A Note on This Beer

If I had to guess why today’s uncannily smooth Hazy is called Deadly Combination, I’d say it’s because the blend of Strata Hops, Rakau Hops, and milk sugar is so delicious — and so dang good at hiding the 7.4% ABV — it’s dangerously easy to gulp down can after can!

Both Strata and Rakau are becoming increasingly popular in craft, and for good reason! 

Strata, from the lush fields of Oregon, imparts beautiful layers of fresh tropical fruit, along with the pungent aromatics of high quality kush. Rakau is clean and efficient, lending flavors of plump, ripe stone fruits when used late in the brewing process.

Crack open a can, and indulge in the invigorating bouquet of freshly sliced grapefruit and earthy hash. Take a sip, and bathe your taste buds in a thirst quenching blend of mangoes, pineapples, apricots, and mixed berries.

The lucky locals who’ve tried Deadly Combination: Strata & Rakau are raving about its superb drinkability, saying:

  • “Another outstanding offering from this series of two-hop beers. Exceptionally soft, creamy mouthfeel.” @Matthew J.
  • “Awesome as expected. Surprisingly easy drinking.” @Simon W.


We’ve got just 17 cases of this heavenly brew to share. Ready to see what the hop hype is all about?

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers

Best one I’ve had out of the crate. More citrus forward than tropical. Great mouthfeel with very nice carbonation. Light pine in there somewhere
