Description
This is a New England style Double IPA that uses some serious brewing wizardry. To capture the essence of a harvest, they’ve used "Cryo Fresh" wet hops—hops that are frozen immediately after picking to preserve those delicate, volatile oils that usually disappear within hours.
The Lowdown
- The Style: A Hazy / New England DIPA. It’s thick, juicy, and has that signature "neon" glow.
- The Stats: It’s a heavyweight at 8.0% ABV, but it’s dangerously smooth with what the brewers call a "cool Finnish" (a little nod to their collaborators!).
- The Vibe: Ultra-fresh, tropical, and futuristic. It’s like drinking a fruit harvest in the middle of a digital landscape.
The Hop Profile
They’ve used a "holy trinity" of hops, but in their rarest, freshest wet-hop form:
- Citra: Providing those essential, massive hits of sweet mango and pink grapefruit.
- Simcoe: Adding a layer of bright passion fruit and a very clean, refined pine note.
- Mosaic: Bringing it all together with blueberry sweetness and a complex, earthy stone fruit character.
Tasting Notes
On the pour, it’s a dense, opaque apricot-gold with a creamy white head. The aroma is incredible—it smells like a hop field at dawn, bursting with fresh citrus and tropical greenery. The first sip is remarkably "plush" and velvety, thanks to a heavy dose of oats and wheat. You get waves of intense, juicy tropical fruit that feels "bright" rather than heavy, finishing with a crisp, clean snap that hides the 8% strength perfectly.
