Beer Release: 'Renaissance' Impresses With Intrepid Artwork and Delicious Liquid

We’re proud to announce the release of Renaissance Hazy IPA, the newest addition to our rotating Project X Series. This limited release showcases a distinctive blend of Nelson Sauvin, Citra, Elani, and Vic Secret hops—each contributing layers of complexity that make this hazy IPA both bold and balanced.

According to Head Brewer Matt Watterson:

“Nelson Sauvin contributes bright, fruity notes of white grape and gooseberry, while Citra adds a zesty citrus kick with hints of lime and grapefruit. Elani brings a smooth tropical juiciness, enhancing the overall sweetness, and Vic Secret rounds things out with a touch of passionfruit and earthy, dank cannabis. We’ve also used isolated terpenes to bring out those herbal, dank aromas for a well-rounded, bold experience that still finishes smooth and balanced.”

Renaissance delivers a flavor profile that highlights sweet citrus, tropical passionfruit, sticky pine, and subtle herbal bitterness. Its soft mouthfeel and restrained finish make it both approachable and satisfying—offering depth without overwhelming the palate.

True to the Project X Series ethos, the beer is paired with original artwork designed to reflect the creative and flavorful nature of the brew. The label, created by artist @the_real_darius_, features a striking blend of classical and modern imagery: a marble sculpture reminiscent of Renaissance art set against a backdrop of an urban skyline and surreal cosmic elements. The design captures the spirit of reinvention and contrast—core themes that inspired both the beer and its presentation.

As Kamron Khannakhjavani, Director of Marketing, explains:

“This is more than just a label—it’s a visual representation of contrast and harmony, mirroring a beer that’s both complex and easy-drinking. It’s a renaissance of style, flavor, and imagination.”
