We’re ending the year on a high note in the Dank Department, our new 6.8% West Coast IPA featuring Riwaka, Nectaron Cryo, Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Columbus Cryo.

How do you define dank?

The term “Dank” has been removed from many hop suppliers’ sensory lexicon as it historically has many negative connotations; most notably damp and musty. We use the phrase “Dank” to denote positive sensory outcomes reminiscent of cannabis and petroleum. We carefully selected hops with the goal of bringing the most impactful aromas possible, highlighting unique and modern hop expressions. Columbus Cryo is known for being a hugely impactful hop and dominating beers, but we kept it light handed in the dry hop to accentuate the rest of the dry hop character. Dank Department erupts with aromas of Peach-Os, Pineapple Kush, lychee and a hint of kerosene. The palate is saturated with Pineapple Kush and has a sticky, oily bitterness that lingers like Douglas Fir tree sap.

Dropping at the usual spots this week.
