Description:
A Metamodern IPA conceived of hand selected hops from down under. Malt barley and red wheat combine to create a clean malt backbone with foolproof flavor and mouthfeel to support the main act of Enigma, Vic Secret, Ella, Topaz and Galaxy hops. The hops strum juicy and sweet aromas with headline notes of passion fruit, raspberries, pineapple and citrus. This straight-up strain is Oskar Blues IPA (6.43% ABV). To each their own til we go home. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Atypical...In a Great Way
Pours out a hazy yellow with a half finger of a quickly dissipating head.
Melon, tropical fruit, and a little bit of citrus give this a really unique and enticing aroma - not your usual IPA hop aroma! The flavor is all IPA, though, with a moderate bitterness and a fairly long finish. The hop flavors aren't quite as sweet as the aroma originally suggested - with more of the pine and citrus of American hops - but there are hints of the melon and fruit buried in there.
Although the aroma is a bit of a misdirection, both it and the flavors are refreshing and tasty, with just the right amount of bitterness and flavors, combined!
