Full Beast Mode

Full Beast Mode

Mosaic, HBC 586, and Citra. 8.3 percent. Full Beast Mode is the last of Original Pattern's six new releases this week, and the numbers alone explain the name.

Mosaic. HBC 586. Citra. 8.3% ABV. That's most of the explanation for the name right there.

Full Beast Mode is a DIPA overflowing with rich pine and sweet fruit, balanced by a floral bite that keeps the whole thing from turning one-dimensional. It's the sixth and last beer in Original Pattern's release this week, and by the time you reach it, the lineup has covered a lager, a pale ale, a sour, an IPA, and a hazy DIPA. This one closes things out at the top of the ABV scale, which feels like the correct place for it.

Oakland's Original Pattern clearly built this drop with range in mind, and ending on the heaviest, hoppiest entry is a reasonable way to send people home.

Available now.

Six beers, one closer. This is the one that closes.
