Introducing Voyage Spectral, the latest beer in our single-origin series, featuring Manilita, an experimental hop variety out of the @freestylehops research collective. As a test kitchen brewing company, a big part of our mission is to help introduce new ingredients, flavors and possibilities to the world of beer. It always feels exciting to get our hands on vanguard hops like Manilita because it takes so long for growers to bring new varieties into the fold. 4pks of Voyage Spectral release this week. This will be the last hazy ipa we will release ahead of the holiday weekend as we turn our attention towards packaging a few other styles. .

VOYAGE SPECTRAL DIPA [8%] 1st Edition, 2026 Single-Origin Manilita on barley, wheat and oats Developed within the @freestylehops breeding program in Nelson Lakes, Manilita emerged from a pursuit less concerned with brute-force intensity and more focused on nuance, saturation, and aromatic texture. Still experimental and grown in extremely limited quantities [we had to charm Freestyle for enough to make this beer] the variety has quickly attracted brewers for its unusual ability to present vivid tropical character alongside a distinctly candied citrus profile. Unlike many modern cultivars, Manilita moves with softer edges: pink citrus, ripe mango, nectarine, red berry, and flashes of gummy candy layered into a remarkably plush aromatic spectrum. This IPA was designed as a single-origin study of the hop in its purest form — no supporting cast, no blending, no distraction. A pale haze carries aromatics of Juicy Fruit gum, jackfruit, paw paw and mango nectar, while the palate opens into pulpy citrus, soft tropical fruit, and a delicate suggestion of creamsicle and fresh-cut nectarine. Low bitterness and a velvety body allow Manilita’s uncommon aromatic detail to unfold gradually, revealing something different with each return to the glass. .

VOYAGE SPECTRAL 1st Edition, Coming Soon . . . . . #single #origin #experimental #newzealand #hops

Introducing Echo in the Memory, our love letter to the pioneering beers of New England. Brewed with Citra and cryo fresh Krush, a new hop product from @yakimachief created to capture and deliver the ethereal character of freshly harvested hops, Echo in the Memory is designed to evoke memories of the first time you cracked open a can of King Julius. Can sales of our newest triple are now live in the tasting room. It should be a pretty good party today. We’re looking forward to seeing you. . . . . . #newengland #ipa #orange #juice

ECHO IN THE MEMORY Triple IPA [10%] 1st Edition, 2026 Citra, Krush on barley, wheat and oats Created in homage to the formative haze movement that emerged from the breweries of Vermont and Massachusetts in the early 2010s, this triple was designed to evoke memories of the original hazy ipas that got us into beer in the first place. In the glass, the iconic Orange Julius character is unmistakable and it’s highlighted by complimentary notes of fresh squeezed orange juice, apricots and tangerine creamsicles. This is a beer that looks more like a glass of orange juice than the lighter, pale hue that we have all become accustomed to. If you can’t drink a beer with a bit of an orange tint, this one is not for you. If you, like us, have fond memories of quests to the most notable breweries in New England, in search of some of the best beer on Earth, at a time when a new style of hazy IPA was taking shape, well, we think you will love this one. Conceived as both study and celebration, Echo in the Memory was brewed as a heartfelt tribute to our friends at Twin Elephant as they mark their 10th anniversary this weekend — honoring our friendship and serving as a companion piece to Bone Memory, a collaborative effort between @twinelephantbrewing @troonbrewing and @thetestbrewery that is also releasing via Twin Elephant this weekend. Credit for the title is owed to our dear friend @memory_level who has continuously pointed us towards some outstanding reading material over the years. Echo in the Memory releases today, Fri 5/8, at open via the tasting room at 302 Metropolitan Ave. Cans will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. 4-packs will be available while supplies last. Availability and limits are subject to change at a moments notice. As always, we will do our best to post updates to our stories. We’re looking forward to seeing you all. . . . . . #testkitchen #brewing #craft beer

INTERLUDE IN DARKNESS DIPA [8%] 1st Edition, 2026 Citra, Strata on barley, wheat and oats Contrary to the title, this study in intensity is defined by high-toned flavors and aromas of fresh strawberries and bright citrus with pink vanilla and berry cotton candy; all layered over complex herbal, resinous undertones. Composed with low-bitterness, a full body and a soft, saturated mouthfeel, Interlude in Darkness greets you with the vibrant interplay of Citra and the unique strawberry-melon nuances of Strata. This is one of our most immersive drinking experiences yet. . THIS WEEK: Thurs, 4/30, Game 6 will be projecting at 7pm.
