Headroom is about pushing boundaries. From its first batch brewed on Congress St. in 2015 to today, Headroom stands as a landmark, watershed beer in terms of our evolution as a brewery. Conceptually, we sought to create our boldest, most daring, hoppiest beer we could possibly dream up. Our ability to conceive and brew new Double Dry Hopped Double and Triple IPAs is born out of our foundational experience brewing Headroom. Remaining our hoppiest beer, laden with over 8 pounds per barrel of Galaxy and Mosaic Hops, Headroom represents a yearly look back at our past, a reflection on our present, and a glance into our future.

This years batch displays huge aromas of pressed orange, lemon zest, and papaya with a burst of fresh grassy hops. Rich flavors of candied peach and orange peel lead the palate with supporting notes of pithy red grapefruit, ripe pineapple, white table grapes, and mango smoothies. As with previous years, Headroom is balanced with a full, rounded mouthfeel and a soft, creamy finish.

Pours hazy, like grapefruit juice. Not much foam, really looking like juice and not beer. Aroma has grapefruit, green and weedy. Taste is totally smooth, feels like it has some herbal weed, white grapefruit in the big way. Everything flows into a prickly bitter finish, deep medicinal bitterness, long linger. Wow, that’s the beer I would like to drink all the time. I mean if i had access to only this, would still be happy. Grapefruit seed finish, seed bitterness.

Can shared. Thanks Kaori and Jon! Milky, white and yellow color (looks like peach juice). Huge white grapefruit forward nose with loads of kiwi, peach and light sulphur. Very juice like in body and texture. Creamy on the palate with more kiwi, papaya and white grapefruit. Bit of pith and seed on the finish. Almost no bitterness. Well-executed.

Uber hazy, almost spoiled milk color. Super cloudy. Super full of white grapefruit and peaches with white wine and tropical fruit. The mouth is flawless. The acidity and bitterness is super reduced and subtle. Just a schooling of NE IPAs. So rounded the alcohol well hidden with some grape seed and peach stone in the mouth. This is unbelievable. This is just out of this world. Doesn’t seem like a beer. Just juice. Beyond world class. Just unreal.
