This Double IPA presents a creative twist by utilizing Kölsch yeast, which introduces subtle, crisp vinous esters that intertwine with an intense hop profile. Expect a vibrant sensory experience where tropical and citrus hop notes are elevated by the clean, slightly fruity fermentation character typical of the German ale strain. This 8% ABV ale remains remarkably drinkable, balancing its potent hop bitterness with a lean, grainy malt backbone. The result is a modern interpretation that emphasizes a nuanced ester expression, steering away from neutral profiles to add depth to the bold, resinous, and fruity hop-forward finish characteristic of the style.
Appearance.Gold to light orange-copper (6–10 SRM). Clear to slightly hazy with a moderate, persistent white head and delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring citrus, tropical fruit, and light pine. Backed by a soft, grainy malt sweetness and a unique, light pome fruit ester profile suggesting apple or pear from the specialized yeast strain.
Taste.Assertive hop-forward initial impression with layers of melon and citrus. Firm but smooth bitterness is prominent but lacks harshness. A lean, neutral malt character supports the palate without adding weight. The mid-palate reveals delicate vinous esters, finishing dry and clean with a lingering hoppy resonance.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a lively lift across the tongue. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but never solventy.
