Backcountry is a double dry hopped double New England IPA hopped with Vic Secret and Citra.
Extremely smooth from start to finish with a flavor profile of mixed tropical fruit, light tangerine, and a bit of dank right on the end.

16oz canned 12-29-25, opened 2-22-26.
2 finger white head with excellent retention and thick, sticky early lacing.
Orange gold and fully opaque body. Excellent looking NEIPA.
Sweet orange and grapefruit aromas mingle with topical notes like some sweaty passionfruit.
Citrus, tropical, and pine on a creamy malt base.
Full body, creamy and lush mouthfeel. Low but noticable and persistent bitterness. Juicy, mid-length finish that is just a tad off-dry.
Very Good to Outstanding.

The Vic Secret and Citra hops are delicious combo in this.
