The haze is gorgeous and the Ponoma yeast gives it this soft, rounded mouthfeel that I wasn't expecting from an IPA. It pours that deep amber and the caramel rye lingers in the finish just enough to keep it interesting without getting heavy.

That caramel rye really comes through on the backend, giving the haze a toasty warmth I wasn’t expecting from an IPA. The Ponoma yeast keeps it lively and fresh, so it’s been my go-to pour while the lights are up.
