine Jennifer Connelly. Like, imagine her. We’re good, right? Thats all you need. This beer is almost like said hottie. But l because of the unnecessary edition of cryo hops, it’s like imagining Jennifer Connolly, but she’s wearing true religion jeans and an Ed hardy shirt. Like, wtf?

From Bine and Vine. Canned August 14th 2025.
It pours a clear paleish gold with a finger head of foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is big notes of pine and citrus, tropical fruit, and rather dank. Toasted malt peeks through, barely.
The taste is grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit and dankness, some pine, toasted malt. Very tasty.
Medium bodied with excellent level of carbonation, I would drink this again.
