This Double IPA radiates a vibrant sensory profile driven by a heavy-handed trio of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. It opens with an intense burst of tropical fruit and bright citrus, grounded by a distinctive resinous pine character that adds depth to the aromatic experience. Despite its strength, the beer maintains high drinkability, balancing a soft, doughy malt backbone against a firm, clean bitterness. The infusion of Citra and Mosaic delivers lush notes of mango and grapefruit, while Simcoe provides a lingering evergreen finish, resulting in a complex yet remarkably smooth and modern expression of the style.
Appearance.Hazy, pale gold to light orange (6-8 SRM). Features a moderate-sized, persistent, creamy white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.Intense hop-forward aroma featuring high notes of grapefruit, tangerine, and passion fruit. A background of resinous pine and subtle forest floor dankness. Malt is low and neutral, providing a soft cracker-like base with light fruity esters.
Taste.Bold citrus and tropical fruit flavors lead with prominent mango and zesty orange pith. A firm but smooth bitterness cuts through the soft, supportive malt. Piney resin appears in the mid-palate. The finish is medium-dry, leaving a lingering hop oil sensation and a clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated without harsh astringency.
