This explosive Double IPA showcases a masterful interplay between New Zealand Kuhatu and Citra Cryo hops. The sensory experience is led by a vibrant blast of orange zest, ripped peach, and sun-kissed pineapple. To support this intense hop profile, ultra-pale malts and oats are utilized, resulting in a luminous appearance and a bold, remarkably smooth body. While it begins with a subtle initial sweetness, it quickly evolves into a complex hop-forward palate. The finish is defined by a well-integrated bitterness that ensures high drinkability despite its 8% strength, leaving a lingering impression of tropical fruit and clean citrus.
Appearance.Pale gold to light orange (6-8 SRM) with a slight, attractive haze from the oat addition. Features a moderate-sized, persistent white head with significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent notes of crushed pineapple, ripe peach, and bright orange zest. A very low, clean, grainy-sweet malt presence sits in the background with a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial impression is smooth and soft with a light malt sweetness that quickly gives way to intense flavors of tropical fruit and citrus. Bitterness is firm but balanced, lacking any harshness. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of orange peel and resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture due to the use of oats. Carbonation is moderate-high. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth and restrained.
