Early Static

Tap to rate

A double dry-hopped hazy IPA with a resinous edge: alongside Citra and Riwaka sits Columbus, an older American hop known for pine and herbal bite. It sets a counterpoint to the citrus of the other two. Oats and wheat in the mash give the soft body, at 6.8 percent. The canning date is on the tin — for this style, no formality.

Pale straw yellow with a soft haze throughout, characteristic of the style. The head is pillowy and well-sustained, leaving distinct lacing on the glass as it recedes. Fine carbonation rises steadily, maintaining gentle turbidity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—grapefruit zest and orange peel from Citra and Riwaka—layered beneath a woody, resinous pine character from Columbus. Subtle oat and wheat grain rounds out the back, contributing a soft, cereal undertone without assertiveness.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with immediate citrus impact followed by a herbal and piney mid-palate from the Columbus hop. Oats and wheat provide a gentle, full body that prevents harshness; the bitterness builds gradually, settling into a balanced herbal-resinous bite rather than sharp IBU spike.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and lingering, with pine and herbal notes persisting pleasantly without astringency. A clean, refreshing close that invites another sip.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
