THE SUMMER SEASON IS SLOWING BUT WE SURE AREN'T! We are continuing our every-60-day release schedule of Hazy IPAs with a new Simcoe and Mosaic hopped brew that’s a tongue twister both inside and out and impresses visually with the fluid creations of the artist known as pxEYES – an LA based visual and 3D artist known for his work with musicians like Steve Aoki, Zed’s Dead, and others.
Synaptic Plasticity (Pronounced /səˈnaptik/ /plaˈstisədē/), in contrast to several of this year’s previous “Project X Series” releases, leans more toward the West-coast style of Hazies, finishing drier and slightly more bitter, in addition to being more unfiltered than milky, on the sliding scale of Hazy. Make no mistake, though; what it lacks in New-England qualities, it more than make up for in its flavor and aroma.
Our brewers went heavy-handed with Simcoe and Mosaic, a pair of classic domestic hops from the Pacific Northwest known well for their key roles in some of the categories most storied IPAs.
“We had a slew of releases this year that erred toward the New-England style, so we wanted to swing the pendulum and switch it up for the latest release. We kept the residual sweetness low and toned down the haze. The result is a beer that drinks halfway between a NE-style Hazy and a WC IPA. Call it a West Coast Hazy. It’s hop-focused enough for the Clear beer purists but lacks the lingering bitterness that Hazy IPA fans can appreciate.”

Seriously, a beer named Synaptic Plasticity that's dry and unfiltered? It makes my royal match level struggles on the subway feel trivial.
A well-crafted beer with layered hop profiles is a lot like good design — it reveals itself slowly, and everyone experiences it a little differently. That cascade of citrus and pine on the first sip, followed by a subtle floral finish, is the kind of drinking experience that rewards patience. It reminds me of how certain things just feel more meaningful when you slow down and savor them — like the ritual of sharing a thoughtful Marathi good-evening message with old friends before cracking open a cold one together. I've been pulling those messages from https://marathiwish.com/ lately, and there's something about combining a beautifully worded sentiment in your mother tongue with a relaxed evening that makes the whole unwinding ritual…

That cascade of citrus and pine on the first sip, followed by a subtle floral finish, is the kind of drinking experience that rewards patience. Speaking of personal taste, I've noticed how much satisfaction comes from customizing the little things around the experience too. I recently started labeling my homebrew bottles with styled name tags using fonts from https://namestyles.net/ — each batch gets its own personality, whether it's a rugged typeface for a stout or something crisp and clean for a pilsner. Friends who taste them always comment on the labels before the beer itself,…
Love the "West Coast Hazy" framing here — keeping bitterness restrained enough to satisfy clear-IPA drinkers while still letting the haze shine is a delicate balance, and the Simcoe/Mosaic pairing sounds like it nails it. The pxEYES artwork is a great match for the cerebral name too. Speaking of fine-tuned precision (very different kind, I know), this online mouse DPI analyzer has been a quick way for me to verify my gaming mouse actually hits its rated sensor resolution before I settle in for a few pints.
