Gasoline Rainbows
Gasoline Rainbows from Denver's Cerebral Brewing is a vibrant West Coast IPA that pours a clear, golden straw with a bright white head. The aroma bursts with Simcoe's signature dankness layered over the tropical brightness of Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin — think pineapple gummies, candied lemon rind, and ripe passionfruit. On the palate, the beer is crisp and assertive, delivering that classic Californian-style resinous backbone alongside juicy, sun-soaked fruit character driven by the Mosaic addition. Bitterness is clean and purposeful rather than aggressive, framing the hop complexity beautifully. The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering dank citrus and passionfruit notes that invite the next sip. A precision-crafted showcase of modern West Coast hopping.
