This Double IPA delivers a powerful sensory impact driven by a heavy-handed application of Citra and Riwaka hops. At 8.8% ABV, the beer presents a bold aromatic profile of tropical passionfruit, lime zest, and grapefruit, underpinned by the unique pungent, diesel-like nuances characteristic of the New Zealand Riwaka. The palate is defined by an intense but clean hop bitterness that dominates a lean, neutral malt backbone. Despite its strength, the beer maintains high drinkability with a crisp, dry finish that allows the vibrant citrus and resinous hop oils to linger. Well-integrated alcohol provides a smooth, warming sensation that balances the aggressive hop character.
Appearance.Pours a pale gold to light orange with a moderate-sized, persistent white head and excellent clarity; fine lacing clings to the glass as the head recedes.
Aroma.High-intensity hop aroma featuring Citra-driven notes of mango and citrus peel alongside Riwaka’s distinctive passionfruit and grapefruit. Neutral, grainy malt is subtle in the background; fermentation is clean with a slight, smooth alcohol note.
Taste.Initial impression is a wave of tropical and citrus hop flavors followed by a moderately high, firm bitterness. The malt character is soft, low, and unobtrusive, providing a clean stage for hop complexity. The finish is medium-dry to dry, lacking any heavy residual sweetness, with a long, clean, hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, round texture. Carbonation is medium-high, adding a lively crispness. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but not harsh or solventy.
