What that all distills down to, as it relates to their newest Spring release, is a decadent chocolatey Bourbon Barrel-aged Brown Ale with a big body and a sweet finish, with notes of toffee candy and macadamia nuts. The base beer would be complex enough on its own, but in the spirit of the Four Seasons program, Mother Earth’s brewers had to take it up a notch further. Overall, Spring is ...
Having erred toward the sweet fruit and coconut flavors of their last Project X Series release, Mother Earth’s brewers decided to swing the pendulum, calling for more traditional IPA flavors with Metamorphosis.

“We’ve been having a lot of fun with these Southern Hemisphere varietals lately. The sweet/tropical/stone fruit characteristics really lend themselves well to the style. The increased bitterness also helps to balance that perceived sweetness. We typically don’t use lactose in our hazy beers, which is often done to assist with haze stability and to increase body, but we’ve found that we can achieve those qualities through brewing methods rather than loading the beer with adjuncts. The result is a medium to full bodied beer with tons of hop aroma and flavor but without the cloying sweetness.”
