What the brewers say

“Tasting notes of passion fruit, papaya, pithy blood orange.”

What our panel thought

“Pretty mild for an IPA, but the lemon hops are quite pleasant in both the flavor and the aroma. There’s also a spicy floral undercurrent that provides a shimmer of complexity. The lemon drop finish sets up your next sip.”

What our editors thought

“Spicy floral note punches through the general tropical aroma with a funky mineral undertone. Woody and herbal hop notes in the flavor balance the orange and tangerine with more spice than bitterness.”

How We Review

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Parish Brewing Dr. Juice

Welch’s Grape on the nose. More tropical as it opens: grapefruit, lemon, papaya, pineapple, pine. After aroma, flavors relatively muted. Lush juiciness—lemon, grapefruit, grape-must, balanced with earth and pine. Medium-light body. Would liven up a summer afternoon.

Parish Brewing Company SIPS Sauvignon Blanc Passion Fruit

“Sweet pineapple and passion fruit in the nose, followed by flavors of mango, passion fruit, guava. Sweet, but not cloying, with a consistent dark berry flavor throughout. The sauvignon blanc is just enough to add a fun complexity.”

Parish Brewing Company DDH Ghost in the Machine

“Lavish, layered hop aroma—orange, Meyer lemon, touches of guava. Flavor isn’t bitter, but there are tinges of alcohol and hop burn. A dank note goes well with the lemon-lemongrass finish. A touch Sprite-y and sweet; could be softer and easier to approach.”

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.

For the latest in the Hazy IPA series, ride Sierra Nevada’s interstellar wave of tropical flavor in this Cosmic Little Thing, a hazy nebula glowing with Comet, Strata, and Helios hops for notes of citrus, berries, and lychee. Head into orbit with this 8 percent ABV hazy double IPA before the next Hazy IPA rotator hits. Look for Cosmic Little Thing in six-packs and 19.2 oz singles.

The result is a level of flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel that can only materialize at high strength, crossing the line into a whole new cosmos of punchy mango and pineapple character.
