This Double IPA presents an intricate sensory profile driven by a unique hopping schedule. The presence of Mosaic, Chinook, and Centennial hops creates an intense bouquet of tropical fruits, notably pineapple and passionfruit, layered over resinous pine and bright citrus zest. A golden, hazy pour reveals a firm malty body that provides necessary structure against a powerful, rolling hop bitterness. The interplay between the punchy hop oils and a clean, supportive malt base ensures a tight, balanced finish. It remains exceptionally drinkable despite its strength, offering a complex yet cohesive experience of modern American hop character that balances intensity with refinement.
