We're keeping it simple with a refreshing, thirst quenching, and balanced west coast IPA using our favorite Mosaic, Galaxy, & Citra hops. The dynamic combination adds a tropical splash of mango, passion fruit, soft stone fruits, berries, and citrus at an easy drinking 5.5% abv just in time for summer.

Hazy, white-hued pale gold. Lasting small head but it leaves a blanket of lace.

Weedy aroma. Lighter pale malt.

High carbonation with a neutral body. The black pepper-like hop bitterness. The malt becomes a bit lost. Easy to drink albeit near extreme in bitterness.

Can purchased and drank at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a mostly clear golden darkish orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This doesn’t smell all that tropical, honestly – just kind of lightly citrusy, some pine, and a touch of maltiness.

This is decent, but like most beers from Ithaca these days, it just fails to leave a mark. It’s not wildly tropical, it’s just a weird title for a beer that’s clearly trying to be a West Coast IPA. As a West Coast IPA, it’s decent enough, a bit too malty ultimately for my personal tastes, but I didn’t hate it.

This has a little bit of bitterness on the finish, and is reasonably drinkable.

I don’t really need to have this one again.
