Unseen Things

Tap to rate

Tropical, fruity esters sit on top of soft, bitter resins, and the finish tips toward sweet grapefruit. Mosaic, Cascade and a pile of Strata build this rye IPA, which brewer Tomme Arthur designed to show off the tropical character of Strata and to sit somewhere between hazy and clear, and it ends on a crisp, bright finish. 6.2% ABV.

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, turbid appearance that sits deliberately between cloudy and clear. The head forms quickly and persists with moderate retention and fine lacing. Bright carbonation animates the glass throughout.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit and citrus esters lead the nose, with distinct mango and passion fruit character from the Strata hops. Soft, resinous undertones emerge beneath, balanced by subtle herbal notes and a whisper of grain from the rye base.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical fruitiness and a creamy, soft mouthfeel that carries through the mid-palate. Resinous hop bitterness builds gradually, supported by the rye's subtle spice, before pivoting toward sweet grapefruit and citrus zest in the center. The bitterness remains integrated rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

Clean and bright, with the sweet grapefruit note lingering into the aftertaste. The finish tapers quickly to crisp dryness, leaving behind a light hop bite without harshness.

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.
