Wizard Fight

Tap to rate

Classic Pacific Northwest hop character meets modern dank and berry notes; the beer stays clean, balanced and nicely saturated without going over the top. Chinook, Mosaic and Idaho 7 carry the first batch over a simple malt backbone. Wizard Fight was created as a playground for new hops and hop products, with fresh hop or kiwi-hopped versions floated for future batches.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with classic Pacific Northwest hop character—resinous, piney, and herbal—layered beneath modern dank and berry notes. Chinook, Mosaic, and Idaho 7 create a complex, herbaceous profile with subtle stone fruit undertones and a whisper of citrus zest. The malted backbone remains understated, allowing the hop expression to dominate without harsh edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and bright, with immediate hop bitterness that remains measured at 60 IBU. Mid-palate balances assertive dank and resinous hop character against a subtle, supportive malt sweetness, while berry notes and citrus pith emerge alongside a dry, grainy texture. The beer holds excellent structure throughout, never veering into excess or muddiness.

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.
