Don’t let the name scare you off — this juicebomb IPA from Adroit Theory is so pillow-soft, they could’ve called it ‘Comforter.’

That’s just not how these metal-head brewers do things. They had to give this Mosaic, Galaxy, Ella, El Dorado, and Sultana-hopped brew a spooky name, put a freaky skull on the can, and crank up the booze to 8% ABV. It looks like hardcore cloak and dagger stuff, but it tastes more like a tropical smoothie delivered by an adorable puppy. 

Like the puppy is pulling a little wagon full of tangerines, mangoes, and grapefruit, and it shows up wagging its tiny tail and invites you to blend them all together. And, maybe it’s wearing a little wreath made of fresh cut spruce twigs on its head, because this brew features a note of resinous pine on the finish.

But of course, they can’t put that on the can! This is Adroit Theory, one of the gnarliest brew crews in the country! What would people say??

One thing’s for sure — show up at a rock show, barbecue, or beach day with a few cans of Scarification in the cooler, and people will think you’re drinking something super burly. You don’t have to tell them how soft, smooth, and refreshing it is unless you want to.
