Permutation 77: Southern Hemisphere IPA w/ Rakau

Permutation is our experimental series of small batch offerings, showcasing the unique visions and innovative concepts developed by our brewing and cellar crew.

Brewed at our Fort Point location, Permutation #77 marks the second entry of our deeper exploration into the unique and innovative hops being cultivated in the Southern Hemisphere. For this batch, we experimented with a Rakau, a New Zealand hop know for its strong and unique fruit-forward aromas and flavors and clean bitterness.

Pouring a hazy golden yellow hue with a white foamy head, Permutation #77’s gives off delightful aromas of fresh squeezed grapefruits, lime peel, and honeydew melon. The palate balances ripe apricot and sweet clementines with a simple yet supportive crackery malt backbone and a subtly spicy bite of blooming conifer. Medium bodied with moderation carbonation, Permutation #77 has a crisp, dry finish.
