New England IPA/6.8% ABV/30 IBU
What’s a foolproof way to put some pizzazz back into a relationship? Maybe a little hop oil? For the latest iteration of its tried-and-true house hazy, Flagstaff’s Dark Sky mixed up the hop card a bit, using a “unique Citra hop oil” in the whirlpool, followed by dry-hoppings of Citra, El Dorado and Simcoe. The result: aromas of “Fruit Loops, peach ring gummies and tropical fruit” in the estimation of the brewer, with a “snappy pine bitterness” at the end. What got into you tonight, dear? Available at Trevor’s Liquors and other fine beer stores. darkskybrewing.com
