Garage Beer Co Brazen

Brazen is a lush Double IPA that prioritizes a soft, pillowy texture through the addition of oatmeal. This expression centers on a vibrant hop quartet: Cashmere and El Dorado provide deep notes of ripe peach and whimsical gummy bear sweetness, accented by a bright lime finish. Citra adds a punchy grapefruit character, while a specific lot of Chinook contributes layers of fresh pineapple. Despite its 8.5% ABV, the bitterness remains restrained, allowing the tropical and stone fruit profile to shine against a neutral malt backdrop. It is an incredibly smooth, summer-leaning ale that balances high hop intensity with an effortless, velvety drinkability.
