Introducing Close Encounters of a Hop Kind! This 8.5% ABV Double IPA transports beer drinkers far beyond typical Double IPAs with CLS Farms’ extraterrestrial proprietary hop varieties: El Dorado®, Zappa®, and the brand new, never before used CLS X-14. Handcrafted out of a love for experimental hops, Close Encounters of a Hop Kind is a deceptively easy-drinking DIPA.

Pour is a deep golden yellow - crystal clear - with a huge 2 fingers of fluffy, rocky, off white head. excellent retention.
Nose and taste are tropical fruits, citrus rind, dank, firm bitterness.
nice clean, dry finish. body is appropriate for the style.

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy honey-gold color with a nice off-white head. Initial impression is tropical fruits, pineapple, pear, stone fruit and dank earthiness. Mouthfeel is medium, clean and slightly sticky. Finish trends toward dank bitterness, but with a bit of offsetting caramel. I had hoped this was going to be a resurrection of 21st Amendment's Hop Crisis, but it's not. It's pretty good, though.
