A Note on This Beer
Remember Rocko’s Modern Life? It was one of those 90s cartoon shows that was supposed to be for kids, but was filled with thinly veiled jokes for adults. There was a character named Dr. Bendova, and they once aired an episode called ‘Carnival Knowledge.’
Again, this was a kids show.
Interestingly, today’s Rakau’s Modern Haze is sort of the opposite — it’s aimed at adults (duh) but the kid in you will definitely appreciate the tropical citrus flavors. You could practically fill a juice box with this stuff!
Just be careful how fast you sip it, or that 8% ABV might lead directly to naptime.
To make it, the brewers at California’s Alpha Acid snagged a Heifer-sized pile of Rakau and Strata Hops all the way from Rocko-the-wallaby’s home Down Under. When all those cones inundate Alpha Acid’s thick, Hazy IPA body, they create dense layers of tangy tangerine, ripe pineapple, and sticky mango.
It’s like a melty whirlpool of tropical sorbet and freshly squeezed citrus, with just a whisper of pine and grapefruit pithyness on the finish — just the thing for binging cartoons on a lazy Saturday.
But, you won’t find a sip outside of California, except for right here, and we have less than 40 cases to go around!
Silicon Valley’s The Six Fifty Magazine praises Alpha Acid for brewing the “most un-boring beers!”
