Crafted with a reckless abundance of Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops Mother Earth Head Case is a 7.2% ABV West Coast inspired Hazy IPA with a respectable, yet restrained bitterness that has become the hallmark of Project X releases of late.
“Combining modern hopping techniques along with the right yeast strain is critical to achieving the right balance of juicy-meets-clean,”’ said Mother Earth Director of Brewing Operations, Chris Baker. “Head Case is the first beer we’ve brewed to feature our new crop year of Citra and Galaxy. Then, of course, our house ‘Juice’ yeast strain is used to give the beer a nice full body while not being overly sweet like some can be.”

Brewed with Noble hops and wheat, and fermented with Weihenstephan yeast, Lone Tree Hefeweizen is a 5.4% ABV Wheat Ale that Head Brewer Dennis O’Harrow designed to mimic the unfiltered wheat beers he enjoyed while traveling in Munich.
