DankHouse Brewing Company Secret Heady Quarters
This formidable Double IPA, crafted in collaboration with Freestyle Hops and their Hop Research Collective, delivers an intense sensory experience driven by a massive saturation of New Zealand hops. The specific use of Nelson Sauvin and Rakau, both in traditional pellet and concentrated Hop Kief forms, creates a vivid tapestry of crushed white grapes, diesel-tinged gooseberry, and lush stone fruit. Despite its potent 10% strength, the beer maintains a focused profile, allowing the hop-derived tropical and orchard fruit notes to dominate. A supportive, neutral malt backbone provides necessary structure without obscuring the complex, resinous, and fruit-forward finish that defines this high-gravity showcase.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper in color (SRM 8-12). It features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing and a modern, slight to moderate haze.
Aroma. Intense hop aroma characterized by prominent white wine, gooseberry, and passion fruit from the Nelson Sauvin, alongside apricot and orchard fruit notes from the Rakau. A supportive, clean, grainy maltiness sits in the background with a lightly fruity fermentation profile and a noticeable but clean alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tropical and stone fruit. High hop bitterness is firm but smooth, lacking harshness. The malt character is low and clean, providing a soft bready foundation for complex flavors of white grape and peach. It concludes with a medium-dry finish and a long, lingering hoppy aftertaste of citrus resin and fruit skins.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the heavy hop kief additions. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A noticeable but restrained and smooth alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
