Collaboration with Alternate Ending. We took our Heirloom single hop IPA base, spiced it up a bit, and threw on some Alternate Ending tweaks, and came out with Slick Shoes, our Goonies inspired, all Simcoe, single-hop IPA. A fluffy base of oats and pilsner malt was gently whirlpooled with a hefty sack of Simcoe cryo before being dry hopped with more standard Simcoe pellets and Simcoe cryo. Notes of dank tropical pineapple fruit cocktail, orange marmalade, and some underpinnings of classic piney IPA make this an absolute wonder of a beer that we've been crushing heavily.

Pint pour on draught at the brewery. Served in a shaker glass. It's a very attractive pour: hazy, golden-yellow with a big, fluffy, bright white cap and abundant thick, clinging lacing. It's about as pretty a draught pour as you'll experience. The smell is very fragrant with lemon, tangerine, pineapple, and floral hops. Its taste opens with tart lemon and grapefruit rind balanced by the sweetness of tangerine, pineapple, and oats. Beneath is a firm, crackery, slightly sweet pilsner malt base. The Simcoe hops provide pronounced bitterness throughout. It's very well balanced. The mouth feel is thick and fluffy with a pleasant level of carbonation, and it drinks easily for 7.5% ABV. Overall, this collaboration is excellent work! Everything about Slick Shoes is very good.
