Comm Ave

Tap to rate

Comm Ave pours a glowing, opaque gold that signals its juicy character at first glance. The aroma reaches toward citrus — Cara Cara orange, preserved peach and clementine combine into something that feels almost like fruit preserve coming alive. What follows drinks lively and soft, the 8.2 percent hiding behind that juicy immediacy. A double IPA built less for assertive bitterness than for bright indulgence, the sort of beer that rewards an unhurried afternoon.

◐ Taste

The palate drinks lively and soft, with the 8.2% alcohol completely integrated and unobtrusive. Juicy citrus and stone fruit dominate the mid-palate, supported by a creamy mouthfeel and subtle wheat character. Bitterness arrives as a balancing counterpoint rather than an assertive force, allowing the fruit and smoothness to command the drinking experience.

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.
