Our style of brewing has always been about taking chances. It’s an extension of our “what-if” mentality, wherein we ask ourselves what would happen if we did things di­fferently in the brewhouse, such as fermenting with a di­fferent strain of yeast or, in the case of this beer, incorporating whole-leaf green tea imported from Japan. The answer, embodied in this IPA when we first released it in 2011, was something truly magnificent, delicious and well worth brewing again. But what if we changed it up a bit? This time around, we exchanged Pacifica hops from New Zealand for Helga hops from Australia. The result is an IPA that’s as bright, herbaceous and bitingly hoppy as the one that’s had our fans requesting its return ever since its depletion from store shelves, but with a modern, hop-driven twist that makes this second draft unique and tasty in its own right.

    Rated Feb. 2015. 22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear copper to gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up spicy onion, cantaloupe, tangelo and a mild level of earthy tea. The taste starts smooth and subtle for a brief moment. The hops unfold with juicy citrus lined thinly with mango and then the bitterness wells up with spicy dank onion, grapefruit and then floral notes just as some booziness bubbles to the surface. Into the finish a pleasing earthy tea dryness intercedes amid the hop bitterness and fading juiciness. Wow, such a big beer with restrained booziness and less than intense hoppiness. Solid.
