A Note on This Beer

Getting a hold of the one-of-a-kind hopjuice from Seattle’s Mirage is like capturing Bigfoot.

Until today, high-tailing it to a local bottle shop was your only shot at a stash! Unless you already miraculously managed to snag a spot in their coveted bottle club, of course.

As soon as head brewer Michael Dempster posts a new release on Instagram, you can practically hear the herd of hopheads taking to the streets. They know that Micheal never makes the same beer twice.

That includes today’s measly 30 cases of A Ghoul DIPA. This two-man brew crew stuffed it with 6.5 lbs per barrel (2x the average amount) of Vic Secret, Galaxy, and Mosaic Hops! Each lusciously full-bodied sip swims with sumptuous layers of punchy, tropical notes, harmonized with a bit of raw gooseberry flavor — ALL from the “stupid amount” of hops. 

The mouthfeel? Smooth as silk. Thick as freshly-squeezed OJ. Softer than a well-loved sweatshirt. 

I admit that I’ve officially given up on finding Bigfoot. But, Mirage’s hazy creations are always worth the hunt. 

*Mirage took home three medals from the 2019 Washington Beer awards, including GOLD for Juicy, Hazy Pale Ales!

Fast disappearing head. Loaded with yeast chunks. Bitter up front without juice hop balance. Quaffable but not transcendent.

Solid beer, very well balanced. Slightly sweet on the finish, but enough dankness to cover it. Enjoyable

Hazy golden color with a somewhat bland hoppy and grassy aroma. Small white head that dissipates very quickly. No lacing on the glass. At first sip strong bitterness hits the tongue with very little noticeable malt character to balance the bitterness. Hop flavors are somewhat muted on the aftertaste.

This a good, not great, DIPA. Very bitter on the front end but not a ton of juice to counter balance it.
