Mix well and enjoy.
Kipling once said “East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet”. * What Rudyard (how’s that for a first name, thanks Mom, thanks Dad) didn’t count on was a collaboration between cottage country Sawdust City and the ever macabre malters at Third Moon. Come to think of it, who did? Combining Third Moon’s Bone Tree East Coaster with Sawdust’s Lone Tree West Coaster and you get, you guessed it, Bone Pine! A bi-coaster toaster of pine bones and cones.
But the collaboration participation doesn’t end there. Add Beertown into the mix and the brewer’s favourite beer geeks T&E ** and you’ve got a four-way IPA collaberet. Time to end the confusion with an infusion of this brew fusion.
Firmly seated on the boathouse lounge chair, I’m starting out on the right foot with a picture perfect pour. Hazy orange to blood orange (Third Moon had to get blood in there somewhere) with a heroic head.
A tropical aroma with some hops in the background. First taste is tropical juice, malt, hops to bitters in sequence and balance. Initially the tastes each stand out on their own but eventually they begin to morph together. A full mouth feel, mellow, smooth and tasty. Great sequence and consistently balanced, bi-coastal IPAs are tricky to brew but Third Moon and Sawdust City’s bones and cones nailed it.
