Brothership Brewing

This Double IPA showcases a vibrant interplay of Nelson Sauvin and Citra hops. The sensory experience opens with an intense bouquet of white grape, crushed gooseberry, and bright lime zest, underpinned by subtle tropical mango notes. Despite the heavy hop saturation, the profile remains clean and focused, supported by a neutral, grainy malt backbone that allows the hop oils to shine. A firm but smooth bitterness defines the palate, leading to a crisp, dry finish. The alcohol provides a gentle, well-integrated warmth that enhances the medium-bodied texture without overshadowing the nuanced, vinous characteristics of the New World hops.

Appearance. Pale gold with a soft, hazy sheen. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinctive Nelson Sauvin notes of white wine, passionfruit, and gooseberry, complemented by Citra's citrus zest and melon. Malt is low and neutral, presenting a faint crackery sweetness in the background.

Taste. Strong hop flavors of grapefruit and white grape lead the palate. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but smooth. Malt character is low and supportive, providing a clean, soft structure. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, pleasant hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high. No harsh hop astringency is present, though a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is noticeable.
