Here we go again. It’s GABF entry time (beers are due by the end of the week) and we find ourselves entering another crowded Juicy/Hazy category, where luck is needed as much as brewing prowess and excellent packaging operations. You gotta be EXCELLENT and LUCKY to win anything with over 200 entries, and we rarely enter our IPAs because they tend to edge the official style guidelines in terms of bitterness (too high) and terminal gravity (too low). But alas, when the Brewers Association throws you an extra entry because we have a booth this year – THAT’S RIGHT WE ARE ACTUALLY POURING AT THE FEST THIS TIME – might as well surrender to the sound and enter our freshest batch. This one is built around the classics – Citra & Mosaic – with some Nectaron to double down on the yellow peach note, and a splash of Sabro for a lil key lime highlight. And since we’ll HAVE to actually attend the award ceremony (Steve usually streams the awards from his couch, in comfy sweats, as one does when an innate competitive nature combines with concentrated, crippling anxiety), this name is how we’ll be feeling for that hour plus shindig. YAY! AH! EEK. OOF. UGHHHH.
