Full Squish is a vibrant Specialty IPA that bridges the gap between hop-forward intensity and rustic farmhouse complexity. The sensory experience is defined by the assertive presence of Brettanomyces, which introduces a signature layer of barnyard funk, leather, and ripened pineapple. This wild character is expertly balanced by the addition of passion fruit, offering both succulent sweetness and a bright, zesty tartness. The malt remains a subtle, cracker-like backdrop, allowing the interplay of tropical fruit and funky fermentation to take center stage. It finishes bone-dry with a lingering, puckering acidity and a clean, fruity bitterness that invites another sip.

Aroma.High intensity featuring pungent passion fruit and tropical hop notes. Distinct Brettanomyces character provides earthy funk, hay, and wild fruit esters. Very low bready malt presence.
Taste.Initial tartness from passion fruit followed by assertive tropical fruit flavors. Firm hop bitterness is balanced by a dry, funky finish. Brettanomyces contributes complex layers of leather and pineapple. The malt flavor is minimal, providing just enough structure to support the fruit and fermentation profile.
