This monumental Quintuple American IPA delivers a lush and nectarous profile that pushes boundaries with its staggering 14% ABV. An aggressive hop bill featuring Mosaic, Idaho 7, and Talus creates a saturated landscape of overripe mango and resinous pine. The brewery’s signature haze ensures a velvety texture where Mosaic and Mosaic Cryo provide concentrated berry and tropical notes, while Idaho 7 and Idaho 7 Cryo contribute stone fruit and forest floor aromatics. Talus and Talus Cryo add a unique grapefruit and dried rose floral complexity, all supported by a dense, honeyed malt backbone and a significant, smooth alcohol warmth.
Appearance.Deep gold to light amber with a heavy, opaque haze and a thick, creamy off-white head that leaves persistent, sticky lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of tropical fruit punch, dank resin, and bright citrus. Prominent Mosaic berry and mango notes blend with Idaho 7 pine and apricot, while Talus contributes distinct grapefruit and floral accents over a sweet, bready malt base with noticeable alcohol sweetness.
Taste.Initial impression is an explosion of tropical nectar and citrus oils. Mosaic flavors of blueberry and mango lead into Idaho 7 notes of apricot and pine. Very high hop bitterness is present but balanced by a rich, nectar-like malt sweetness and significant body. Talus adds a complex herbal and sage-like depth to the mid-palette. The finish is long, hoppy, and intensely warming.
Mouthfeel.Full body with a viscous, creamy, and lush texture. Moderate carbonation and a strong, smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated and lacks harshness or fusel heat.
