Mother Earth is Free Fall-in’
Vista's Mother Earth Brew Co. releases the latest in its Project X series of hazy IPAs, the Strata-, Citra- and Nelson-hopped Free Fall
Mother Earth Brew Co. is continuing its rotating hazy IPA series, Project X, with the release of a new Citra, Strata and Nelson-hopped brew.
Aptly named, Free Fall, starts with custom label art from the likes of Leandro Costa Machado, a digital artist hailing from Brazil. Artistically stylized as MACHADOXLEAO, Machado is known for using “vibrant colors at the edge of saturation” in his work, a method exemplified in Free Fall’s cover.
Mother Earth’s describes its newest hazy IPA as medium- to full-bodied, thanks to a heavy adjunct grain bill of oats and wheat on top of pale 2-row, creating a characteristic haze and sturdy mid-palate. The hop trio of Strata, Citra and Nelson needs no introduction but serves to really bring forward fruit expressions with a dank edge. Strawberry and peach preserves kick off a medley of fruit flavor that also leans into mango, lime and passionfruit, with an herbal, kush-like finish.
Free Fall is rolling out across Mother Earth’s full distribution network this month in 16-ounce cans and on draft. Customers are urged to use the brewery’s beer finder or to visit their California and Idaho tasting rooms this weekend for an early preview.
