Product Details:
- Owners: Sean Buchan and Dan McGuire
- Head Brewer: Sam Bennett
- ABV: 8.0%
- Hops: Nelson
- Production: Rotating single-hop series produced in individually identified batches
Sensory Description:
The aroma opens with lemon bar, ripe tropical fruit, and bright red-fruit candy. The palate is full and smooth, carrying mango gummy bear, citrus confection, and berry-like hop character across a substantial Double IPA frame. Sweet fruit impressions are balanced by measured hop bitterness and enough freshness to retain focus, while the finish lingers with citrus, tropical fruit, and a gently resinous edge.
Brewer's Background:
Cerebral Brewing was founded in 2015 by Sean Buchan and Dan McGuire in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood. Buchan serves as Co-Founder and CEO, McGuire as Co-Founder and CFO, and Sam Bennett leads the brewing team as Head Brewer. The brewery applies precise methodology and in-house quality control across hop-driven ales, foeder-fermented lagers, and barrel-aged beers. Scam Likely demonstrates its experimental approach through a recurring format that isolates a different hop variety in each batch, allowing the character of individual cultivars to take center stage.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled at 7 to 9 degrees Celsius in a tulip or IPA glass to concentrate its tropical, citrus, and candy-like aromatics. Pair with spicy fried chicken, barbecue pork, grilled burgers, sharp cheddar, blue cheese, or richly seasoned tacos. Its 8.0% ABV and concentrated hop profile make it best suited to measured pours and relaxed sipping.
