Shapeshifter
A draft-only hazy IPA poured at the Portland pub alongside the longer-running Flower in the Kettle. The brewery describes it through soft fruit rather than resin: peach skin and kumquat come first, followed by sweet grapefruit and green, slightly tart mango. Bitterness stays in the background, and the fruit carries through a fuller, softer body than the house West Coast IPAs, ending round rather than sharply dry.
