IPA w/ Lactose, brewed in collaboration with Fine Balance Brewing Co. This collab was born out of a meeting and instant friendship between Caitlyn and Fine Balance's Jamie. We decided to do a mashup of our Astro Ever After IPA and their Oats and Cream IPA - enter... Symbiosis. We subbed out some of Astro's trademark wheat to load up on Oats and used lactose to add a subtly sweet smoothness. We haven't used lactose in a hoppy beer for quite some time, and this beer might change that. There's no bitterness to speak of - it's berry forward in its hop profile and finishes with an orange creamsicle kind of vibe. We love it, and we loved making it!
