This IPA is designed to showcase the delicious coconut and woody notes of neo-mexicanus hops. We used them in a few new ways in the brewhouse - first by putting some in the mash and second by putting some in the fermenter prior to knock out. All are designed to bring out the flavors more intensely. And with the dry hop we've added a touch of coconut flakes to enhance the real coconut essence.

I was skeptical about coconut in an IPA, but the woody notes from those neo-mexicanus hops come through beautifully without being sweet. The mash addition gives it a depth I’ve never tasted in another beer.
That woody note from the neo-mexicanus hops is front and center, like cracking open a fresh cedar box. I've had plenty of IPAs, but the coconut comes through so cleanly on the finish, it's honestly a little wild.
The mash addition really brings out something smooth and layered here, not just the usual hop bite. I’ve never tasted coconut tones this clearly in an IPA before, and the woody finish lingers just right. Definitely grabbing another pack next time.
