Cosmic Creatures is a vibrant expression of the modern American IPA, where a proprietary experimental yeast strain amplifies a hefty hop profile. This 6% ABV pour delivers an olfactory explosion of bright citrus zest and lush tropical fruits, ranging from mango to passionfruit. The malt remains a clean, supportive backdrop, ensuring the beer stays light and refreshing on the palate. Its crisp finish and firm bitterness are hallmarks of the style, yet the unique fermentation adds a contemporary fruity depth that distinguishes it from traditional West Coast examples. It is a harmonious marriage of new-age yeast technology and classic Pacific Northwest brewing expertise.
Appearance.Golden-colored with a slight orange hue. Brilliant clarity and a frothy white head that shows excellent persistence and leaves intricate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, tangerine, and ripe mango. The experimental yeast strain contributes significant esters of passionfruit and pineapple, resting over a very low, clean, crackery malt base.
Taste.Immediate impact of zesty citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Mid-palate reveals a low, supportive grainy malt character with minimal toast. Medium-high bitterness is clean and assertive, leading into a crisp, dry finish with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing character. Moderate to high carbonation provides a lively, effervescent mouthfeel. No detectable astringency, with a very subtle, smooth alcohol presence.
