This Double IPA is a vibrant tropical exploration, defined by a saturated profile of fruit nectar. The combination of Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, and Wakatu hops delivers an intense bouquet of fresh guava, lychee, and the signature white grape character of the New Zealand influence. Layers of cantaloupe and candied orange emerge over a supportive but unobtrusive malt base, providing a lush, juice-like complexity. Despite its 8.2% strength, the beer maintains a smooth, approachable character, finishing with a balanced bitterness that cleanses the palate after each sip of its dense, fruity core.
Appearance.SRM 6-8. Deep gold to light orange with a significant, opaque haze. Features a dense, persistent white head with excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical notes of guava and lychee. Distinctive Nelson Sauvin provides a white grape and gooseberry lift, while Mosaic and Wakatu add layers of cantaloupe and candied orange. Low, neutral grainy malt in the background; fermentation is clean with subtle fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit nectar. Prominent flavors of ripe guava, white grape, and lychee lead into a mid-palate of melon and orange marmalade. Bitterness is firm but smooth, balancing the fruit intensity without harshness. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering tropical and resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 8.2% ABV, and free of any astringency.
