Style: Belgian IPA
Container: 32oz Growler
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: Generously dry hopped, Motueka provides this beer with layers of bright lime and ripe honeydew while Citra offers up its distinct pulpy orange flavors. Balanced by a crisp and herbaceous bite with a rounded mouthfeel and drying finish, Permutation #83 is pleasing to fanatics of Belgian and hop-forward beers alike. (7.9%)

Style: Imperial Porter
Container: 500ml Bottle
Glassware: IDB Glass
Notes:Big, bold, black, and aged in bourbon barrels with coffee beans. The lengthy conditioning period in the barrels creates a silky smooth chocolatey mouth feel enhanced by the use of oats and brown sugar. Noticeable sweetness gets balanced by roasted malt and hop bitterness. Additional flavors include bourbon, vanilla, and oak.(12.5%)
We reviewed a candy bar where the peanuts were roasted with brown ale? Maybe? Sure.

We first reviewed this on February 15th, a day after it was released. We didn’t feel the beer was quite ready so it wasn’t fair to review it as such.
We let it sit a couple of weeks and re-reviewed it on March 1st. This video is a combination of both reviews.

Style: Quadruple IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: The Streets (1st Review) 8oz Flutes (2nd Review
Notes: …we dosed this beer with massive additions of Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy at our highest hopping rate to date. Pouring a heavily hazy orange color, the nose instantly is greeted with bold aromas of of creamy mango purée, candied lemon, tropical papaya, and underripe pineapple. (13%)

Notes: A version of Double Shot that accentuates the flavors of dark chocolate wafers and sweet cream filling balanced by a smooth and creamy body(9.2%)
This week we reviewed Idle Hands latest release in the “Seam” series, Double Citra Four Seam. We went off on some tangents in the review so decided to make a separate video while we gushed over how great Idle Hands is.
Style: IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: We took our Flagship IPA and dry-hopped with twice the amount of Citra than normal. Thus resulting in intense flavors of candied citrus and background notes of dank, tropical fruit.(6.6%)

Glassware: Snifter
Notes: Imperial stout brewed with flaked oats, midnight wheat, lactose and donuts! Than rested on a ridiculous amount of vanilla beans and locally roasted coffee(12.4%)
Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 750ml
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: Permutation 109 draws inspiration from two of our favorite inductions in the series so far: Numbers 52 and 57. Like those batches, for this special beer we took an imperial stout aged just over two years in bourbon oak barrels and blended it with a fresh stout brewed in stainless fermenters. Next, we added coconut, almond, vanilla bean, and our Trillium blend cold brew to amplify the palate with bold depth and decadent flavor. (12.4%)
Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz can
Glassware: 16oz Tree House Snifter
Notes: It is brewed with copious doses of Nelson and Citra in both the kettle and the dry hop. It tastes and smells strongly of citrus, sweet sauvignon blanc grapes, and gooseberries. It is loaded with flavor and yet maintains an easy drinking, mouth watering appeal.(7.9%)
