A Note on This Beer

Today’s thirst-annihilating IPA is much more than just a great beer!

It's also your chance to be a part of something bigger. To join a movement to spread awareness and support diversity in the craft beer scene you love. 

2020 is the very first year Fresh Fest has gone digital! For the uninitiated, this is our country’s first Black-owned beer festival and #2 Best Beer Festival in the Nation, according to USA Today.

The annual event showcases some of the country’s most talented Black brewers, including California’s War Cloud. 

War Cloud designed the wise owl on the label with intricate feathers made from hops. The brewery created the art and helped come up with the beer name around the theme “Wise Words” — something the brewers say they believe is lacking in the nation lately. Their intention is to draw awareness to the importance of word choice, especially in today’s ever-challenging times. 

To brew the beer, they teamed up with Dancing Gnome, who brought some serious hop skills as one of USA Today’s Top 3 New Breweries in the Country. Together, they saturated this 8% ABV Hazy Double IPA with the pungent oils of Strata, Nelson, Enigma, and Citra Hops. It tastes like ruby red grapefruit, white grape, Mandarin orange, and mango kush. 

You’re an in-the-know craft fan who has a keen sense for tracking down tasty brews. But, here’s a rare chance at a delicious beer that also invites you to be part of the positive change taking place in your beloved scene!

Balanced! Sometimes with Imperial IPAs you can get either an intense hop bomb or a slightly sweet too malt-forward... not this one! Perfect balance that makes this 8% IPA a pleasant drink

16oz can from Tavour. Fresh Fest 2020 bundle. Milky, hazy pour, yellow, thick, fast dissipating head. Light citrusy aroma, subdued. Taste is simple and straightforward, grapefruit peel, citrusy tang. Minor sweetness, but a big, lasting bitterness.

So hazy it's opaque. Well balanced, not too hoppy, although almost too hoppy for my tastes.

It’s just so juicy sweet with a nice bitter rind finished. Well executed.

Sometimes less is more. Strata, Nelson, enigma, oh my. Too much. Tone it down on the dankness imo. Or maybe the grapefruit didn’t pair well. Whatever it was it didn’t do it for me. Update: on second tasting, upon further review; It was a lot better than the first time around. Score updated.

Daily Corona battle. BTHO South Carolina! edition. Citrusy and dank and earthy. Hop layered and refreshing and dry finishing. Great collab.
