This Double West Coast IPA presents an assertive and punchy hop profile, characterized by intense notes of sticky pine resin, zesty grapefruit, and underlying tropical fruit. Despite its 8.5% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability through a clean, robust fermentation and a lean but supportive malt backbone. The complex maltiness mentioned by the brewer translates to a subtle toasty, bready depth that balances the aggressive hop bitterness without veering into cloying sweetness. It finishes decisively dry and crisp, leaving a lingering, resinous trail on the palate that defines the classic West Coast character of this potent, hop-forward ale.
Appearance.Deep gold to light copper (8-10 SRM) with good clarity and a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves sticky lacing.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring heavy resin, pine needles, and grapefruit zest with hints of mango. A clean, supportive maltiness provides a grainy, slightly bready background. Fermentation is neutral with a very light, smooth alcohol note.
Taste.Initial hop-forward impression of resinous pine and citrus rind. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness. Malt flavor is unobtrusive, offering soft toasted bread notes rather than caramel. The finish is dry and crisp with a long-lasting, hoppy, and bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth texture and medium-high carbonation. A restrained, warming alcohol presence is noticeable but smooth, without hop-derived astringency.
