This assertive Double IPA presents as a stunning garnet-hued ale, bridging the gap between a robust strong ale and a hop-forward powerhouse. An intense dry-hop profile dominates the nose, offering resinous pine and citrus notes that lead into a surprisingly substantial caramel malt backbone. At 9.2% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated, providing a smooth warmth that complements the firm, lingering bitterness. The balance between the toasted sweetness of the caramel malt and the aggressive American hop character creates a complex, sensory-rich experience tailored for those seeking both depth and high-impact hop saturation.
Appearance.Deep copper to garnet with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thick, creamy, off-white head that shows excellent retention and leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of resinous pine, grapefruit zest, and subtle floral tones. A rich, supportive malt presence follows, characterized by distinct caramel and toasted bread scents, with a clean, warming alcohol note in the background.
Taste.A bold initial impression of citrusy hops and assertive bitterness. The mid-palate reveals a sturdy caramel malt sweetness that provides a counterpoint to the high IBU levels. The finish is medium-dry and warming, leaving a lingering resinous hop flavor and a clean bitterness that avoids harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, accentuating the hop bite. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its high ABV without being solventy.
