Mother Earth Brew Co. ensured that 2024 would go down as a special year for beer lovers with the introduction of the latest and greatest version of its 'Project X' series, a delicious hazy IPA dubbed 'Urban Solace' that offers a punchy flavor profile while continuing to proceed with the series mandate of fusing the worlds of beer and art via the art form of beer cover art.
The 'Urban Solace' hazy IPA makes use of two highly celebrated and recognizable hops, namely the Citra and Galaxy varieties, but adds a special little twist with the inclusion of the experimental 'HBC 1019' hop. The end result is a brew that is rich in tropical fruit notes that range from ethereally sweet melons to mildly tangy oranges and bold stone fruit.
This hazy IPA's label makes use of artwork from Brazilian creator Visvel, who states the surreal artwork was inspired by his upbringing as a skater on the streets.
