Bright Ideas Brewing

Noise Complaint is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases an intense aromatic profile driven by a heavy double dry-hopping of Citra, Motueka, and Strata. This combination delivers a bold chorus of bright citrus and tropical passionfruit notes that dominate the experience. Unlike more aggressive versions of the style, this beer prioritizes a smooth, rounded mouthfeel with a subtle residual sweetness that balances its 8% ABV. The finish is remarkably soft, eschewing harsh bitterness for a clean, lingering fruit character. Expect a sophisticated interplay between the zesty lime of Motueka and the complex, berry-like depth of Strata over a clean malt foundation.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange with a slight, modern haze. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit and tangerine from Citra, backed by the distinctive mojito-lime zest of Motueka. Layers of tropical passionfruit and a hint of strawberry from Strata emerge over a clean, neutral, cracker-like malt base.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of citrus and tropical fruit. Mid-palate reveals soft, bready malt with a touch of sweetness. Hop flavors are complex, mirroring the aroma with lime, mango, and resinous undertones. Despite its strength, the bitterness is low for the style, resulting in a smooth, approachable finish with no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a plush, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle lift. A well-integrated, smooth alcohol warmth is present, without any hop-derived astringency.
