Blind Corner Brewery

Root Rattle is a punchy Double IPA that commands attention through a vibrant hop-forward profile. The sensory experience is led by high-intensity notes of jammy tangerine and ripe, cored melon, grounded by an earthy undercurrent of shadowed pine. While the brewery’s description suggests a rugged, weighty character, the beer maintains the classic style profile with a clean, neutral malt backbone that supports the massive hop load without adding cloying sweetness. The finish is notably dry and firm, delivering a lingering bitterness that invites another sip, while the clean fermentation profile ensures the hops remain the undisputed focal point.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper with brilliant clarity. It is topped by a moderate, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring vivid jammy tangerine, sweet melon, and resinous pine. A low, clean, grainy malt presence sits in the background, accompanied by a neutral fermentation profile with very light fruity esters.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of citrus zest, melon, and shadowed pine dominate the palate. Bitterness is high and firm but smooth, lacking any harshness. The malt character is low and crackery, providing a soft foundation that allows for a medium-dry finish and a long, hoppy, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly resinous texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a crispness that balances the weight. A light, clean alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, with no astringency.
