Colorways is generously hopped across the board with Strata and some Citra to bring in extra tropical juiciness. It’s a DIPA bursting with aroma and has just enough bitterness and a lovely mouthfeel.

Brett / Mixed Culture
11/10/2020
After a year and a half in the bottle, the brett has taken the aromatics of the hops and morphed them into something else. We get a lot of pear, lemon zest, fresh hay, pineapple, and a hint of sweet tarts, along with some classic barnyard funk. Brett continues to ferment things that brewer’s yeast wouldn't, so as this beer has aged, it's dried out, and become more carbonated.

Coldest Beer in Town
San Diego IPA
10/27/2020
5% ABV
Hops: Mosaic
A dry, fruity West Coast Lager that’s one of our crispiest beers yet. Coldest Beer in Town explores the subtitles of Mosaic that aren’t usually expressed in an IPA. We get more blueberry, tangerine, hints of pine, along with just a dash of peach. Layered in with aromatics of Mosaic are perfumey notes of opium, rose, lemon zest, and some herbaceousness from Tettnang, Grungiest, and a floral lager yeast. These lower-alpha german hops also build a structured mouthfeel and impart a balancing crispness to complement the honey-like pilsner malt.
