TETHERED - WEST COAST IPA

Tethered - West Coast IPA (6.5%) This one is a checkpoint for us. Tethered is our latest expression of where our hoppy beer program has landed - particularly West Coast IPA. Over the past year we’ve been making small but deliberate tweaks: pushing leaner where it matters, embracing classic structure where it counts, and tightening how malt carries hop oil saturation. Brewed with Voyager Craft Malts, then heavily layered with Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra Dynaboost, Strata, and Peacharine SubZero Hop Kief, this beer is built for high oil expression without sacrificing drinkability. In the glass you’ll find complex tropical fruit - peach, nectarine, mango - with an almost gummy-bear sweetness up front. Fruit-forward and saturated, but underpinned by just enough malt to support the hopping rate and keep everything in balance. At 6.5%, there’s a touch more bitterness for the purists, but the finish stays clean, modern, and satisfying. We were also fortunate to trial Peacharine SubZero Hop Kief thanks to Freestyle Hops as part of their research collective, giving us early access to emerging hop products and techniques. Tethered feels like a clear marker of where we’ve come from - and where we’re heading.High flavour. High drinkability. Considered technique.
