Funky Fluid Comely is a vibrant Specialty IPA that masterfully balances the rustic spice of Rye with a complex, fruit-forward hop profile. The addition of HBC 586 delivers a potent bouquet of mango, lychee, and guava, while Citra adds sharp grapefruit and lime zest. Ahtanum rounds out the profile with delicate floral notes and a whisper of earthy pine. On the palate, the grainy, bready character of the rye provides a sturdy foundation for the intense tropical flavors and a firm, clean bitterness. It finishes dry and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of citrus peel and peppery spice.
Appearance.Deep gold to copper-amber (6–14 SRM). Topped with a persistent, creamy off-white head that leaves substantial lacing. Appearance ranges from clear to a slight modern haze.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring tropical medley (mango, guava) and citrus (grapefruit). Subtle floral and piney notes emerge alongside a distinct peppery, bready malt character from the rye. Clean fermentation profile with minimal esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp hop punch of tropical fruit and citrus zest. The mid-palate reveals the grainy, spicy complexity of rye malt, which supports a firm but not harsh bitterness. The finish is notably dry and crisp, with lingering notes of pine resin and spicy grain.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a characteristic silkiness or slight oiliness from the rye content. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp bite. Very light alcohol warmth is well-integrated.
