Super Freak delivers a saturating sensory experience defined by intense hop saturation. An aggressive double dry-hop addition of Vic Secret, Mosaic, and El Dorado creates a vibrant bouquet of tropical pineapple, ripe passionfruit, and candied watermelon. The pour is a radiant gold with a persistent white head. On the palate, Mosaic contributes distinct notes of blueberry and earthy resin, while El Dorado adds layers of stone fruit sweetness. Despite the 8.2% ABV, the body remains medium and the finish is surprisingly dry, allowing the firm bitterness and expressive New World hop character to lead. This Double IPA is a focused expression of modern hop intensity.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (approx. 8 SRM). Moderate haze is present due to the heavy double dry-hopping. A thick, off-white, persistent head leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring heavy tropical fruit (pineapple, passionfruit), ripe melon, and berry notes. Supportive, clean, neutral malt in the background with a very light grainy sweetness. Fermentation is clean with a hint of smooth alcohol warmth.
Taste.Dominant hop flavors of tropical pineapple and stone fruit with a backing of blueberry and pine. Moderately high bitterness is firm but smooth, never harsh. Malt character is supportive and soft, providing a neutral foundation without cloying sweetness. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, resinous hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp lift. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, without any harshness or astringency.
